2009 London Sevens

The London Sevens is played annually as part of the IRB Sevens World Series for international rugby sevens (seven-a-side version of rugby union). The 2009 competition took place on May 23 and May 24 in London, England, and was the seventh Cup trophy in the 2008-09 IRB Sevens World Series. England won the most prestigious Cup trophy, with an extra time 31-26 victory over New Zealand; Fiji won the Plate trophy, Kenya won the Bowl trophy, and Canada won the Shield trophy.

Format

The tournament consists of four round-robin pools of four teams. All sixteen teams progress to the knockout stage. The top two teams from each group progress to quarter-finals in the main competition, with the winners of those quarter-finals competing in cup semi-finals and the losers competing in plate semi-finals. The bottom two teams from each group progress to quarter-finals in the consolation competition, with the winners of those quarter-finals competing in bowl semi-finals and the losers competing in shield semi-finals.

gollark: I will make it spam antimemetically.
gollark: Thanks.
gollark: I mean, birthday paradox and all, but you'll still have to look at MILLIONS I think.
gollark: I don't mean "3521614606208" in the rhetorical sense, there are literally 3521614606208 in that format.
gollark: Consider. There are 3521614606208 possible invite links. Who is checking them all?
