Greyhounds Australasia has issued the below statement in relation to their decision to defer the introduction of the new National Racing Rules:

The adoption of a new suite of national greyhound racing rules is a significant step forward for the industry and a step that GA and the controlling bodies must execute with absolute confidence. Greyhound racing across Australasia is run across multiple IT systems. While the individual systems are ready to adopt the new rules, the GA Directors have sought further assurance regarding the integration of those systems and the ability of those systems to seamlessly work together with the new rules. We need to ensure the integrity of the industry is maintained and as such the GA Directors wish to advise that in order that further final testing on the technical integration can be undertaken, the adoption of the new national rules will be deferred until May 1, 2022.
