Most teams do not have any means of identifying the Officials during a Gateball game. Overseas suppliers do have arm bands in English but few clubs have purchased them. John Park who is the Australian Co-ordinator of Gateball Australia has organised the colour coded armbands and the identification label on cardboard. Used for the first time in QLD at the McIlwraith Gateball Challenge 3-31st March, most of the players were able to wear the adjustable armbands. They do need altering to cater for the different arm sizes, but, most of the players could manage that.

Thanks John for this initiative. There are 6 sets for use at QLD Competitions. Captain armbands are not worn by many Captains in QLD Clubs so perhaps these could be next?
