Rugby matches will be played exclusively on Saturday. The pool and tournament format will be determined by the number of registered teams. Ideally, each game will be 30-40 minutes long, and teams will play at least three matches throughout the day.
Yes, this event is sanctioned by USA Rugby, so every player will need to be registered/CIPPed. International players and teams will require an approved waiver from USA Rugby and their home Union. We will provide details for an event registration option.
Austin is a destination city with countless hotel and short-term rental options. We recommend a hotel base in downtown Austin but can work with your club to find the best option in your price range.
While size shouldn't necessarily matter, we recommend a roster of 25-30 players to ensure everyone gets sufficient, but not excessive, playing time.
Of course! If your traveling group exceeds the expected size of ~30 players due to non-players, just let us know. This will help us plan the right social activities for the right size group.
Autum in Austin offers delightful weather. Expect comfortable daily highs in the mid-70s to low 80s and cool nights in the upper 50s to low 60s. You can look forward to plenty of sunshine and moderate humidity.
