After 8 weeks of regional tournaments across Scotland, England and Wales we have our 2024 UK National Championship Line up.
This year will see the introduction of our first ever secondary girls only school finals alongside the annual event for both primary and secondary mixed schools.
Teams will battle through pool stages and playoffs to be crowned the UK National Champions 2024 at Loughborough University.
Primary Schools
Tournament Structure
Teams are split into two pools of 5, with all teams playing each other once. Teams will then be seeded 1 to 10. Seeds 1 to 4 will advance to the championship bracket, playing in the semi-finals and then final and 3rd place playoff. Seeds 5 to 10 will move to the consolation bracket, to play for positions 5 to 10.
Tie Breaker Rules
Score differential will be used in the event of any ties, followed by points scored and then points conceded. If there is still no tiebreaker, then a head-to-head record will determine the advancing team. If all tiebreakers do not determine an advancing team, then overtime rules will apply.
