FESTIVAL FORMAT

Teams will be divided in to groups of between 5 to 12 teams. Each team will play between 4 & 8 games on both the Saturday & Sunday. Each team will then play every team in their group on a round robin basis during the weekend. Once the round robin is complete, teams depending on their final league position will then progress in to the knockout stages of the cup and plate (Plate section only available if there are 10 teams or more in a section). Please note this is a guideline.

The festival will be operated under the guidance of a SCI Sports festival director.
