Heat Policy
In 2007, Basketball Victoria amended its Participants Protection By-laws to introduce a requirement for monitoring temperature on court when the weather is hot. This amendment requires that all stadiums must be fitted with a thermometer and the inside temperature must be taken every hour whilst the stadium is in use and a note kept of the temperature in a permanent written record at the stadium.
If the inside temperature reaches 30oC the Competition Manager must consider implementing modified timing rules and if the temperature reaches 35oC must implement those timing rules.
