Bad Weather
In the event of bad weather forcing a postponement we will be using twitter and the Rosslyn Park website to post news of any cancellation as mobiles tend to go into meltdown with one number to call and hundreds of families en route. In the event of bad weather persisting this week please encourage your parents to check before setting off.

Festival Format
These festivals have been put on as whole age group events.
Matches are played in a round robin format. All matches are set to the maximum
number of minutes allowed per half within a festival under Regulation 15.
For the Under 7s to Under 9s the teams are expected to be mixed ability with no
differentiation.

Pitches will be laid out in accordance with the maximum size allowed under
Regulation15. Each pitch will be marked by cones that match the colour on the free
programme draw available on entry.

Festival Rules

  • Matches times will be as per the schedule. Half time is 2 minutes only.
  • Injury time will not usually be played, however time may be stopped for serious incidents.
  • Mouthguards are no longer a mandatory requirement for the RFU for all players from U9 upwards. However we still encourage referees to check that players have them before the start of their first game as most clubs continue to enforce the old rule.
  • IRB approved sports goggles have finally been allowed for use by the RFU.
  • Under the New Rules of Play only the referee is allowed on the pitch with the players. Coaches will remain OFF the pitch during all games, except to attend to an injury and at half time. This includes breaks in play, for example when conversions are taken.
  • Note on Game time – the U7 to U12 game times are the maximum allowed under the New Rules of Play for a festival.
  • If one team gets six tries ahead, the game will be deemed to be at an end. The match may continue to full time, if both coaches and the referee agree to continue.
  • Substitutions will only be made during a break in play with knowledge of the referee unless the referee has agreed to accept rolling substitutions at the start of the match. Substitutions are otherwise unrestricted.
