OOC: Just like previous things. Anybody can enter as many clubs as they wish (Probably around 3-4, depending on your nation's population you could have more or less) and these clubs would have qualified by typically winning their own national league/tournament.
General rules in the group stage:
1. There will be 6 matches per pool. Each team will play with each other.
2. Each win will be awarded 3 points and each draw will be awarded 1.
3. The club with the most points from each pool will proceed to the knockout phase.
I know I may be butchering the rugby setup with this, but I know my football (soccer) rules in cups and championships better than the rugby ones.
So for the matches themselves:
Coin Flip to decide which team starts:
Team that wins coin flip enters Stage 1 with ball.
1. Run with ball:
Roll die.
1-2 opposition gains the ball (and enters Stage 1 with ball)
3-4 enter scrum
5-6 roll for try
2. If SCRUM is entered:
Roll die
1-3 opposition gains the ball
4-6 ball is maintained return to step 1.
3 [a]. If team achieves roll for TRY:
Roll die.
1-2 fail
3-6 TRY achieved +4 points
3 . NOTE: if a 2 roll is achieved re-roll.
5-6 becomes a ''Drop Goal'' +1 points.
4. If a TRY is achieved:
roll 1 die for conversion.
1-3 fail
4-6 conversion achieved +2 points
Team that scored TRY or drop kick, opposition enters phase 1 with ball.
10 total runs are made per ''match''.
