WHAT IS ULTRA 7S RUGBY AND WHERE CAN I WATCH IT? ================================== The game itself is the same as the 7s rugby you will see at Rios 2016 Olympics. Basically just more players playing for a longer period of time (60 minutes of this - youtu.be/3NAJvYkanE8) with ongoing controlled basketball type substitution. DESCRIPTION ----------- ULTRA 7S RUGBY (facebook/media/set/?set=a.10151011692451254.414362.514726253&type=1) )is a modified version of rugby 7s using the established laws of the game but adding some North American flavour which will make for exiting, high scoring, hard hitting, fast paced first time viewer friendly entertainment. THE BASICS OF ULTRA SEVENS RUGBY ----------------------------- Each team will be comprised of up to 16 players. The game is played in four 15 minute quarters with a 10 minute half time break. There is also a 5 minute break between quarters. Active substitution like in basketball and ice hockey (the precise law modifications in regards to substitutions will be published in due course). WHY ULTRA SEVENS RUGBY ? ----------------------- ULTRA SEVENS adopts a format that will be highly recognizable to North American sports enthusiasts. Four quarters and a halftime interval provides a sustained stage to feature the incredible energy associated with Sevens Rugby. Sevens is a fast paced game with lots of opportunity for big hits and lots of scoring. It is a game that can be readily picked up by the novice rugby fan. Teams have 16 players rather than 12 players, allowing for tactical substitutions and the introduction of role/impact players in certain situations in a game. SPONSORS --------- 1.
