Gymnastics Queensland Official’s State Team Agreement
(All members of the Queensland State Team are required to complete the State Team Agreement. This form must be completed by all State Team Officials including Judges.)
I hereby agree as a member of the Queensland State Team officiating at the 2022 Australian Gymnastics Championships between 11th - 25th May at Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre, Carrara to travel & stay (if required) with, attend, compete and/or participate and perform my duties, fulfil my purpose and conduct myself at all times at the said event, and its associated trials or displays, meetings and official commitments as applicable, under the following terms and conditions:

(iii) To pay all appropriate fares, fees, deposits, costs and expenses as invoiced to me by Gymnastics Queensland by the due dates prior to my travel as advised in official notification from the Association and in accordance with the State Team Selection document and further agree to pay any costs which may be legally and reasonably incurred by me prior to, during, or subsequent to the event.
(iv) To remain under the authority, management and direction of the State Team Manager in all matters relating to this event from the date of my acceptance of a position on the Team until my return to my port of departure or official release from the Team.
(v) To offer myself in a prepared physical and psychological state which will ensure I can exercise to the best of my endeavours the duties, responsibilities and purpose for which I have been selected on the Team.

(xii) To accept responsibility for all actions taken.
I further agree to accept that Gymnastics Queensland has expressly provided that in the event of any breach of discipline, I may be subject to one or more of the following penalties:
(i) To be sent home at a time and by means determined by the State Team Manager or Head of Delegation.
(ii) To be suspended or disqualified or banned from future state team representation.
(iii) To remain liable for any costs incurred which may arise as a result of a breach.
I understand that at the time of team departure only officials who will officiate at the Australian Championships will travel and be accommodated with the team. Official’s injured or ill prior to departure will receive a refund less 20% of team costs from GQ (except air travel).
Should there be a surplus of funds at the end of the Australian Championships Financial Reconciliation and the surplus amount is more than $100.00 per team member, the amount will be refunded to each team member. If the surplus amount is less than $100.00 per team member the entire amount will be retained and utilised for contingency for the team travelling to following year’s Australian Championships. If Australian Championships are split then the pro rata amount will be allocated to each Australian Championships contingency fund based on which gymsports attend each event.
I have read and hereby agree to abide by the above State Team Agreement and the following GQ By Laws, Policies & Procedures.
