Prize money competitions in Perth, WA
One ladder, three disciplines: we publish how cash splits before the first coin toss so every pair knows the upside.
01 — Format
Format overview
Prize money is not a gimmick add-on: it is woven into how Super BLTR 8s keeps Perth pairs honest across the whole night. Aggregate points from powerhitting, long catch and bowling stations feed a master sheet nobody can edit after upload. We announce tier splits in Australian dollars, note whether GST applies to entry versus prizes, and keep a printed copy at the scorer’s table for anyone who wants to photograph it.
Sponsors from Osborne Park to Scarborough sometimes boost a round; when they do, we update the public PDF before warm-ups begin so late entries are not caught out.
02 — How it works
What’s involved
Opt in during registration, pay any uplift fee and sign the prize clause that covers photo rights for podium shots. If your pair misses a discipline without a medical certificate, that leg scores zero: we do not average across absent friends. Finals qualification uses the same weighting as pool rounds, which stops sandbagging when teams travel from Alkimos or Clarkson for the last week.
03 — On the night
What to expect
Expect EFTPOS or bank transfer within ten business days once IDs are checked. We withhold prize tax reporting guidance in writing because individual circumstances differ; talk to your tax agent about hobby versus income rules under Australian law. Disputes trigger a three-person review panel drawn from neutral BLTR volunteers not umpiring that night.

05 — Common questions
FAQ
Are BLTR 8s prizes treated as taxable income in Australia?
That depends on your personal situation and whether cricket is a hobby or a business activity. We provide a summary receipt; your accountant applies Australian Taxation Office guidance.
What if a sponsor pulls out mid-season?
We honour the minimum pool printed in your registration pack for rounds already invoiced. Future rounds adjust publicly: no silent cuts overnight.
Can Perth juniors receive prize money directly?
Under-18 payouts go to the guardian named on the waiver unless we hold a formal club trustee letter on file before the final siren.
