Due to unforeseen circumstance there will not be a BBQ tomorrow. The BBQ organisers send their apologies.

Late Bus at 10:00am NOT 10:30am This Friday

We have decided to change the late bus time to 10:00am so teams who play at 10:45am will be able to sleep in and get there on time.

So the bus will leave at 10:00am so it will get to NCBIS before 10:45am. And it will will leave once the netballers have finished their games.

The cost is exactly the same as the other bus so 5LE each way.

Buses - There are now TWO

Bus
IMPORTANT: There are now two buses operating.


THE FIRST BUS: will leave from MGM at the roundabout end at 8:00am. CES has kindly offered to provide this bus for the third year, so look for the CES bus. It will leave NCBIS around 1:30pm.


THE SECOND  BUS: In addition to this bus MES, Modern English School, has offered another bus. This bus will have a 10:30am MGM pick up and once arriving at NCBIS, around 11ish, picking up those players and returning them back to MGM/Maadi? This will allow the netballers and touch players who have finished really to not have to wait around.


The cost is 5LE one way or 10LE return.

Rules

Touch Rugby Rules
There are two attachments for the rules, one with 20 basic rules and the other with the rules we abide by. There is also a youtube video that explains some of the basic rules. The link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pjT6UAI5g8


The referees will be focusing on three basic things:
1. Defenders MUST make their five metres on defence.
2. The ball is played CORECTLY by the offensive team.
3. The ball is played ON THE MARK where they were touched.


nile.touch Rules
All teams will play two games each Friday. Each game will be 12 minutes each way with 2 and a half minutes breaks in between. There will be a two double elimination finals days to create more interest from all teams. Team points allocated with 3 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and 1 for a lose.


Teams will be required to only field registered players on their team. If a team does not have enough registered players for their team they must forfeit the game and points. A game can still be played though but it will be social. If both teams are in the same situation the game will be considered a draw.
