Referee complaints

Lodge a referee complaint.

Use the form below to give Auckland Water Polo the information needed to review a specific concern about a referee, rule application, game management or referee conduct.

Be specific.

Tell us which game, which referee, approximately when the incident occurred and what you are asking AWP to review.

Include supporting information.

If you have video, photographs, game records or relevant witnesses, include those details in your submission.

What happens next?

Your complaint will enter the referee complaints process for review. AWP may contact you if further information is required.

Game-day complaint

If the applicable competition disputes process requires the complaint to be raised within 30 minutes of the game ending, make sure Pool Control has been notified before you leave the venue. Completing the form does not replace that game-day notification requirement.
