List of Pre-Approved Tournaments (for Player Eligibility)
Note: Italicized language added to clarify rules regarding player eligibility. The below is the list of 'pre-approved tournaments' referenced in the Player Eligibility section of the rules and regulations.
The following is a list of tournaments that teams may use to get individual players eligible to compete with their clubs in the 2018 Club 7s National Championship if players are only able to compete in one of the two required qualifying tournaments.
Notably, these tournaments are NOT team qualifying events, and success at these events does not advance a team into the 2018 Club 7s National Championship event. Players must play for the club they are attempting to qualify with towards the 2018 Club 7s National Championship, and may not play for any other team at such events and have the event(s) count towards their individual minimum event participation requirement. All individual players who don't play in at least two qualifying tournaments but intend to play at the 2018 Club 7s National Championship must compete in at least 1 qualifying tournament unless explicitly given a waiver of eligibility from USA Rugby. To be clear, players must play in either a.) at least two qualifying tournaments or b.) at least one qualifying tournament and one pre-approved tournament.
All approved tournaments must follow proper check-in procedures and submit rosters for the entire division of competitive play being used as an approved event.
