Congratulations to all our NT Teams who participated in our NT Final

Registrations for our 2027 TOM NT Tounament will open at the beginning of November. This year is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.

We are holding TIF 2026 here in Darwin and looking forward to welcoming all the teams from across the Australian states and territories, as well as New Zealand and Hong Kong. If you would like to help us by becoming a volunteer either before the event or during the event, please let us know as soon as possible so we can add you to our list. We estimate needing approximately 100 volunteers all up and presently only have about 40, so your hep will be greatly appreciated.
