Rules

The vast majority of rules is played under the rugby league 9s format of the sport although major rule changes include:

  • Fifteen minute games
  • No half time
  • Unlimited interchange
gollark: All widely deployed software is inevitably awful, as they say.
gollark: Also that the entire phone hardware/software stack is a horrifying inconsistent mess.
gollark: It's very annoying that the high-performance phone SoCs which exist have terrible IO and/or aren't sold to the SBC-making companies.
gollark: Technically, by weight, it's probably mostly metal casings and then the weird fibreglass stuff PCBs are made from.
gollark: (I plan to maybe switch over to an RK3588 SBC of some kind when they come out though. Basically the same performance on way less power. Very impressive.)
