FAQ:

22 minute Games – continuous play, we can run 3 games in an hour and 10 minutes at a time, round robin format

Kick off and drop kicks allowed; No kick for touch or penalty kick for touch – touch and go

Running clock

We will have an on deck area next to the field for teams to stage and take the field when the preceding game completes to keep continuity

1. what happens if somebody kicks for touch during the match?  Anything
different with regard to the 22meter line and whether the ball bounces
in first before going out? >>> we will try to remind the players not to kick for touch, however, if it happens, then we can do a lineout

2. no half time right?  >>> no halftime, we will play 22 minute running periods and have the next two teams ready to play as soon as the horn blows.

3. free substitutions right? >>> yes, within reason as long as the subs do not disrupt the play to much

4. after a try, since there is no conversion, the team who was scored
upon can take it up and start the action again from midfield correct? >>> that is correct, fast play, no delay, the teams need to get moving quickly, so a team kicking can use their speed and readiness to try to kick to an undefended part of the field past 10 meters and try to gain control of the ball.

5. for Saturday the 1st, did you find out at time for start? >>> 9am start to 3pm finish

6. In the games, there will be no kicking for goal or conversions?  Are
drop kicks allowed for points during the action? >>> No kicking for goals conversion or touch; yes — drop kicks are valid

7. can we bring a couple of tents to set up “camp” for the day? >>> Yes, we have a staging area for tents; I will create a mockup for all coaches and teams to locate an area and camp for the day

8. will you be selling/serving food? >>> All players, coaches, and referees will eat for free (I sponsor the food); food for parents and supports and kids for sell — I will make sure the price is nominal – burger, dogs, chips, sodas, sport drinks, slim jims, etc; There are several food outlets on Rosemont Avenue too
