I. GAMES

Halves are 25 minutes with a 5 minute halftime on both days. Each team is guaranteed two matches. In the event of a forfeiture, we cannot guarantee a second match. We will do our best to get a second match for those teams.

In the event of a severe weather complication, PRFC will not be held liable for maintaining match schedules. An act of God is an occurrence that may or may not forfeit the tournament schedule, and PRFC shall not be held responsible. In the event of a front row substitution, the sub MUST be a qualified front row sub.
There will be 5 substitutions allowed per team per match.

In the event that a team drops out of the tournament less than 72 hours before the first kick-off, there will be no refunds given. If a team does not show up, causing a forfeiture, that team will be inelligible to play the following year.
