🔢 How many matches will each team play?
The exact number of matches will depend on the final number of teams entered into the festival.
We will ensure that every team plays as many games as possible across the day. Based on expected entries, teams can anticipate playing approximately 5/6 matches.
🧑⚖️ Who referees the matches?
Each team is required to provide one suitable and experienced individual who is available to referee matches during the festival.
Referees will officiate games within their allocated group/zone. However, they will not referee matches involving their own team or club.
This approach helps ensure fair play, shared responsibility and a smooth-running schedule across all pitches.
👥 How do groups/zones work?
Each team will be allocated to a zone, which consists of two or three adjacent pitches. Find your team on Tournify through the Fixtures page to find your zone.
This allows teams to remain in the same area throughout the festival, helping to minimise movement and keep the schedule running smoothly.
Zone locations can be viewed on the site plan.
In order to maximise the number of games each team plays it may be necessary to play the occasional match in a separate zone - this will be clearly displayed in the Fixtures list on Tournify.
📊 Where can I see fixtures and pitch allocations?
All fixtures and groups are available on Tournify or through the link on the Fixtures page. You acn also download the Tournify App and search for Hoylake Mini 7s Rugby Festival. Here you will be able to locate your team and see their schedule and pitch number.
These are live and will update automatically if changes are made on the day.
