Again, games cancelled at Wayville Stadium due to water on the courts - anyone know why it was being used in the first place on a Sunday instead of having Friday night games like the rest of the games?
World Table Tennis Champs booked in there, have been there all week (until yesterday I believe)

What about using some of the other stadiums though, surley there were spare courts at Pasadena or Morphettvale?

We were at the early game and kids were sliping on the water, It should have been stopped earlier or maybe fit it, that would work.
can someone please find out if the games are on we have one later on

There was some condensation on the courts this morning but all have been wiped and dry since.

agreed wayville - plus other stadiums could do with air cond and extra courts
The dad of one of the div3 under 16 girls is a roofie-give him a call and get rid of whoever repaired it before,better yet sue him!
Think you"ll find it was flooding (water came up thru the floorboards) rather than roof leaking ...
you sure it wasn't excessive dribble from Forestville mouths lmao

I was there and there was water coming from above but the majority of the problem was from below.
There were no games at AHRC on Friday night, so that venue was free for games when Wayville was unable to provide courts - so there was no need for Sunday games, they could have been played Friday night.
Your an idiot if you think playing some games from a 3 court BSA stadium in a 2 court non-BSA stadium for teams not from Mt Barker was a sensible solution.

And again, on court 1 it happened today with the rescheduled games!

and how can a team play their usual junior game on a friday and then a catch up game at mr barker the same friday ?
the factor,
these games were not played on Friday because Wayville was full.
They were then rescheduled to the following sunday.
That was washed out so to speak. And set to be replayed again today.
2 of these games have again been cancelled.
Why not just use the dome for rescheduled games to stop disruption to club trainings and to stop this rediculous situation where clubs have been unable to train because BSA cant spend the money to use a more suitable court.

Something needs to happen here to resolve this issue. This is happening too often and is become totally awkward for the sport. It's more than embarrassing!
The tenant is not responsible for R&M to a building and is only required to report to issue to the owner. If that has not happened by now, someone needs a big f'n boot up the clacker.
Obviously, the building has issues that are need of urgent repair or attention. There appears to be two issues with the building.
1. Rainwater inundation
2. Stormwater inundation
For rainwater inundation to occur either the roof is not watertight, the gutters are not watertight, or else the downpipes are too small for the roof area. (every 1 m2 of roof is required to have a minimum of 65 mm2 of downpipe size under the BCA rules)
For stormwater inundation to occur, it means that stormwater can't get away fast enough, or else stormwater from an external source flows into the building.
Either way, it would appear as though the building is unable to adequately comply with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia. Therefore, its certificate of occupancy is invalid and occupation of the building would therefore be in breach of the BCA. Any insurance is therefore null and void.
It might mean basketball not be played at Wayville for a while, but this is an issue that should actually be reported to the local council for rectification if the landlord is unwilling or unable to make good the building fit for occupancy.
Why cant BSA just reschedule games to the Dome?
Much easier solution so families in the sport dont get d#cked around by turning up twice for cancellations?
