SECTION 8: 12 TEAMS TOURNAMENT REGULATIONS

8.1 The 12 Teams competing will be grouped into two pools of five as follows:

Pool A Pool B
A1 = 1st seed B1 = 2nd seed
A2 B2
A3 B3
A4 B4
A5 B5
À6 Â6

8.2 Play on the first day of the tournament will consist of matches between teams in the same pool on a round robin basis. No extra time will be played in pool matches. Points will be awarded for these matches on the following basis:

a) Win = 3 points

b) Draw = 2 points

c) Loss = 1 point

d) No show = 0 points

If a Team wilfully refuses to play, or wilfully abandons a Match in progress, without the prior consent of the Match Referee, then, subject to confirmation by the Disputes Committees, that Team will be expelled from the Tournament.

If a Team has been expelled from the Tournament, for whatever reason, then

a) That Team shall be deemed to have been awarded no pool competition table points and to have scored no tries or points in the pool Matches; and

b) For the purposes of determining standings in the pool competition table, all Match results against such Team shall be deemed null and void. This means that all pool competition table points awarded in Matches against the expelled Team and tries and points scored or conceded in Matches against such Team will not be taken into account in determining standings in the pool competition table.

 

8.3 Determining Pool Table Standings

a) Competition points shall determine position in the pool competition table as set out in points above.

b) If at the conclusion of the pool stage two or more Teams are equal on competition points for any position in the pool, such position in the pool competition table will be determined on the result of matches between the equal Teams. The Team that won most of Matches shall be deemed to have finished higher in the pool competition table and ditto for the others.

c) If the Match between the two Teams equal on competition points at the end of the pool stage was a draw, then the following process shall be used to determine the position:

a. The margin of points scored for and against a Team in all pool Matches shall be considered. The Team with the highest positive margin of points shall be ranked higher in the pool competition table; if the tie remains unresolved then;

b. The margin of tries scored for and against a Team in all pool Matches shall be considered. The Team with the highest positive margin of tries shall be ranked higher in the pool competition table; if the tie remains unresolved then;

c. The Team that has scored the highest number of points in the pool Matches shall be ranked higher in the pool competition table; if the tie still remains unresolved then;

d. The Team that has scored the highest number of tries in the pool Matches shall be ranked higher in the pool competition table; if the tie still remains unresolved then;

e. The tie will be resolved by the toss of a coin between the Team Mangers concerned.



d) If at the end of the pool stage more than two Teams are tied on points then the following process shall be used to determine the position:

a. The margin of points scored for and against a Team in all pool Matches will be considered. The Team with the highest positive margin of points shall be ranked highest in the pool competition table: if the tie remains unresolved then;

b. The margin of tries scored for and against a Team in all pool Matches will be considered. The Team with the highest positive margin of tries shall be ranked higher in the pool competition table, if the tie remains unresolved then;

c. The Teams concerned shall be ranked by reference to the number of points scored in all pool Matches. The Team with the highest number of points scored in the pool Matches shall be ranked higher in the pool competition table: if the tie remains unresolved then;

d. The Teams concerned shall be ranked by reference to the number of tries scored in all pool Matches. The Team with the highest number of tries scored in the pool Matches shall be ranked higher in the pool competition table: if the tie remains unresolved then;

e. The tie will be resolved by the toss of a coin between the Team Managers concerned.
