As your Provincial Association we are here for 2 main purposes

1. To support you with your module(s) to enable you to provide a quality Touch competition

2. To provide a pathway to representative teams

Below is the Affiliation process and the benefits we can provide to you.  We are constantly reviewing what and how we support you, to provide you with better service and benefits. If you have any questions or suggestions please don’t hesitate to support@cmtouch.co.nz

Each year we require you to register each module you are running with both Counties Manuaku Touch Association (CMTA) and Touch NZ (TNZ). There is now 2 forms to complete.

• Free use of the Sporty Technology Platform for Touch to allow you to provide a full technology experience to your players, saving you time and enhancing the professionalism of the competition. We’ll support you, with Sporty, including getting it set up, so if you’re hesitant with technology don’t worry we’ll be there to help you. The Sporty platform includes:
  • Free website – customised for you
  • Online team registration – can be done by the individuals now so it’s not all on the team manager. Next year you can send out the team link to the manager and only changes will need to be made. This saves them time and it’s easy marketing for you to get teams registered
  • SKED Draws and Results – this is offered at a discounted rate, once you have the teams registered it will provide you with the software to simply do your draws and publish them on your website. It's easy to make changes during the season, and can be done in real-time with communication sent to the teams to advise them. Results can then be uploaded at the end of the night
  • Game Day App – this will allow both teams to enter scores as it happens so no more uploading after the game. Saving you more time and allowing teams instant knowledge of game scores. 

Below is a simple diagram to show you how each piece works together:
