LATEST UPDATES 29.07.14
The draw released 28.07.14 has today been revised thanks to some keen eyes.
The revised draw ver28.07.14 has been superceded. The latest draw is above.
With 74 teams taking part in this years tournament, it is one of the biggest "single sport" competitions in Australia.
As you can appreciate with 13 divisions to schedule some 248 games over 15 days, it is a mindblowing and exhaustive process to ensure that there is an even and equitable distribution of timeslots. Inevitably there will be some errors and the need for a revised draw or two to be released.

Change to the Over 40's Division 1 & 2 competition (as at 20/07/14)
The age division has had to be revised after a withdrawal of a Division 1 team from the competition.
Originally there were 7 teams who were to compete as division 1 teams this year, now there are 6. Subsequently the age group has now reverted back to a two division competition. This means that there will be 6 teams competing in division 1 and 4 teams competing in divison 2.
With this change also comes a change to the competition dates for DIVISION 2 teams only. They will now play their competition from Monday 29th September through to Saturday 11th October.
All other age divisions have had no change to their competition dates or format.

Revised draw format for 2014 (as at 29.06.14)
After a survey conducted last year by the Australian Mens Masters Hockey Committee, the outcome of this survey has resulted in a restructure of the format for the championships as we have known them.
The main changes are:
As you will see in the dates below, most teams are no longer required to be at the venue for a start on the first Monday of the championships. This is something that you will need to discuss with your team manager as to when you will be required to be in Perth.
If you are intending to have a training run once you arrive, you will need to advise Paul Hardie of this so we can look at booking a turf time. Training times are yet to be allocated by the Championships Convenor but if you get in early there's a good chance you will get the time that you want.
As at 25/06/14 it is still unclear as to what the final changes to the tournament shall look like. Back in our NEWSLETTER in May we informed you of the proposed starting dates for each of the age groups. The starting dates below are the latest updates we are aware of.
***UPDATE 29.06.14*** We have received advice that the dates below are looking very close to being confirmed....90% certain we've heard.
2014 National Championships (competition dates)
35's (Saturday 27th Sept - 5th Oct)
40/1's (Friday 3rd Oct - 11th Oct)
40/2's (Monday 29th Sept - 11th Oct)
45/1's ( Friday 3rd Oct - 11th Oct)
45/2's (Wednesday 1st Oct - 11th Oct)
50/1's (Thursday 2nd Oct - 11th Oct)
50/2's (Tuesday 30th Sept - 11th Oct)
55/1's (Sunday 28th Sept - 11th Oct)
55/2's (Monday 29th Sept - 11th Oct)
60's 65's & 70's (Monday 29th Sept - 11th Oct)
Unfortunately we must wait until the close of final team nominations (30/07/14) to be certain of these dates and this should be clearer after that.
The main changes are:
- Shorter competition dates for many age divisions
- Combining of Division 1 & 2 in the 40's age group
