The EDJBA has made the decision to move the competition from operating under Orange-50 to COVIDSAFE (Green-100) effective from this Saturday, 23rd January 2021. This will see a significant number of restrictions eased including spectators limits increased slightly as well as the game length returning to two 20-minute halves.

As per COVIDSAFE, spectator limits will be increased to 40 per court, which will allow for two spectators per player.
