PITCHES
Layout
The tournament will take place across two pitches. Standing in front of the TD cabin, Pitch 1 is on the left and Pitch 2 is on the right.
Sizing
The pitches are similar to an indoor sized pitch. However, the endzones are smaller which makes things a little more interesting.
Spectating
Please keep the space between pitches clear of subs/spectators. Use the outside sidelines where possible or use the viewing gallery from above for non-playing spectators.
KIT
Second-hand Kit Sale
As always, there will be second-hand kit on sale from players at the event. You can purchase using cash/transfer to the respective owner.
Anyone can take part and sell their old gear by bringing it over to the TD cabin, logging the item with us and letting us know your price.
