About:

Crawley RFC would like to invite entrants for a seven-a-side rugby tournament aimed at the more mature and less athletic player.
(Old fat gits over thirty five years old and more than sixteen stone)
The competition is open to players of all ability and fitness levels but it will be handicapped in favour of the older and heavier teams.

Players weight will be penalised five points for every ½ stone (or part thereof) that they are under 16 stones. Player’s age will also be penalised by 2 points for every year that they are under 35 years of age. Players over 50 and 65 years of age will earn their side bonus points (5 per age band bring your pension book) as will players over 20 stone or in fancy dress

Proof of age is not required but if challenged may prove useful as the judges decision will be final. Teams will start each match with their allotted handicapped score already on the referee’s card in favour of the opposition.

In short: a team of seventy year old biffa’s would only need to be able to stand on the pitch for fourteen minutes in total and have the co-ordination and strength to change ends within a minute on the half time whistle to BEAT a side of 19 year old athletes.

Further penalties may be imposed to prevent outrageous miss-matches.
Normal seven-a-side rules will apply: 7 mins each way, convert your own tries with the addition of the compulsory jug of beer (bring a beer kitty) for each side to start the day, spillage of which will impose further penalties.
