THE FOLLOWING ARE THE STANDARDS FOR FIELDS FOR MAC CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS OR 7S QUALIFIERS [Effective 1/1/99.]
(Please note that the conversion from the metric system to the U.S. standard of measurement is rounded off.)
MINIMUMS FOR MAC CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS OR 7S QUALIFIERS:
Length (goal-to-goal): no less than 91m (99.5 yds) and not exceeding 100m (109.4 yds).
Width: not less than 63m (68.9) and not exceeding 70m (76.6).
Ingoal: not less than 10m (10.9 yds) and not exceeding 22m (24.1 yds).
'22m line' will be 22m (24.1 yds) from the goal line.
'10m line' will be 10m (10.9 yds) from the mid-way line.
'5m from touch' will be 5m (5.5 yds) from the touchline.
'15m from touch' will be 15m (16.4 yds) from the touchline.
'5m from goal' will be 5m (5.5 yds) from the goal line.
1. There shall be no dangerous obstructions or holes on the pitch between the touchlines and the end lines.
2. Goal post pads are required and must be at least 2 inches thick.
3. Minimum dimensions do not include the required touchline restraint. The touchline restraint shall be a minimum of 5m from the touchline and will be goalline-to-goalline. Both sides are not required for the touchline rope if one side of the field is expected to be sparsely populated. If a field is widened/created to the minimum dimension putting the touchline close to a dangerous obstruction (example: a drinking fountain), that object cannot be closer than 2 meters to the touchline; between 2 and 5 meters from the touchline, they must be padded; obstructions further than 5 meters from the touchline are okay and do not need any padding; obstructions within two meters of the end line do not need to be padded; obstructions further than 2 meters from the end line are okay and do not need any padding; obstructions within the ingoal will be considered on a case by case basis, but if allowed, will require padding.
4. For 15s, one field per six teams is recommended. In extenuating circumstances a host will be granted a bid that has one field per eight teams.
