8.    GAME ON

8.1      Game On is a flexible game format designed to enable games to proceed with meaningful outcomes despite teams being unable to meet normal team number and/or front row considerations. It is specifically designed to reduce the number of defaults, which means games can be played with reduced playing numbers with the results to count towards competition standings.

8.2      It applies to all junior club, secondary school and senior rugby competitions that the various competition committees choose to not designate as “Premier Grades”. 

8.3      All “Game On” provisions can be found in the New Zealand Rugby DOMESTIC SAFETY LAW VARIATIONS Appendix 1

8.2      The grades that “Game On” applies to can be found in Appendix “9” .
