Sevens scrums are quite a bit different than Fifteens scrums, so it is important that we are all on the same page moving into the fall Collegiate 7s season. Paddy O&#8217;Brien was able to verify the new procedures (see below).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Seven scrums we will:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Call CROUCH-BIND-SET. Sevens Referees will make sure that scrums are straight and square before calling &#8220;CROUCH&#8221;, then call &#8220;BIND&#8221;. The Referee will then make sure all 4 props have proper binds on their opposite numbers (up high on the back or arm), before calling &#8220;SET&#8221; (invitation to engage). All put ins by the scrum half must be straight down the middle.<\/p>\n<p>We will not be calling &#8220;Yes 9&#8221;, &#8220;Yes 4&#8221;, or anything else to the scrum half. Sevens scrums by nature, are quick restarts and should proceed without delay. We do not want to slow down the game of Sevens, but will ensure a fair contest for possession (check for proper binds, straight put in).<\/p>\n<p>Please let me know if you have any other questions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:pmcnally@usarugby.org\">Patrick McNally<\/a><br \/>\nUSAR National Sevens Referee Manager<br \/>\n(323) 899-2471<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, We have received quite a few inquiries lately about how the new scrum calls will affect Seven-a-Side rugby.
