Laws of the Game: Truro Indoor Sevens Tournament
1
The "Laws of the Game" will prevail with the following modifications for indoor play.
2
A match will be played with not more than seven players on a team and not less than four players on a team. Team lists of no more than eleven players must be submitted prior to the first match. A player can be registered and can play for one team only.
3
Each match will last 14 minutes of playing time: two 7-minute halves. Each match will have a half-time break of no more than 1 minute.
4
A team not prepared to play at the scheduled time will forfeit that match.
5
A player must not kick the ball above the level of the lights in the building. Any such kick will result in the team being penalized at the spot from where the kick occurred.
6
On kick-off, the ball must be kicked from the centerline and travel at least five meters. (All kicks are to be place kicks) If the ball is kicked through the in-goal area, it will be brought back to center for a new kick-off or a scrum.
7
The lineout will be formed from 3 meters to 8 meters from the touchline. There will be no less than two players in a lineout and the ball cannot be thrown past the 8 meter mark or it results in a penalty.
8
The only method of scoring is the try for which one point will be awarded. After a try has been scored, the match will be restarted by the referee with a kick at center. A tie score at the end of a match will be broken in sudden-death overtime.
9
The try line will be played as the dead ball line when the ball is kicked, preventing players from diving into and through the try zone.
10
Final interpretation of these or any rules will be the responsibility of the referee and the tournament organizing committee.
11
Any player sent off during a match is out for the remainder of the tournament.
