The
Hong Kong Rugby Sevens is widely regarded as one of, if not, the most
exciting Rugby Sevens event in the world. In 2008 the Hong Kong Rugby
Sevens will take place between 28 March 2008 and 30 March 2008. The
total prize money for the event is US$ 150,000 with the Cup Champions
winning US$ 100,000, the Cup Runners Up US$ 25,000 and each
Semi-Finalist getting US$ 12,500 each. There are also a very valuable 30
points up for grabs for the team which wins the Cup Final.
The 24 participating teams have been drawn into
six pools of four teams
each. On the first day, starting the Friday afternoon there will be a total of 12 games with each team playing one game in their pool. On Saturday, each team will play another two games to complete the pool competition. The group winners and the two second placed teams with the best records, progress to the Cup Competition. The four remaining second placed teams and the four, third-placed teams with the best records progress to the Plate Competition. The remaining eight teams progress to the Bowl Competition. Sunday, is the day when despite many fans nursing serious hangovers, the real excitement starts, as it is today when the teams play in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals of each of the Bowl, Plate and Cup competitions.
In Rugby Sevens, each game is seven minutes each way with two-minute intervals
except for the Cup Final which is 10 minutes each way.
