The Tournament will be held at Overton Rugby Club, Odd Ball Lane, Laverstoke, Hants, RG28 7NU

First matches will kick off at 10:00am.

• Directions to the club can be found on our website at http://overtonrugby.com/about-us/find-us/ and below

• Car Parking will be £3 per car (including a programme) – extra progammes £50p. It will be helpful if you have change ready to avoid delaying those cars behind you in the queue. The programme will contain the details of all the clubs involved, the match schedules, the pitch layouts and the catering prices.

• Car parking space is more limited than usual this year. Please encourage lift-sharing to help ease pressure on parking. Our normal parking field is quite muddy at the moment. Parking marshals will ask 4x4s to park in the muddier areas, and will try to keep ‘normal’ cars to the more solid ground and the overflow area.

• ‘Watch Lane’ etiquette. Please respect our neighbours and drive slowly up the narrow lanes approaching the club. Please do NOT use their driveways as passing points. There will be a one-way system in operation on the way into and out of the car park – please observe this and follow signs, to help traffic flow.

• No departing cars between 9.00 and 10.15. Due to the narrow approach roads, we would ask people not to drop-and-run as departing cars will cause chaos. The parking marshals will prevent anyone leaving, except in an emergency, until 10.15 or so, once the main rush has abated.

• No Dogs! We are usually a dog-friendly club, but the constraints of limited space and numbers of people mean it will not be practical to allow dogs on the day. Please inform your members, on this point, to avoid any embarrassing situations on the day.

• Studs and Gum Shields. Overton has the policy of no blades, but we understand if other clubs do not, so as long as they are in good condition and not dangerous then there will be no objections. Gum Shields are mandatory for all ages from U9 and up. A small supply of studs and gum shields will be available for purchase. Please ensure that all players check their boots before the Tournament.

• A selection of Food and Drink will be available all day. Barbecues are NOT allowed in the Club grounds, due to Health and Safety regulations.

• Photography: We have not been able to arrange an event photographer for the tournament. Please make your own arrangements to take teams photos, if parents want them. As at most tournaments these days, many people will bring cameras and are free to photograph the action, within reason and without being obtrusive or inappropriate. If you do not want your team/kids to be photographed, please let the pitch marshal and the other team representatives in your age group area know this.

• Match schedule and timing. As we have a large number of games to get through, can coaches / parents ensure that their boys / girls are ready to go on the pitch at their designated times. Any delays may mean the team causing the delay could forfeit the game. There will be a Pitch Marshall at each age-group area – please identify a designated contact to the Marshall, so they know where to find your teams and referees.

• Score recording. Scores will be tallied at pitch side by an Overton volunteer (you are welcome to tally scores as well!) The score tallyer will confirm scores with coaches and referee at half time (if feasible) and at full time. The Pitch Marshal will keep a note of scores locally, then send them to the scoring tent, where whiteboards with scores and league tables will be maintained. No disputes will be entered into after the score has been agreed at full time and lodged with the pitch marshal

• Litter: All teams will be provided with a bin bag at registration. Please encourage your members to deposit ALL of their rubbish into the bags and place in a wheelie bin or return them to the control tent at the end please. Extra bags if required will be available from the control tent.

• Bad weather/cancellation: In the event of adverse weather conditions in the run-up to the tournament, regular updates will be provided to the nominated contacts at each club – and decisions will be made as early as is feasible, depending on conditions.

• Lost property will be channelled to the scoring tent - please check there if items are not at the pitch area.
