Baywide Open

This event is for club teams from the 7 Netball Centres. Secondary School Teams can also enter and Netball Bay of Plenty has always had it as an option to help prepare the top Under 17 and Under 19 Teams for their National events. The event is played from the last week in May to mid July on a Tuesday night in Whakatane, Rotorua and Tauranga so that teams are able to play on a home and away basis. The Finals Day (Saturday in mid July) sees both the semis and the finals played for the specially designed gold, silver and bronze Netball Bay of Plenty Medals in Championship, Plate and Bowl (if there are sufficient teams)Divisions. An MVP is chosen for each division. Umpires who umpire Finals are awarded medals also.
