FAQ's

What is the cost to play?

WSA no longer has the ability to subsidise representative levies, therefore the cost of attending a tournament will be directly passed through to players.  The costs are being finalised by the end of September at the latest.  

Is WSA applying for grant funding?

Yes, WSA will be applying for grant funding and if received then this result in a reduction to player levies.  Funding is underway now and we expect to know by the end of October/November where we've been successful.

Can I have a payment plan?

Yes you can but the full amount still needs to be paid by the final due date.

Doesn't WSA have a hardship fund?

No, WSA does not have this any more.  All the funds from this have been used.

​​​​​​​Payments

Any payments due WSA can be paid direct into the Association's Account:
