Dear Captain,
Thank you for taking part in the Higgs LLP Charity Football Tournament. The tournament continues to grow and has over the years raised tens of thousands of pounds for various charities. This year we are delighted to be supporting The Mary Stevens Hospice along with a number of smaller local charities. Mary Stevens Hospice is an incredible facility providing patients with incurable or life limiting illnesses the opportunity to enjoy their lives to the fullest, however long that may be. They are reliant upon charitable donations to be able to provide the care that they do and I am sure that you will agree that this is a very worthy cause. On the following page are details of how to enter a raffle to win an iPad mini which has kindly been donated by Quiss, the winner of which will be announced on the day. An amazing 72 teams are taking part this year. Each team will play at least 5 matches, 48 teams will advance to further rounds and 24 teams will be eliminated after the group stage. The top two teams in each group will progress to the “Knockout Group of 3” stage, third and fourth teams in each group will progress to the “Plate Group of 3” stage. The Knockout and Plate Group of 3 consists of 8 groups of three teams. The top team in each Group of 3 stage will progress to the Knockout and Plate Quarter Finals respectively. Matches will last 8 minutes and there will be no half time. Teams will be awarded 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. Should any match in the Knockout and Plate stages remain level at full time the match will be settled by a penalty shoot out. Should the final remain a draw at full time, extra time of 5 minutes will be played followed by a penalty shootout if the scores remain level. A BBQ will be provided later in the afternoon and a cash bar will be available throughout the day for snacks and refreshments. Any supporters who wish to attend are more than welcome. Included in this pack are the following: -
a timetable for the day; directions to the venue; tournament rules; and
