RUGBY SEVENS RULES AND TOURNAMENT FORMAT
With Rugby Sevens still a relatively new sport in the Olympic calendar, here is everything you need to know about the fast-growing sport.
Teams have been drawn into three pools of four, with the top two nations automatically qualifying for the quarter-finals.
They will be joined in the finals by the two-highest third-place finishes from the group stages.
The format has significant changes from the 15-a-side format, which includes:
7 players per team on the field
Five substitutes, with five interchanges
Seven-minute halves
Maximum of two minutes half-time
Matches drawn after regulation in finals are continued into golden point and extra in multiple 5-minute periods.
All conversion attempts must be drop-kicked and taken within 30 seconds instead of having the option to place-kick
Three player scrums instead of the regular eight.
Kick-offs: in sevens, the team which has just scored kicks off, rather than the conceding team.
Players who receive a yellow card will be sidelined for only two minutes
