Competition By-Laws:
These Competition By-Laws are to be read in conjunction with the IRB Laws of the game and
the NZRU Domestic Safety Law Variations (DSLVs).
1. Competition Formats
Competitions formats are set by the Manawatu Secondary Schools Rugby Board (MSSRB)
and Manawatu Rugby Union (MRU). MSSRB and MRU reserve the right to amend formats
throughout the course of the season in the best interests of the competitions where
necessary.
In competition grades points are allocated as follows: Win=4, Draw=2, Loss=0, Loss by 7 or
less points=1.
2. Classification of players
Players must play in the correct grade for their team which corresponds to their age on 1 st
January 2011. Players may only play down one grade following successful application for
dispensation to the MRU. Players may take the field for a team higher than the age grade
team they are classified for.
During the course of the season players may move between grades as long as they meet the
age grade criteria. During play-offs, a player may only play for the lower graded team if he or
she has played a minimum of 5 games for that team during the season.
3. Player Eligibility
Player eligibility for Secondary School rugby teams is outlined in the NZ Secondary Schools
Sports Council rules: http://www.nzsssc.org.nz/regulations_and_eligibility_criteria
4. Registration of Coaches and Players
Each Secondary School Player must be registered prior to taking the field in a game. This
entails filling out a ‘Junior Player Registration Form’ and this form being submitted to the MRU
no later than the Friday following the game.
Any Coach that fulfils and active coaching role with a team during practice or on game day
must have attended a RugbySmart session for 2011 where that Coach will have completed a
‘Coach Registration Form’. A team cannot play on game day without a registered coach
present.
5. Team Cards
A team card must be completed for each team participating in fixtures in all grades. It must be
completed fully with the correct spelling of player’s surnames and initials. Cards are to be
submitted to the referee pre-match.

6. Referees
Where a Referee is appointed by the Manawatu Rugby Referee’s Association, this will be
indicated on the weekly draw on the Manawatu Rugby Website.
Where a referee is not appointed, teams should consult pre-game and appoint the most
appropriate person available to take control of the game. If the appointed person is not an
associate or fully qualified referee, the game must take place with uncontested scrums.
7. Serious Injuries & Concussion
Where a player requires hospital treatment as the result of an injury sustained in practice or in
a game, the Coach is required to submit a ‘NZRU Serious Injury Form’ to the MRU within
48hrs of the game or practice.
Any player suspected of suffering from concussion must go to hospital or a doctor
immediately, and cannot resume training or playing rugby until cleared to do so by a doctor.
8. Disciplinary
Where a player is temporarily ordered off (yellow card) or ordered off (red card), the Referee
must complete the relevant ‘Temporary Ordering Off Report’ or ‘Ordering Off Report’ and
submit this to the Manawatu Rugby Union within 48hrs of the game.
A citing complaint (where the Referee did not detect the foul play) may be made against a
player in writing via a Secondary School Rugby Administrator, and submitted to the MRU
within 48hrs of the game.
MRU has a disciplinary process for dealing with foul play or misconduct by Secondary School
Players as outlined in the NZRU Disciplinary Rules known as ‘The Black Book’.
9. Complaints
When an individual, team or club wishes to make a complaint against another individual, team
or club, this must be done in writing via a Secondary School rugby Administrator, and
submitted to the MRU within 72hrs of the game.
MRU has a process for dealing with complaints in association with the MSSRB.
10. Defaults
A team unable to commence it’s fixture with the required playing numbers 10 minutes after
the scheduled kick-off time then defaults the game to the opposition. Coaches should then
make arrangements to play a friendly fixture with the available players.
In competition grades, a default win is 4 points to the non-offending team and a 2 point
deduction for the offending team.

Teams should make every effort to decide at their last training session of the week if they can
fulfil their Saturday rugby fixture, and if not, advice the opposition and MRU no later than
midday Friday.
11. Ranking of teams
At the conclusion of a round, the final ranking of each team will be determined by the number
of points gained by that team in that round provided that:
a. Where two teams have the same number of points, the winner of the game between
those two teams shall be deemed to have the higher ranking
b. Where two teams have the same number of points and the match between the two
resulted in a draw, or there was no match between the two, or there were two matches
or more between the two, and in any such case, the team with the highest points
differential will be deemed to have the higher ranking.
c. Where more than two teams finish on equal points then the teams shall be ranked on the
basis of points differential.
d. Where points differential does not separate teams, points for, then points against, then the
toss of a coin will be utilized in that order to determine ranking.
12. Play-off games
Should a play-off game, semi-final or final game finish normal time with the scores tied, the
following process will be determined to find the winner (no extra time is to be played in
Secondary School Rugby):
a. The team that scores the most tries in the match shall be declared the winner
b. Where the same number of tries are scored, the team that scored the first try shall be
declared the winner.
c. Where no tries were scored, the team that scored the first points of the game is
declared the winner.
13. Penalties for non-compliance with Competition By-Laws
Where an individual, team or club fails to comply with the above By-Laws, and the MSSRB
and MRU decide that a penalty is appropriate, they may elect to apply one or more of the
following penalties:
Suspension of an individual or team
Points deduction (in competition games)
Forfeiture of the match (in competition games)
.
