Tight 5 Sevens

Rugby built for every body

Tight 5 Sevens is an age- and weight-handicapped rugby sevens community. We bring players and clubs together for competitive, welcoming tournaments while supporting ALS awareness and youth rugby.

How T5S works

Tight 5 Sevens uses age and weight to calculate a player score. The handicap is designed to help teams build balanced, competitive matches across a wide range of players. Event rules and eligibility details may vary, so check the information for each tournament.

Calculate your T5S score

Enter your age in completed years and your weight in pounds. The approved baseline is age 31 and 220 lb. Each year above 31 adds one point; each year below 31 subtracts one. Each pound below 220 adds one point; each pound above 220 subtracts one.

Age (years)Weight (lb)

Formula: (age − 31) + (220 − weight in pounds) = T5S score. A positive or negative result is the calculated handicap score; use the tournament’s published rules for how scores are applied to a team.

This calculator displays the score for you to copy. It does not add or save a score to a Shopify customer account.

Why we do it

We use rugby to build connection and create meaningful opportunities to support ALS awareness and youth rugby. Our events celebrate club rugby, players of different ages and sizes, and the people who make the game welcoming.
