The Tamworth Touch Association became the latest sport to be affected by the conditions, announcing on Monday afternoon no games would be played that night.
The decision to cancel came after The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment put out a warning stating Tamworth's air quality peaked at 357.

The association took to social media to announce its decision.
"Due to the hazardous air quality warnings, there will be no touch games today, Monday, November 18," the post read.
"All nippers, primary and secondary games have been cancelled.
"Please stay safe."
The Tamworth Oztag Association followed suit, also taking to social media to announce the cancellation of Monday's games.
"Due to a number of teams playing short and a few referees having to pull out due to high risk health warnings, we have no choice but to make a decision for the well being of all our Oztaggers to reschedule this round," the post read.
