@Bovidae HIBS is my old stomping ground, do you know who won?

@Canes4life No, I don't know the score. I just saw a graphic advertising the match. It is a winter exchange fixture.

Results Wed 25 May 2022
Traditionals/exchanges:- Napier BHS 33 - 17 Scots College
Didn't make the game despite it being a gloriously fantastic warm and sunny day here in the Bay (but certainly a chilly start it must be confessed!) Looks like the scorekeeper must have stopped recording the points scored by the home side once they reached 30 (bit like the junior cricket situation when you often retire once you score 30 runs).
Does the NBHS v Scots College fixture fall into the traditionals or exchanges category? -

Rotorua BHS 64-14 Matamata College

@Can-I-Play-too Was that a home/Moascar Cup game?
-
@Stargazer yep correct

The competition, which is the largest and one of the most geographically spread 1st XV competitions in the country, including teams from South and Mid Canterbury, Canterbury, and Ta$man is set to split into two competitions in a bid to address concerns around player wellbeing, reducing the season length to implement the ‘Balance in Better’ philosophy in youth sport.
Reducing the number of round robin games played from 13 to 9, the new Premiership and Championship format will better align with summer sports, reduce player load, and improve the long-term financial sustainability of the competitions.
It also means being in a better position to welcome new schools to the competition.Reducing the size of the competition will allow time for traditional school games with teams from outside the competition, as well as between schools who are not in the same division. While the Premiership will offer opportunities for traditional inter school fixtures inside and outside the competition, the Championship has opened the door for new opportunities to be created as well as continuing traditional rivalries.
The Premiership will move to a 10-team competition while the Championship will initially feature a handful of 2nd XV sides.
Movement between the two competitions is still being worked through with the schools, with a focus on achieving a fair and equitable outcome but there will be promotion and relegation. -

@Bovidae That seems to be what they're acknowledging by making these changes.
Remove some of the barriers (particularly number of games and travel) and maybe more kids might be inclined to either stay in the sport or to give rugby a go (if they haven't played before), especially if they can play in a lower division.

Privacy laws apply to private information. Being on a register is not private information.
The following are all groups of people I can publicly search to see if they are registered: nurses, teachers, voters, company directors.
If I can look up something as private as whether a person is bankrupt, why can I not search to see which school a player is registered at?

@Chester-Draws I expect privacy laws for students are different given majority of students are <16.
