The TRU is excited to announce the TOLA 7s Tournaments for 2019! The series starts this weekend with Lonestar 7s in Dallas and concludes in Shreveport with Horseshoe 7s in early August.
Do note that in order to encourage increased participation and raise the level of competition within the Red River and TOLA competitions we will be utilizing the modified Hong Kong Style format again this year. Specifically this will be used for the TOLA/RRRC qualifiers this season.
This format will combine RRRC qualifier and TOLA teams during pool play. Teams will declare a week in advance of the tournament date whether they are seeking to earn TOLA or RRRC points.
Note: If a club enters two teams in the 2rd or 3rd RRRC Qualifiers, one TOLA team and one RRRC team, the TOLA and RRRC rosters are locked. Players may not cross-over between competitions / teams in the same tournament.
