The plan is for the series to kick off at PlayRugby's Mayor's Cup on June 5.  All summer, each tournament's winning teams will accumulate points towards the Met NY Summer 7s Series championship.  Met NY will track the results and announce the winners following the final tournament.  We hope to present the winners with their trophies at USA Rugby's National All Star 7s Championship on Randall's Island in late August (pending confirmation of venue).

Met New York will accept sponsors for the entire series.  Details upon request to Summer 7s Series Director Bret Costain This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
