Team Size

Up to 14 Players per team permitted.

Rules

All playing rules of the TFA will be played unless otherwise stated.
For this championship, teams will be SIX players per side.

Timing

Games will be centrally timed.

Duration

All games played in the Round Robin Series will be of 20 minutes turnaround format with no half time break. Turnaround is when teams change ends after each touchdown. Finals will extend to 20 minutes turnaround.
If after 5 minutes one of the teams has not taken the field, a forfeit will be awarded to the opposition. A five (5) Nil (0) score line will be awarded to the non-offending team. The game still needs to be played if a forfeit has been claimed.

Semi Finals

The top two teams in each pool will advance to the semi-finals with the first team from group A playing the second team from group B and the top team from group B playing the second team from group A.
However, if any teams finish level on competition points at the conclusion of the Round Robin Series, `For and Against’ will determine the outcome. For and Against is calculated by touch downs `scored against’ from touchdowns `scored for’. The team with the better result will receive the higher position. If both teams are equal on for and against the winner of the match between the two sides will proceed to the semis. If that game was a draw then a toss of the coin will be used.
In the case of pools where not ALL sides have the bye or not all sides play the same number of games then if the team that plays the most games ties for 2nd, the team to progress will be the winner of the round games between these 2 teams. If this result was a draw then ‘for and against’ percentages will be used. If these are still equal there will be a toss of a coin.

Draw

Draws in the Round Robin series will be awarded two points (see competition points).

Competition Points

Points for the Round Robin series will be:-
Three Points Win
Three Points Bye
Two Points Draw
One Point Loss
No Points Forfeit

Drop off Procedure

In the event of a drawn game in which a result is required (semis and finals), a Drop Off situation will be utilised to decide a winner.

1. Should a Winner be required in drawn matches, the following Drop-Off procedure is used to determine a Winner. 

2. Each Team will reduce their on-field Team to four (4) players and within 60 seconds take up a position to restart play from the Halfway Line, defending the same end of the field as at the End of Play. 

3. The Drop-Off commences with a Tap from the centre of the Halfway Line by the Team that did not commence the match with Possession. 

4. The Drop-Off will commence with a two (2) minute period of extra time. 

5. Should a Team be leading at the expiration of the two (2) minute period of extra time then that Team will be declared the Winner and Match complete. 24.1.5 Should neither Team be leading at the expiration of two (2) minutes, a signal is given and the match will pause at the next Touch or Dead Ball. Each Team will then remove another player from the Field of Play. 

6. The Match will recommence immediately after the players have left the field at the same place where it paused (i.e. the Team retains Possession at the designated number of Touches, or at Change of Possession due to some Infringement or the sixth Touch) and the Match will continue until a Try is scored. 

7. There is no time off during the Drop-Off and the clock does not stop at the two (2) minute interval. 

8 Substitution during the Drop-Off is permitted in accordance with normal Interchange Rules.  

Players Note

1. During the original game, if a player has been sent from the field of play for the remainder of the game, that player cannot participate in the drop off.
2. A team that had a player (or players) dismissed from the field for the remainder of the game will commence the Drop Off with the same number of players they finished the game with. At the drop off time, each team will reduce their playing strength as per the rules, thus ensuring the one team will have player advantage as per in the game. Once a team reaches only three players, no further drop off of players will occur.
3. Injured players can be replaced at any time.
4. Substitutions can be made at any time as per normal playing rules.
5. Any player sent off the field for misconduct will incur and automatic 1 match suspension. No indecent language or abuse will be tolerated at this tournament by referees or officials.
