About:

For the 15th time Kiel Rugby would like to invite our old and new rugby friends to “Schietwetter Cup” 7s and are looking forward to welcome you in Kiel in 2005. Since the mid-eighties teams from all over Germany, Denmark, Holland, France and the United Kingdom have met in Kiel for good rugby and good fun.

This tournament will also now be held as the inaugural “Kiel Baltic Masters”. The most successful team from the Baltic Sea region competing in our tournament will be presented with a trophy and title for winning the “Kiel Baltic Masters”. If you are a university, club or pirate team, and you live within 350 km of the Baltic Sea coast, or in Norway, you are automatically competing for the “Kiel Baltic Masters”. This competition will be held within the “Schietwettercup”. This new cup will be launched to bring rugby players from our region closer together to test their skills in the game, and, of course, to have a good time.

After the great success during “Schietwetter Cup” 7s in 2000 to 2004 we will be keeping the ladies competition in the tournament.

Although we have now three fields at our disposal, we have set a limit for participating teams to 24 for the gentlemen and 8 for the ladies. The first teams to send in their application and check or bank draft for the entry fee will take part in the tournament. All others will be put on a waiting list in the order that we receive their entries.

Entry deadline is Friday, May 13th, 2005

For those of you that are new to Kiel, the Kieler Woche is the largest festival held in Northern Europe. For more than 100 years sailors and other athletes have come together to test their skills and join in into what could well be the world’s „longest“ party. There will be approximately 5 km of fair, with more than 1000 beer and food stands, along with several free live music stages.

Of course we don’t want to forget to pass on a some organisational information.
