Format
The teams are divided into pools of four teams, and a round-robin played within each pool. Points in rugby sevens pools are awarded on a different basis to most rugby tournaments: 3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss.
The top two teams in each pool advance to the Cup competition, and the four Cup quarterfinal losers drop into the bracket to play for the Plate. The bottom two teams in each pool go to the Bowl competition, and the four Bowl quarterfinal losers drop into the bracket to play for the Shield.
