LAWS OF THE TOURNAMENT
SAFETY IN THE SAND
Welcome to Hammerhead Rugby Club’s Beerfoot 7’s on the Beach Tournament.
To ensure maximum safety these rules supersede the standard rugby seven 7’s rules.
- No boots allowed. Players can be barefoot or wear soft-soled shoes such as Aqua socks or tennis shoes.
- Teams are allowed unlimited substitutions, but only at the half or after a score.
- Players who use sand as an offensive or defensive weapon will be immediately kicked off the field, and will not play again for the duration of the tournament
- Kicks to restart after a score can be either a drop kick or a place kick (from the sand, not a tee). Kicking team’s option.
- The try zone will be broken into 5 boxes. If you score a try in box C, your team will be awarded 3 points, if you score in box B, its 4 points and in box A, a total of 5 points will be awarded. Please see diagram below for clarification.
