PVP tournament of 2005

[Willow]

The 2005 Forum Sevens Possibles v Probables (PVP) tournament is open to all comers, new teams and current teams.

The PVP is effectively a series of trial matches which will begin in late October-early November and end prior to the kick off for season 2006.

The make up of the PVP will be decided after we know how many teams are participating.

The idea behind the PVP is to give teams an opportunity to show that they can field a full team and play at a level where they can eventually compete in the full Forum Sevens competition of 2006.

The PVP also helps newcomers gain a full understanding of the F7s Rules (click here for rules).

In addition, the PVP allows for new referees to gain experience prior to the 2006 season.

Win lose or draw, the PVP teams with the best organisation will be considered when the invitations for the 2006 Forum Sevens competition are issued, early in the New Year.

The aim is have a PVP tournament where each team gets a minimum of two matches.

Winning the PVP is not the main criteria for gaining admission into the 2006 competition, although it obviously helps.

So if you want to try your hand at playing the F7s and have a team together, let us know here in this thread and we'll get the ball rolling.

Cheers.

EDIT UPDATE:

Nominations for the PVP will close Saturday 22 October at midnight.

The draw for the 2005 PVP tournament will be announced Sunday, 23 October with the first matches scheduled to kick off the following weekend on Sunday 30th October.

The Warriors will be in it once again.

 

[Willow]

The Bluebags will be having a shot at the PVP Cup.

 

[paulquinn49]

The team formerly known as KKK will also be in it. We have 11 guys in but just lack a team name we all agree on.

 

[Mzilikazi]

How about the hippos - seeing as you seem to be aspiring to be like the Rhinos.

 

[Raider Azz]

How about the hippos - seeing as you seem to be aspiring to be like the Rhinos.

Bwhaha, yeah, we wanna be like the Rhinos :| - maybe we should name ourselves the Ramsey Street Hippos

 

[Misanthrope]

I'll throw Newcastle's hat into the ring, assuming you're allowing our name change

 

[Willow]

Its for all comers CWB, you'd be on the 'Probables' side with the Bluebags I'd say.

A good mix so far:

Warriors
Bluebags
Newcastle
The KKK Ramsey Street Hippos

Great start....

 

[paulquinn49]

Azzman dont get drawn into Mzilikazi's games. That's what he wants.

Willow while you think we arent genuine in wanting to be in the 2006 comp, I assure we are. For now we will go under the team name of "The team formerly known as KKK"

Thanks dood

Do teams need to enter it Willow if they are already in the main competition? Most of us at the Raiders feel that with a long season we could do with a break, we're in the process of bolstering our roster right now... I think if we entered the PvP it'd only be to give any rookies a run.

 

[Willow]

No obligations thickos. The PVP is primarily there to help in the growth of the F7s.

I know the Bluebags will be using it to give rookies a shot. I'll probably play off the bench and step back, if I can. lol

Thats not to devalue the PVP tournament - the experienced gained for newcomers is the reward.

I only need to know how many teams we'll have for the PVP so I can formulate a workable draw.

 

[thickos]

sweet as willow - 69 will let you know if we're gonna put a team in, but at this stage I'm thinking it'll be a no.

 

[Raider_69]

offically stating the Raiders will NOT be defending their PvP crown... good luck to all new teams and players

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

The Covell Brigade will be ENtering this year.

[The Piper]

The Central Coast Bears Forum 7s side will enter the Possibles vs Probables tournament.

 

[Willow]

Newcastle
The Krows
Covell Brigade
Central Coast Bears

 

[bartman]

I'll look into if the Rhinos can get some people together for this tournament... but with only one new/recent recruit and a small roster pulling up a bit sore from a lot of posting last season, my first guess is probably not? (But we will confirm once team members have been consulted.)

 

[bartman]

That's now confirmed. Rhinos won't be entering the coming PvP. Good luck to all old and new teams involved.

 

[Willow]

Actually, six teams is good. In fact, any even number of teams is good when making up the draw. lol

I'm sure by this weekend we'll know how many teams are in.

With that in mind, nominations for the PVP will close this Saturday 22 October at midnight.

The draw for the 2005 PVP tournament will be announced this Sunday, 23 October with the first matches scheduled to kick off the following weekend on Sunday 30th October.
