Super/Social 8s
The top 8 teams in the NTS points table after the London NTS (Round 5) will be invited to take part in the Super 8s. The next 8 teams in the rankings (9- 16th place) will be invited to take part in the Social 8s competition.
If a team in the top 8 is unable to raise a team for the finals, then the 9th placed team will be invited to take part in the Super 8s. Similarly, if a team between 9th and 16th is unable to raise a team, then the next placed team (17th place) will be invited along and so on.
Double NTS points will be on offer for the Super/Social 8s.
Super 8s
There will be a Super 8s Cup and Plate to play for. The top 8 sides will be split into two pools of four depending on the NTS ranking.
Pool 1 - 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th.
Pool 2 - 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th.
Each team will play each other once, before progressing to the knockout stages.
Social 8s
The format will be as above, with the Social 8s Cup and Plate to play for. The NTS Points on offer will be the equivalent of the Bowl winners down.
Pool 1 – 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th
Pool 2 – 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th
