Bonus time for rugby in England
BONUS POINTS will be introduced across all adult league and cup rugby in England this season (2010-11).
Terry Burwell, RFU Tournaments and Competitions Director, said: “The bonus point system has been effective in the Aviva Premiership, RFU Championship and National Leagues. We consulted with clubs and together we believe that it will also work at a lower level to increase competitiveness.”
The amendment is one of a number to RFU Regulation 13 – Adult Competitions, which include limiting clubs to 100 registered adult players and the reduction of the floodlight requirement at level 6 and below from 200 to 100 lux.
And to ensure clarity and accessibility, all RFU Regulations now have a standard format of a number and title.
Peter Baines, Chairman of the RFU Governance Committee, said: “It is hugely important that we have user friendly regulations which can be easily accessed. The new Rules and Regulations section covers all RFU Rules, Regulations and Policy together with useful links and menus to help educate and inform people about all aspects of our sport.”
