New Zealand Cricket, in conjunction with Tui Breweries, has moved to modify the protocols applying to the Tui Catch-A-Million promotion with immediate effect – in the interests of crowd safety and improved fan experience.
The principal change to the procedures will see a dedicated “catch zone” created at venues, in which Tui Catch-A-Million contestants will have to be located in order to qualify for the prize. Catches taken by patrons outside these zones will be deemed ineligible.
In another revision, unruly behaviour, or behaviour which risks injury (such as diving), will be deemed in breach of the promotion’s terms and conditions, therefore disqualifying contestants in the event of a successful catch.
Usual standards of behaviour applying to all venues will apply.
Communications at venues will be amplified, in terms of both ground announcements and on-location personnel, so that those patrons involved in the promotion are regularly reminded of their responsibilities and acceptable behaviour.
The only variation to these new measures will be at Eden Park and Westpac Stadium, where “catch zones” will not be incorporated. However, all other amendments surrounding behaviour to the competition rules will apply to these venues.
