The NTS is designed to bring together Touch events into a co-ordinated Series, allowing teams to test themselves against the best in the country across events throughout the summer.
The NTS aims to provide a bridge between local leagues and international Touch, exposing players and referees to a higher level of competition, thus strengthening the game in England.
There will be six events in the 2010 NTS. These will be run by affiliated England Touch members - Bath, Cambridge, London, Manchester, Nottingham, and Thames Valley.
As well as an event winner, each team will be awarded points for their final placing at any one NTS event. These points are tallied in a League table which will result in an overall NTS winner at the end of the series, rewarding teams for attending as many events as possible, not necessarily winning every one. A team can enter as many NTS events as they like and will not be forced to play in all six events.
The NTS will finish with the ‘Super 8s’ event to be hosted by Cambridge on 7th August. The top 8 sides in the NTS table, after the previous five rounds, will be invited to compete against each other in the ‘Super 8s’ where double points will be up for grabs. This will make for an exciting finale to the NTS.
Teams outside the top 8 will also be welcome to enter and also play off for double points in the ‘Social 8s’ competition.
