Shelter: Due to the festival growing, there is limited space available this year for team tents. Some
space may be available for a small pop-up tent/canopy. You will need to check with organizers at the
front gate before bringing your shelter into the festival site. Space will be allotted at a first-come-firstserve basis. There is a small shared space where your players can keep their things. There are currently
no changing areas on the festival grounds (with the exception of portable outhouses). This situation
may be rectified before Saturday.
Mid-Day Parade: At noon, all of the rugby teams, other athletes, and family clans are marched around
the festival grounds led by a mass pipe band. If your team has a banner or flag that represents them,
please bring it for the parade. This will only last for about 15 mins.
Tug-of-War: The Tug of War is a festive event at the Gathering of the Scots. Each rugby team gets to
participate in the single elimination bracket. The final pull(s) takes place in front of the main stage with
a live commentator/play-by-play announcer. The winners receive a trophy to take back to their
club/school.
Awards Presentation: At the end of the day all awards will be presented to the teams on the main
stage. This years awards will be presented for the following:
1st Place: Cup Trophy
2nd Place: Silver Plate
3rd Place: Bowl Trophy
4th Place: Shield Plaque
Tug of War (1St Place): Tug-of-War Trophy
The winning teams will keep all awards to bring back to their club/school.
Yours in Rugby,
