nile.touch Week One Draw and Important Information

The first touch season for the year 2011 will begin this Friday. Due to a change in bus times we will be starting later than the last two seasons at 10:15am. We have also changed the structure of the competition and some player rules.

Competition Structure:
Games will be played 10 minutes for each half with a two minute break at halftime and in between games. We have done this as only two teams will play two games each week. One of these teams will play in the first round and third round and the other team will play in the third and fifth round. All teams will play two games during the round robin competition.

We will also have two finals day weekends in an effort to increase enthusiasm and competition between teams.
The dates are as follows:
March 18th - Week One
March 25th - Week Two
April 1st - Week Three
April 8th - Week Four
April 15th to the 29th - NCBIS School Holidays
May 6th - Finals Day One
May 13th - Finals Day Two
June 3rd - nile.touch One Day Touch Tournament at AIS.

If there are any inaccuracies please do not hesitate to contact us.

Players and Teams:
In the last season teams often fielded players who were not registered on their team. All teams will be required to field the team they have registered. If a team does not have enough players from their registered team the game must be forfeited which means the opposing team automatically. A game can still be played using players from other teams to fill in BUT it will just be a social game. If both teams do not have enough players they will share the points.

This means a player cannot play for two teams. They must chose who they are going to play for and ONLY fill-in in social games.

If players in your are not receiving your email it maybe because they do not write their email or are on your teams registration form. If you would like us to add their email please their information to nile.touch.

Registration Day this Friday


Registration Day
This Friday we will have the registration day for the new nile.touch season. We will start social games at 10:00am. Players and/teams will need to make their way to the registration desk to both register their team and pay their fees. Please see Scott Rouse if to register. The fee costs are 100LE per player. Please remember attendance is compulsory but you must make sure you either register your team or yourself as an individual. If you do not have a team we will make one for you. There maybe times when the desk is unattended as Scott maybe playing netball so please just wait for him to finish.

Games can finish around 1:30pm as that is when the Maadi bus will leave.

Maadi Bus
The buses will leave at 9:30am from Maadi Grand Mall. The bus will leave from NCBIS at 1:30pm. Please pay 5LE each way - if you are taking the bus both ways that is 10LE.

If you have any questions please email nile.touch@gmail.com.

Finals Day Results

Congratulations to the ANZACS for winning this season. They went through the season without a loss and took that form into final. This season saw a lot of improvement in the quality of touch rugby being played. It was extremely evident on finals day. What was also very encouraging was the young players and the confidence they now have in their own abilities. We are looking forward to next season - we will keep everyone updated.

1st - ANZACS, 2nd - Pumba, 3rd - Team One, 4th - The Opposition, 5th - Baby Crocs, 6th - Rehab Rebels, 7th - Timon
