General Media Policies:
To relieve congestion at the playing facilities and ensure the enjoyment of the athletes at the event, we have established the following policies:
All members of the media must remain on the outer perimeter of the playing area and may sit in the general seating areas only (not player benches, near coaches, etc.).
Photographers may take photos from the designated areas on the outside baselines of each court. These areas are the only places where photographers may sit on the floor and shoot photos. Photos may be taken while sitting in the general seating area as long as the other spectators’ views are not adversely affected. Standing tripods are not allowed for use in this area. Photographers (with cameras) are the only persons allowed in the designated photo areas. Photographers may not photograph the medical recovery sections of the courts.
Video interviews with athletes will be permitted post-game only. One cameraman is permitted per outlet per game. Video media outlets can record up to 10 total minutes of footage per game and can post highlight footage with a maximum of 3 minutes per session each day.
Web streaming / live streaming is not permitted. Highlights posted to social media or media outlet platforms cannot exceed one (1) minute from any single game. No individual clip can be longer than ten (10) seconds.
It is not permitted to ask athletes for phone numbers or personal contact information. Please communicate with AAU Australia/Queensland directly.
Anyone who violates these policies may be asked to relinquish their credential and leave the facility. Failure to comply with video policies may result in future credentialing reviews.
