Varsity Cup invites public to have their say in rule changes

The public is invited to make suggestions for possible new experimental rules for next year's Varsity Cup rugby tournament.

The Varsity Cup is known for its excitement, energy and innovation and the 2018 season will be no different.

After numerous requests and proposed ideas from the public, the Varsity Cup Board has welcomed the idea of the public suggesting new rules that could be implemented for the 2018 season.

“The idea came after our Varsity Cup social media accounts received many strong suggestions on how to make rugby more exciting, without changing the fundamental aspects of the game. Varsity Cup has always been at the forefront of innovation and change, making sure that the game remains fast and entertaining,” said Varsity Cup CEO, Duitser Bosman.

For this very reason, Varsity Cup has opened up its cyber doors and is encouraging the public to send through their rule suggestions. If the suggestion is solid enough, the Varsity Cup Board may implement it in 2018, should it get approved.

The public is invited to email their rule suggestions to rules@asem.tv by no later than 7 August 2017. Varsity Cup will also share a number of the best ideas on their website, for the public to weigh in on.

Varsity Cup is set to take centre stage early in 2018. Fixtures will be announced at a later stage.
