2013 National Sevens Preview: Queenstown Pub Charity Sevens
James Mortimer 12 Jan 2013 Getty Images
The tournament has grown from strength to strength down South, and that year North Harbour went through unbeaten, winning the event for the fourth time in five attempts.
At the time, Harbour would have been considered the bastion of New Zealand's Sevens power.
In 2005 Pub Charity came on board as the principal sponsor, still in place today, which saw Auckland take out the crown.
Coached by Sevens legend Eric Rush, the team would go back-to-back despite the absence of their talisman the following year. The 2006 victory for Auckland saw them draw level with North Harbour as the most successful team.
However the following year Rush returned and Auckland won again, and the blue and whites made it four in a row, despite a massive turnover of players.
Harbour would regain 'their' title the following year, before the upper North Island confirmed itself as one of the fortresses of Sevens rugby, with Waikato winning the title in 2010 - their first for 12 years.
In 2011 Auckland would win again, but Wayne Pivac's victory was probably the most siginificant considering Auckland had struggled building into that competition.
Auckland won a record 11th title last year.
The last time a South Island team won the crown was in 1993, via Canterbury.
Teams from the 26 Provincial Unions have to qualify to attend at the National Event in Queenstown.
Teams that were placed in the top eight, after round robin play the previous year, have automatic right of entry into the following years event. The host union also has a right of entry. If the host union has won its right to attend by being with the top eight then their entry position will go to the winner of the bowl the previous year.
Various other equations come to effect as well.
The Provincial Unions are split into Northern, Central and Southern Zones. A Ratio of 6,5,5 establishes a way for those teams, that have not qualified, to enter through the regions ratio. For example if we take the Central Region of which there are Nine Unions to fill 5 positions. Bearing in mind that at least two of the positions will be filled by Unions that have already qualified by how they were placed the previous year, we then have 7 Unions vying for 3 positions. Each region has a Tournament which doubles as a qualifying round to identify Unions for those last positions.
In some occasions all is not lost for Unions that fail to make their regions ratio. They may be granted a wildcard entry if some other region ratio is not filled by the respective Unions. This may be due to various reasons.
