Touch FAQs

Where in Auckland can I play at an In 2 Touch venue?
We have two venues – one at Gribblehirst Park in Sandringham and also at the Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve on Dunkirk Road in Panmure
How long is the season?
This can sometimes depend on field availability with regard to the rugby season, but we usually kick off just after Labour Weekend, break just before Christmas, then start up again in January and run until late Feb or early March
Do we play every night of the week?
No – you would choose which night suits you at your chosen venue. Gribblehirst Park runs over Tue/Wed/Thur evenings with Dunkirk Road TBC
How do I register my team?
Once registrations are open, click on the ORANGE 'Register Here' link which is on the top RHS of the website, or click on http://in2touch.liquidthinking.co.uk/Registration/Index2.asp Follow the instructions through. If you are already registered in our system (i.e. you have entered a team in a previous season) then log into the system with your existing username and password. If you can't remember your log-in details simply email us and we'll re-set that for you.
How many people in a team?
You can have up to 14 players in your squad, and it is 6-aside on the field at any one time. If you are playing in a mixed team then you must have 2 ladies on the pitch at all times.
Can I register as an individual if I don’t have enough people to make up a full team?
Yes – you can register your details for any night and/or any venue that you wish. If we are putting an individual team together for that particular venue then we would contact you to check your availability. If we were to find you a team to play in then the costs would be dependent on how many others were in the team. We may not be putting an individual team together at the venue that you wanted so you may want to also register as a ‘ringer’ – this would notify any team looking for an additional player on any night of your availability.
How much is it to enter?
Please see the specific venue for team costs.
Does my team have to wear a uniform?
YES. By registering with an In 2 Touch competition you agree to the rules set out by In 2 Touch administration. ALL teams are required to wear a uniform, which will consist of NUMBERED shirts of the same colour. This number can be stitched, painted, drawn or otherwise attached to the BACK of the playing shirts. If your team does not have a full uniform by the conclusion of the grading games then you risk having points deducted until a uniform is organised. Please note that In 2 Touch have team shirts available for purchase if required – these are pre-packed reversible shirts numbered 1 – 12 and are $80 a set.
How do League Divisions work and how many teams play in them?
Teams that play in our Touch Leagues will play in a 'grading' match in the first couple of weeks of the season and then be placed in the grade suited to their skill, fitness levels, age, previous season results etc. Teams are then placed in an appropriate league.. Teams will either play each other once or on a double round basis to determine positions for the knock out stages.
If I cancel my registration can I get my deposit back?
Yes – if you cancel before the season starts, and we haven’t turned other teams away due to that particular league night being full already, then we will refund your deposit (or full amount if that’s what was paid). If the season has started or we have turned teams away due to the league being full then unfortunately we are unable to make a refund of any monies unless we are able to find a team to replace you in the league.
How do I make payment?
Once you have followed the instructions through and registered your team, the website will take you directly to the secure PayPal payment site – here you now have the option of paying the deposit or full amount. Please note that no place is guaranteed unless either the deposit or full amount is paid. If you are logging back in to pay the balance on your account, click on 'My Statement' on the left hand side of your profile.
Is there a penalty for not having team shirts?
Yes – if your team is not wearing their team shirts after grading commences then your team risk having points deducted until a uniform is organised. Teams not in uniforms will not be eligible to play in a semi-final, or final match.
Are there any hidden costs?
None whatsoever.
When do registrations open?
Registrations for the 2011 Auckland Summer season will be open mid-August. Simply follow the link ‘Register Here’ and enter a Team or as an Individual or if you are a current member log on with your existing username and password.
What sort of shoes do we wear?
You can wear specialised touch shoes (with plastic cleats) or trainers. Please note NO screw-ins or metal studs are allowed – referees WILL be checking this. Players are also not allowed to play in bare feet and if no shoes are worn they will be asked to leave the field.
How long are the games and what time do we play?
At almost all venues games are 40mins long – 2 x 18min halves with a 2min half time. Games will always start on time with the venue manager sounding the horn at the start of the match (please see your relevant venue page for specific start times). Referees will allow 5 minutes before calling a default if you are late for your game.
What happens if we can’t play one evening due to other commitments?
Hopefully you have chosen a night where you have no other commitments for the season, but if your team is unable to play then you MUST contact the Auckland office on kirst@in2touch.com by 12h00 on the day prior to your fixture so that we can let your opposition know.
Do I have to put all team members’ details into my team registration when I register?
YES - all team members details are required for indemnity purposes. Also , team members will be able to receive news and information from us and more importantly weekly game times – see below. You will also be able to email your team from the In 2 Touch system if you have their details registered.
How do I know what time my team is playing each week?
Our system will send an email to each team member registered to let them know what time they are playing. This email will be received the last working day before the game and then the again the next week for the following game. The email will ask for the players' availability - they can choose 'Available' or 'Unavailable' which will send an automatic email through to the team organiser so they know at the touch of a button who is playing each week. Fixtures, results and standings are also available on the In 2 Touch website under the venue page.
Does each venue have mixed and men’s competitions?
Yes - There will be mixed and men’s open and social leagues at each venue, and also a Men’s Masters division.
Is there a women’s only competition?
Not at this stage but this would be solely dependent on interest. If you have a ladies team that are interested in playing at any of our venues please email kirst@in2touch.com
If I haven’t played before am I able to come down and just watch?
Of course! Feel free to come down to any of our venues and check out how the game is played. You can ask around for the venue manager (usually easily spotted wearing In 2 Touch gear and carrying a clip board) and they will be able to show you around.
Do you only play over the summer months?
At this stage In 2 Touch venues are only over the summer months, but there are plans in place for a winter league in the coming seasons.
Are In 2 Touch venues affiliation to Touch NZ?
Yes – all In 2 Touch venues are affiliation to Touch NZ and the Auckland Touch Association.
