Sunshine 7s - Men’s Pools & Game Schedule
The games start at 1220 sharp.
Captains need to be there by 11.30 to turn in rosters & waivers. CAPTAINS MEETING at 1200 noon.
EVERYONE MUST SIGN THE WAIVER FORM! Teams need to have their rosters and waivers together (please put waivers in the order of the roster to make it easier to check).
MEN’S POOL:
20 sides entered. Everyone gets 3 games - the final 4 teams get 5 games.
There are 4 pools of 5 teams so everyone gets 2 games early.
The best record in each pool goes to the semis.
Everyone else gets a consolation match.
If 2 teams go 2-0 in a pool play, then those 2 sides will play against each other. The winner advances and the loser is done for the day (3 games).
If all teams go 1-1 in a pool play, the team to advance will be determined by try difference (scored tries minus tries allowed). If there’s still a tie it will then be determined on points difference (points for minus points against).
Pool matches tied after 2 x 7 minute periods go to sudden death.

Orlando RFC has recently welcomed a new member, Phil Wallis. He’s a New Zealander, who became a player/coach of international rules touch rugby after he retired from the 15-a-side game some years ago. In addition to having played in international touch rugby tournaments, he helped set up leagues in both Houston and Singapore. He has just moved to Orlando and wants to set up a weekly touch rugby session here.
Touch Rugby will be played each Sunday from 10.00 am – 12.00 pm at Blue Jacket Park on the edge of Baldwin Park. It begins this Sunday, June 15.
Many old boys have indicated that they would play touch as a way of getting regular cardio exercise and their “rugby fix”. Everyone is welcome so we encourage you to bring your families and girlfriends, etc., as well.
As Touch Rugby is the ideal way to introduce people to rugby - it is rugby’s pick up game that is played the world over – we will be marketing and recruiting for it as well. Without the contact, we hope more of the curious will be willing to give it a try. As the numbers grow we will continue to make it family fun based but may develop local age grade and/or co-ed leagues.
Phil will be happy to teach anyone the international touch rugby rules, and the techniques and skills unique to the touch game. He will also gladly help and train those of you who may wish to pursue playing at a higher level or in regional and international tournaments (Phil has helped set up one in the Cayman Islands around July 4 this year and is hoping that some of the Orlando players will want to combine with some from Houston at it).
See you on Sunday
