Morning - Group stages

After lunch - Finals

This year’s competition will run a little differently. We’ll be hosting two separate tournaments:

The Cup – For teams who want a more serious and highly competitive experience.

The Shield – For teams who enjoy competition but prefer a more relaxed approach, with a win‑lose element that isn’t focused on winning at all costs.

Once individual sign-ups are complete, I’ll get in touch with each group to confirm your nominated team captain. Captains will then speak with their teams to decide which competition you would like to enter.

Further details on playing conditions and rules will be shared closer to the festival.
