There are no restrictions on the number of substitutes allowed per match however squads are limited to a total of 14 players.

Each team is permitted to include a maximum of three overage players, who were born no more than three months before the cut off date (e.g. born 1st June or later in the same year whereby 1st September is the cut off point).

Every team will begin their tournament by playing in a round-robin group stage. These groups are drawn at random with conditions in place aiming to give each age group the best possible mix of countries from different continents. Once the group stage has been concluded, the tournament will filter into a three-tier (Cup, Plate, Bowl) knockout stage, determined by the finishing position in their group. This gives each team one guaranteed knockout stage match against a team who has performed similarly to themselves in the group stages. From this point onwards, matches will run to a conclusion to determine final placings - if a team loses a knockout match, they may still have further fixtures.

Matches will be approx 2x 12 minutes halves, with a 3 minute half time period. The full fixture schedule and confirmed format will be shared with lead coaches two weeks prior to the event.

Yes, all students will receive a participation medal at the end of the tournament.

Yes, there are trophies and medals available for all winning teams in each age group. There will also be prizes for the winners of the plate and bowl competitions where appropriate.

Unfortunately the event is only open to school teams. Individuals entries will not be accepted.

There are no entry requirements so long as it is a single school team (select squads are not permitted). Matches will naturally filter out into levels of ability on the final day (Cup/Plate/Bowl), meaning all teams will finish with competitive fixtures.
