The play is to be kept secret until it is achieved, so make a note of your selection and declare it to your opponent once achieved.

C’mon Ref - Have one of your players sent off for fouling. Your player must still be sent off after any Bribes or Argue the Call rolls.

Go Long - Make a successful accurate pass. The intended target must catch an accurate pass, not a bouncing ball. This does not include Throw team-mate.

I never liked them anyway - Suffer one or more Casualties during the game. This is achieved if the player is placed in the Casualty box and remains there until the end of the game. Players sent-off do not count.

Surf’s up baby - Have one of your players pushed off the field (aka Surfed) on your opponent's turn.

Get on with it - Successfully complete four or more Rush’s in one of your team turns during the game.

Hi

I'm interested but if I can make it will be a late entry - this isn't a criticism but your round timings seem a bit long, in my experience most sevens matches are about half an hour - 45 minutes if you are slow. It feels like I might end up with upwards of an hour between games. If everyone is done an hour early rather than everyone hanging about would you start rounds early or would you add in extra rounds?

A good point - The round times were agreed with the venue who were keen on having plenty of time for each game. We are hoping to attract coaches with a range of experience levels, so it was decided some extra time would help the newer coaches.

But that said I fully expect that we will be able to start some rounds early as the day goes on. If we find ourselves well ahead of time, a 5th round would be an option. However I expect that some coaches would probably welcome an early finish but we will see how the day goes.

Hope to see you there :)
