What registration and courses must I complete before I can play?

From the 2027 Australian Championship Regulations (section 6):

• All players, team officials, selectors, umpires and appointed statisticians must be registered in the National Database for the current season before the event (rule 6.2).
• All required integrity courses listed by Softball Australia must be completed by every player and team official to take part (rule 6.3).
• No player or official may take the diamond, play in any game or undertake any championship duties until their participant registration is fully complete and all mandatory integrity and accreditation course requirements are met. No exceptions are granted unless Softball Australia approves them in extraordinary circumstances (rule 6.4).
• States are strongly encouraged to check completion of the integrity courses during the trial process, for example by asking participants for screenshots or certificates, well before team selection and championship deadlines.
