NTCA COMPETITION RULES

The NTCA operates under the broad governance of the Australian Calisthenics Federation (ACF), using the ACF’s competition rules, including the flexible rules which have been adjusted to reflect the unique nature of calisthenics and life in the NT. The flexible rules have been deemed appropriate by a representative sub-committee of the Northern Territory Calisthenics community, in consultation with all clubs and their representatives.
