SCORINATION, RP & CUTOFFS
As described in the OOC thread, I will be using the rugby union sevens function of xkoranate 0.3.3. Ranks from the past AVBF #4, Rugby World Cup 4, Watson’s Bay, Savojar tournaments are being used, based off this NSRB 7’s ranking chart. Aside from previous earned rank, RP will be your other main form of gaining skill points for your team. Quality over quantity is preferred, as always. Posting a roster will be rewarded with points as well.
Cutoffs will be between 22:30-00:00 EST (UTC-4), although I will alert you all via the OOC thread should there be a change. PLEASE keep aware of the OOC schedule as there are some days that will be skipped for scorination, and other days (weekends) that will be scored in a row.
The standard rugby sevens points system will be in effect for this tournament where: 3 points are awarded for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss, and 0 for a forfeit.
Tiebreakers will be (in order): 1. Head-to-head result between the tied teams.
2. Difference in points scored and allowed during pool play.
3. Points scored during pool play.
4. Coin toss (higher RP points).
