A three person selection committee will review all athletes who register their interest for joining a Massey University team; this committee will be made up of one representative from each campus
In addition, the two Massey University high performance coordinators will provide (non-voting) advice on the athletes who have registered where necessary.
The Selection Committee will chose a team or individual who they determine to be best placed to represent Massey University at the highest level. Some of the factors involved in the selection process will include:
Massey University will be helping cover the costs for the teams representing Massey at sanctioned University and Tertiary National competitions. This funding will cover up to 50% of the costs for Team Entry Fee, Travel, and Accommodation.
Athletes will be expected to cover their own food costs while away at the event, and will also need to cover any additional costs for possible team activities while away.
