SFU Highland Summer 7’s Rugby Tournament

It’s been 27 years since we began our wee little tournament on the hill and we would like you to join us to usher in the next 27 years. As always the Highland Summer 7's Tournament will provide highly competitive rugby and an excellent social venue.

This year the tournament will be held on July 4, 2009.

In anticipation of the always-hot sun, we will again be having a BBQ and cold beverage garden. As usual, great SFU Rugby Tees will be available!

Based on the poll we conducted last month there will be three divisions:

Men's Premier Division	$250 per team
Women’s Division	$200 per team
Men's Social Division	$200 per team

Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers in all divisions. The teams will be divided into pools, with the top two teams from each pool advancing to play off in a single knock-out elimination round. Each team is guaranteed a minimum of three games.

As in past years, we expect each of the divisions to fill up quickly, therefore, in order to avoid disappointment, please register your team as soon as possible. PREMIER TEAMS MUST SUBMIT A ROSTER OF PLAYERS PLAYING IN THE TOURNAMENT.

The registration deadline is June 20th 2009.
