Super Rugby Aupiki 2023

@Crucial I suspect you're thinking of a different type of document than I'm referring to. This is not about player payments, leave, etc. It's the handbook that contains the rules for the SR Aupiki competition, similar to the Competitions Regulations Handbook, which contains the rules for the NPC, FPC and Heartland competitions. Rules about the format of the competition, competitions points allocation, ranking, tiebreaker rules etc.

Yeah. ThTs what I said a couple of posts ago. Both 2022 ones are available but the 2023 stuff isn’t.

@Crucial I can't find the 2022 one either.
Sorry. Think we are just in a tangle.
Yes 2022 Playing regs are available but don’t contain Aupiki.
NZRPA details regarding payments, sponsor endorsements etc etc are available for Aupiki but also only 2022. -

Went through this weekend's Super W team sheets to search for Aupiki players. I may have missed a name, but I found these players:
Amy Rule - Brumbies
Rachael Rakatau - Rebels
Di Hiini - Reds
Cristo Tofa - Reds
Carys Dallinger - Reds
Martha Mataele - Force
Atlanta Lolohea - ForceI assume there may be more, next week.
Also in the Reds squad is former Canterbury & Auckland player Sam Curtis; she didn't play in Aupiki.

A longer competition for 2024.
- An extended competition with a home and away format before a final.
- An eight-week individual paid preparation window before a four-week pre-season that will include two matches.
- Each club will contract 30 players (an increase of two players per squad).
Sky Super Rugby Aupiki 2024 format confirmed
New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and the four Sky Super Rugby Aupiki clubs have today confirmed an enhanced 2024 competition format with an increased focus on player development.

@Bovidae be interesting to know what a contract for the Womens NRL is worth ?, hopefully this Aupiki increase may keep a few in NZ.
-
@Steven-Harris Yeah, this year there wasn't an overlap so some players could do both. I wonder what agreement Nathan-Wong had with NZR?
