The 2011 Premiership Rugby Sevens Series, named for sponsorship reasons as the 2011 J.P Morgan Asset Management Premiership Rugby 7s Series, was the second Rugby Union7-a-side competition for the 12 2011-12 Aviva Premiership Clubs. It began on Friday 15 July and lasted four weeks, with the final at the Twickenham Stoop on 5 August 2011.[1] Newcastle Falcons won the title, beating Saracens in the final.
The twelve Premiership Clubs were split into three Groups – A, B and C – with each group playing on a consecutive Friday in July. Each team in the group played each other once, to the International Rugby Board Laws of the Game – 7s Variations. Based on the result, teams would receive:
4 points for a win
2 points for a draw
1 bonus point for a loss by seven points or less
1 bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match
Following all the games, the winner and runner up in the group would progress to the finals. In the finals, the six teams were split into two pools. Again teams played each other once and points were awarded based on the result. Following the culmination of this stage the winners of each pool progressed to the final, the winner of that game being declared the champions.
