Today's format
The competition for each age group will be split into two or more age leagues of four or five teams. Each team will play three or four games to decide league positions and the first two in each league will play final deciders for the Festival Cup and Plate competitions with 3rd and 4th place deciders for some age groups.

Pitch plan
NOTE: CHANGE SINCE THIS PLAN WAS MADE! U8 NOW BETWEEN U7 AND U9!

Please park considerately
Wimbledon RFC is situated at the heart of a residential community. Please refer to our parking policy, park where you are asked (and more importantly please respect anyone asking you NOT to park in certain places). On-site parking is shown on the above pitch plan. If you arrive late you may have to park off-site as shown on the parking policy.

The rules we'll be playing in the festival
u7-u11 New Rules of Play
u12 Old Rules but with no conversions (except for sudden-death conversions)

Scoring for the festival
Three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss.
In the event of a tie for a league place, places will be decided in the following order:

1. Most tries scored,
2. Least tries conceded,
3. Finally, the toss of a coin, except for U12 which will be decided by sudden-death conversions at centre 15m line as follows: if the first team's player converts and the second team's does not then the first player’s team wins. Each player can only kick once. If it's still level after the regular age-group number of players in a team have completed conversions, then toss of a coin.

Note: the scoring and rules were updated Friday 2 October at 9pm to correct a couple of inconsistencies
