The Format
The format is currently four pools of four. The group winners and second-placed teams progress to the Cup (places 1-4) and Plate (places 5-8) competition. The third and fourth-placed teams progress to the Bowl (places 9-12) and Shield (places 13-16) competitions. Seeding is determined by finishes in the last six competitions. Wins are three points, draws two, losses one, with no points being awarded for a no-show.
Festival The event is also noted for the large festival that takes place alongside the event. Which this year will include a waterside, a beer garden, food courts, skills area, face painting, cigar tents, concerts and a world class coaches’ symposium. Prizes, big and small, will be added attractions. This is not only a rugby event but a big, fun party. The idea is to lure people into the event for the festival and get them interested in rugby union. A festival is an event, usually staged by a local community, which centers on some unique aspect of that community. ...

Tickets The window of opportunity for ticket buyers is open for 60 days. After that time, tickets are sold on a first come, best-available basis. Blocks of tickets of 25 or more during this time are discounted 10%. A special "Festival Pass" will entitle holders to unlimited access to the Festival and Tournament for all three days.
To raise the fun-factor even more, and similar to Hong Kong Stadium's south stands, PETCO will host the "Fun Zone" in the right field bleachers. There is no seating plan for ticket holders but access to this area will be granted on the basis of best costumes, country displays of team support, "hot looks," and dancing ability. It will be a magnet for the young and the young-at-heart.
