RUGBY

Rugby without a coach and no practices, just players chasing an old piece of leather around a paddock.

• No points tables
• Games on Logan Park and Opoho grounds
• No games during exams and holidays
• Golden Oldie scrums
• Teams play in divisions of equal ability
• Open, free flowing rugby (due to large number of players lying on the ground in oxygen debt)

THE ‘RULES’

• Participation and FUN are the aims of the game.
• Scores are taken for the teams’ interests only so are not officially recorded.
• The referee’s decision is final. Physical or verbal abuse to the referee and other players will result in player/team being removed from the competition.
• Alcohol is not permitted on any ground or facility. Intoxicated players are prohibited from playing.
• No games are played over the exam and holiday period.
• Defaults and No Shows (please see:  what happens if your team can’t play)

 

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR TEAM CAN’T PLAY?

DEFAULTS:
At least 24 hours notice is required when your team wants to default. When defaulting you are forfeiting    the game you have already paid for. Defaults made within 24 hours of the game are deemed a no show.

NO SHOWS:
If your team does not show for your game, you will be charged for an additional game as well as the ‘no show’ game. Two ‘no shows’ will result in your team being removed from the competition. ‘No shows’ are incredibly frustrating for everyone so please be considerate and call Unipol (479-5888) or e-mail unipol@otago.ac.nz as soon as you find out your team can’t play.
