Английская Википедия:2016 Heartland Championship
Шаблон:Infobox rugby tournament The 2016 Heartland Championship, known as the 2016 Mitre 10 Heartland Championship for sponsorship reasons,[1] was the eleventh edition of the Heartland Championship, a rugby union competition involving the twelve amateur rugby unions in New Zealand. The tournament included a round-robin stage in which the twelve teams played eight games each and then the top four advanced to the Meads Cup semifinals, while fifth to eighth advanced to the Lochore Cup semifinals. In both of these knockout stages the top seeds (first and fifth) played at home against the lowest seeds (fourth and eighth), the second highest seeds (second and sixth) played at home against the third highest seeds (third and seventh) and the final had the higher seed play at home against the lower seed.
Law changes
The New Zealand Rugby Union decided to implement new law changes for the Heartland Championship for 2016. These law changes involved a new points scoring system:[2]
- 8 pts for a penalty try (no conversion kick required);
- 6 pts for a try;
- 2 pts for a penalty, conversion or drop goal.
