The 2013 Premiership Rugby Sevens Series (styled for sponsorship reasons as the 2013 J.P Morgan Asset Management Premiership Rugby 7s Series) was the fourth Rugby Union 7-a-side competition for the twelve 2013–14 Aviva Premiership Clubs. The group stages were run on 1–3 August 2013 and the final at the Recreation Ground on 9 August 2013.
Format
The twelve Premiership Clubs were split into 3 Groups – A, B and C based upon geographical location – with each group playing on consecutive days at the beginning of August. Each team in the group played each other once, to the International Rugby Board Laws of the Game - 7s Variations. Based on the result, teams received:
4 points for a win
2 points for a draw
1 bonus point for a loss by seven points or less
1 bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match
Following all the games, the winner and runner up in each group progressed to the Final Stage. In the final, the 6 teams (3 Winners and 3 Runners up) were split into 2 pools. Again teams played each other once and points were awarded based on the match result. Following the culmination of this stage the winners of each pool progressed to the final, the winner of that game being declared the champions.
