Geordie Bowl XV will be played as two linked competitions across the weekend.

Full-weekend coaches must use the same team and roster for both days. Coaches may not change race, or switch rosters between Day One and Day Two.

Geordie Bowl XV — Premiership

All full-weekend coaches will play three games on Saturday. Round 1 pairings will be random, with Rounds 2 and 3 paired using Swiss-style pairings.

After Day One, the top 12 coaches will separate from the main field and continue into the Premiership on Sunday, playing three further Swiss-style rounds to compete for the Geordie Bowl XV — Premiership title.

Geordie Bowl XV — Sunday Scrap

The Sunday Scrap will take place on Sunday only.

Coaches who do not qualify for the Premiership will move into the Sunday Scrap and will carry their Day One points with them. Sunday-only entrants will also join the Sunday Scrap, subject to ticket availability and capacity, and will start on 0 points.

The Sunday Scrap will be played over three Swiss-style rounds.

Scoring

Day One: Win 2   / Draw 1   / Loss 0
Day Two: Win 20 / Draw 10 / Loss 0

Day Two results will decide the final standings within each section. Day One points still matter where coaches are tied on their Day Two record.

Tie Breakers

If coaches are tied on points, standings will be decided using the following tie breakers, in order:

1. Roster submitted on time

2. Strength of Schedule
