Are scores kept, and are there ladders or finals?

Junior league competitions are Development Competitions, so no ladders, finals series or premierships at any age from Under 6 to Under 12.

• Under 6 to Under 9: matches are not scored at all.
• Under 10 to Under 12: matches may be scored, but results are not to be published.

Leagues are asked to even out the talent across teams, play teams of similar ability against each other as often as possible, and give every team an equal number of games.
