Standards
The Blues Committee recognises that comparing clubs and sports is not an easy task. Factors such as the sport size, the competition level and the pathways within each sport can make this task difficult. To ensure all who receive an award are of similar calibre, 'club standards' are set to ensure consistency but still cater for sport and club differences. Clubs are asked to refer to their club standards when discussing potential nominees and complete the online application form by the due date. All applications will then be reviewed, discussed and ratified by the Blues Committee.
A nomination must be:
-
Received within six months after the nominee has last competed for the club/participated in club activities
-
A letter of support from the club/person(s) making the nomination must accompany the nomination
-
Nomination form completed by a member of the Club Committee. Round one nominations are open until Friday 31 May 2024.
Unsporting Behaviour
None of the awards, a Blue, Half Blue or Club Letters, may be awarded to a person who has acted in an unsporting manner to the detriment of the welfare of such person’s club or the prejudice of the dignity and honour of AU Sport or the University.
Review of Standards
The Blues Committee recommends that each club review their standards at least once every three to five years and ideally this should be done by an established Blues Committee or Sub-Committee appointed by the club. The review period is open every year between November and May, and clubs should do this in consultation with us. More information about the process can be found in the Blues Guidelines.
