There will be 4 Tournaments in this series. Only registered players are eligible for these events. It is meant for Rugby Clubs to offer more for registered players.
The 2012 dates will be September 22, September 29, October 13, and October 20th. October 6th is Thanksgiving and the NRU is not sponsoring a tournament on the Holiday weekend.
On each of the events, we will be offering divisions for U14 Boys, U15 Girls, U16 Boys, U18 Girls, and U18 Boys.
When events are held at parks that have 3 or more pitches, we will start with a maximum of 6 teams per division. With venues that only have access to 2 fields, 3 divisions will have 6 teams allowed, and 2 divisions will have only 4 teams.
When the tournament is hosted by a club that only has access to 2 playing surfaces, divisions will be filled on a first come first serve basis.
Tournament dates are only tentative right now. All clubs have agreed to host, the dates have to be confirmed.
On September 22, 2012 London has agreed to host our First Tournament. The St. Georges club has access to 4 pitches, so this will be considered a 3 pitch field and we'll start with a standard tournamnent of 5 divisions with 6 teams per division.
On September 29, 2012 Highland has agreed to host the Second event of the series. Fergus boasts a 2 field venue, so 2 of the 5 divisions will be limited to 4 teams.
On October 13, 2012 Brantford will host the Third Tournament. The George Jones Fields has 3 surfaces, so this will be considered a 3 pitch field and we'll start with a standard tournamnent of 5 divisions with 6 teams per division.
The final installment will take place on October 20, 2012 in Waterloo. Kinsmen Park will have access to 2 surfaces. So once again, 2 of the 5 divisions will be limited to 4 teams.
Schedules will be released on the Tuesday before the event day.
Teams entering any event must attend with a full squad. If there is a cancellation after the schedule has been made, that team will not be allowed in any of the following events. The team that cancels will not be allowed to pre-register for events in 2013.
