Registration
Players and officials must complete both Great Barrier Reef Masters Games (GBRMG) registration and Softball Australia registration.
1. GBRMG Registration
All participants must register for the Games through the GBRMG registration system.
2. Softball Australia Registration
Participants must also hold a current Softball Australia registration through RevSport to compete in the softball competition.
If you are already registered for the 2026/27 Softball Australia season, you do not need to complete another Softball Australia registration.
If you are not currently registered, choose one of the following options:
- Full-season registration – Join a club/team participating in a winter competition and register for the full season through that club/team. Fees vary and may cover you through to the end of the club/team season.
- 1-week Event registration – If you are participating in the GBRMG only, you can purchase a 1-week Softball Australia registration through RevSport.
Please note: The 1-week registration can only be used once per Softball Australia financial year, from 1 July to 30 June, and cannot be used for multiple separate events in the same financial year.
