The Bay of Plenty Rugby Secondary Schools Handbook has been re-introduced at the request of the stakeholders to make it simple for those with an interest in Secondary Schools Rugby to locate the relevant information that applies to them.
It follows the same format and content order as the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union Competition Rules and standardises the way in which all of the competitions within the Bay of Plenty rugby region are administered. It also creates a one stop shop for all of those involved with either participating or administering those competitions.
World Rugby provides the laws by which the game is played.
New Zealand Rugby provides the national framework for which the game is played, including the provision of the domestic safety law variations to the law book, the policies that guide the age for which participants can play age grade rugby, the dispensations policy and the disciplinary process.
Bay of Plenty Rugby provides the framework on how the law book and domestic safety law variations are implemented as well as the mechanisms for matters such as participant eligibility, registration, dispensations, venue and event management, match day protocols, disciplinary, appeals, competitions rules.
The various competition committees design the competition formats, dispensation criteria, points tables, semi-finals and finals determination.
