The pools and schedule for the Collegiate Rugby Championship qualifier bracket of the Las Vegas Invitational have been set.
The field of 32 is split into two conferences, which are divided into four pools of four. Each team will play its first two pool games on Thursday and its final pool game on Friday. The top two teams from each pool advance to the Cup quarterfinals on Friday, and the Cup semifinals and finals happen on Saturday, with the winner of each conference playing in front of the IRB 7s World Series crowd inside Sam Boyd Stadium at 5:52pm local time to earn the right to play in the June CRC. The time of the final is subject to change.
Central Washington returns to defend its CRC qualifier title. To do so, the Wildcats will need to advance past Utah, winners of the inaugural CRC in 2010, Davenport, the top ranked 15s team in DI-AA, Cal Poly and Stony Brook, among others in conference two. The favorite in conference one has to be Life, winners of the inaugural USA Rugby College 7s National Championship in December. The Running Eagles draw Kutztown, CRC qualifier runners-up in 2011, Miami and San Diego State, among others.
