Deciding Wisconsin's #3 Seed

Last season ended in a three way tie for 3rd place between Northshore, Brookfield and Kettle Moraine, with all three teams having a 4 and 3 record. The tie occurred because Brookfield defeated KM 29-10; Norhshore defeated Brookfield 30-7; and KM defeated Northshore 15-14.

The application of the experiminatal point system would have ranked Northrhore 3rd, Brookfield 4th, and KM 5th, but the rule was not in place at the start of the season. The pont system awards a team 4 ponits for a win; 2 points for a tie, and 1 bonus point for scoring 4 or more trys in a match; and 1 bonus point for losing by less than 7 points.

In the spirit of sportsmanship and competition, the coaches agreed to a one day, round-robin tournament this spring to see who will be Wisconsin's #3 seed. The games will be held at Nagawaukee Park, April 22, starting at 11:00 a.m. The winning team will emerge with bragging rights and the will represent Wisconsin in the open division of the Midwest tournament.

It is going to be an exciting day of rugby at Nagawaukee.
