The tournament was to be scored on teamwork, sportsmanship, respect and ‘the Harlequins way’. The scoring was out of five in each category.

The prize for the highest two scoring teams was to play an exhibition game on the pitch at the Twickenham Stoop during the half-time break of the Premiership game between Harlequins and Newcastle Falcons.
