Series Overview
The Hill Country Se7ens Series - Summer ‘24 is a 3-event series held in May - June - July in the I-35 Corridor between Austin and San Antonio.
Each event in the series can be attended in isolation as a one-off event. Cumulative awards that span all three events will be based on the continued use of the same Tourplay team and roster across multiple events.
The series will be an escalation series, in the sense that one additional skill is permitted to be added to the team with each new event.
The top 4 finishers in the cumulative series will be invited to compete on the Hill Country squad in the championship tier at the Texas Se7ens Super Bowl in August 2024, against the top 4 finishers in the Bayou City Se7ens Spring Series. This will be a four-round, round-robin, squad vs. squad championship, where each coach plays once against every coach from the other squad.
If an invitation is declined, the next highest finisher will be invited. Any coach who qualifies for both the Hill Country and the Bayou City championship squads can choose which squad they would like to join.
This is a casual, friendly event series. Everyone should help each other out and assist with rules and queries despite glamorous awards and glorious titles being on the line.
