I’m reading the GoGames site now and they’ve definitely watered it down.
U12 age grade is organised on a league and blitz basis. No knockout rounds are permitted as part of the U12 league programme. In U12 County ran leagues, counties are permitted to host concluding finals days. Where trophy presentations are permitted, there must be no scores published, just win or loss.
This contradicts what they were saying 3 years ago
So far in both codes we have played a round robin competition that has acted as a grading league for the next competition…i.e. all the top teams go into a comp together, 2nd place teams etc etc…goes to another round robin format now but we have had neutral refs assigned etc and had to put in team sheets
