The update BISFed Rules 2021 -2024 V1.1. are now available on both the World Boccia and BA websites. 

Version  2021 -2024 V1.2 will be availalbe in January and contain detail of the new ball licencing rules which will not affect competitions in Australia

Lisa Hanssens, Australian Head Referee is working with the referees, to ensure they are ready to implement them at 2022 competitions.

Changes include ramp assistants are now called Ramp Operators (RO’s), increasing the size of the penalty box and clarification on what is a dropped ball. While Boccia Australia will implement these rules there is the ability to make changes to suit our athletes. Eg the rules now state ‘Competitors must be seated in a wheelchair to compete’ however we will not enforce this rule in Australia.

Well done Emily Finn who was successful in having a BISFed rule modified !
