A new, innovative format has also been introduced for the tournament next year, ensuring that every single match is critical for teams looking to progress to the final stages.
"The in stadium entertainment will complement the action on the pitch and provide something fun for everyone,' continued Spaulding. "Part of the culture of rugby sevens is the celebratory atmosphere and you can expect some fans to dress up in costume, similar to Bay-to-Breakers, to support their favorite teams. It's the type of sports celebration and fandom that meshes perfectly with the spirit and culture of the Bay Area. It will truly be a one-of-a-kind event.'
Rugby Sevens made its debut at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and the ongoing success and growth of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, including the HSBC Las Vegas Sevens every year, has moved the sport into the global spotlight as it continues to grow beyond the traditional rugby heartlands.
