What is now referred to as <a href="https://www.world.rugby/news/572286" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Rugby Regulation 22</a>, Rugby Turf was introduced in 2003 to ensure that 3G surfaces replicate the playing qualities of good quality natural grass. Regulation 22 defines those artificial grass systems specifically designed for the game of Rugby and as such, are referred to as Rugby Turf. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Climatic conditions, in many countries where the game is played, make it difficult to grow natural turf. In countries where Rugby Union is developing, Rugby Turf offers credible alternatives to those parts of the world where climate or resources make the growing and maintaining of good quality natural grass pitches difficult or impossible to achieve. </span></p> </div></div></div></section> </div></div> <div class='flex_column av-c8v3-59967dbfa1c9bf83615730f7328cf912 av_one_fifth avia-builder-el-57 el_after_av_three_fifth el_before_av_hr flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin' ></div> <div class='hr av-pm3mzxu-5-12998cd2af64c06176822965c577b3e4 hr-custom avia-builder-el-58 el_after_av_one_fifth el_before_av_one_fifth hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class="hr-inner-style"></span></span></div> <div class='flex_column av-2non7-1fb5bfcafd3768c3d6ef870aea78e591 av_one_fifth avia-builder-el-59 el_after_av_hr el_before_av_three_fifth first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding ' ></div> <div class='flex_column av-1p87n-2774070cdd45e480946970b9a9eb9709 av_three_fifth avia-builder-el-60 el_after_av_one_fifth el_before_av_one_fifth flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding ' ><div id="player-registration-and-transfers" class='av-special-heading av-l6qpjqqw-747001fe0dc5cab7c30c5e9bcadfa032 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote modern-centered avia-builder-el-61 avia-builder-el-no-sibling av-inherit-size'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag' itemprop="headline" >PLAYER REGISTRATION AND TRANSFERS</h3><div class="special-heading-border"><div class="special-heading-inner-border"></div></div></div></div> <div class='flex_column av-6rpv-4cb5d8d3c69ef21d5cd8884071cf8632 av_one_fifth avia-builder-el-62 el_after_av_three_fifth el_before_av_one_fifth flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding ' ></div> <div class='flex_column av-1ebp3-4e7ff09080e3e514ef408ba0396a4a74 av_one_fifth avia-builder-el-63 el_after_av_one_fifth el_before_av_three_fifth first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin' ></div> <div class='flex_column av-370v3-b7c698e0138858793c9e51e95d72df91 av_three_fifth avia-builder-el-64 el_after_av_one_fifth el_before_av_one_fifth flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin' ><section class='av_textblock_section av-5ck7-d12bd342ac1bbf49a3437c2b68ab7aa6 ' itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork" ><div class='avia_textblock' itemprop="text" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For more information on player registration, visit the <strong><a href="https://bcrugby.com/about-us/membership-benefits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BC Rugby Memberships Page</a></strong>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For players who wish to transfer to a new Club or Province, you will need to request a transfer through your Sportlomo account.
