A combination of game performance, construction and agronomy testing have been undertaken to provide a comprehensive assessment of the venue.

2 The overall score of this field at the date of evaluation is very good and above the assigned objective for training facilities generally considered to witness high level of playing hours. The surface of the pitch is very homogeneous. The cultivated grass offers a dark green colour. Planarity is good (rare undulations observed are small and on large areas, therefore with no impact at all on the game). Poa annua is present (2%), action might be required to avoid expansion, such as growth inhibitor. No other weeds have been found. Ground cover is good. A few uncovered areas near the goals and lines, but not exceeding 1m². They are also less visible thanks the hybrid nature of the field. Ground profiles are very homogeneous and highlight a healthy pitch: Thatch is present on 3 profiles, Effective rooting is deep and dense. Roots are healthy with an average 128mm depth. With the construction layers (20cm sand on gravel), water might be present at 15cm depth during humid periods. Moisture is homogeneous, around the pitch and accross soil profiles. From top to bottom we can notice : The sand (1 to 2 cm), The synthetic turf backing (with large stitch gauge, to allow for roots development), Geotextile, Rigid shockpad with large holes, Growth substratum (mix of sand, rubber and expanded clay) (5 cm), Sand. Key observations and recommendations Sports performance properties are very good: Shock absorption and Vertical deformation results obtained on the field correspond to results expected for good quality pitches, very slightly on the high side. This can be due to the important turf density at the time of the visit. Energy restitution results are good. It might be interesting to monitor these values in the future and make sure they remain stable. Rotational resistance values are slightly lower than the average of our database but remain good and uniform. This is explained by the way the system is built : roots have to go through the synthetic carpet and shockpad. This creates a hard point and thus reduces the solicited root length during the rotationnal resistance test. Ball Rebound on the field is good. We see one point for easy optimization : lowering the turf density might help get even better sports performance properties and especially ball roll. Additionally, if an action is planned for the few uncovered areas, we recommend not to use the area for 3 weeks after sowing. This should help get a more durable result.

3 Additional information Sports Performance tests were performed on an uncovered area near the goals (test location : 38 ) Results : Shock absorption : 65 % (average of the 9 test locations : 66%) Vertical deformation : 8,63 mm (average of the 9 test locations : 8,8 mm) Energy restitution : 21,5 (average of the 9 test locations : 21,3 %) Conclusion: Shock absorption, Vertical deformation, Energy restitution tests results for location 38 (uncovered area) are not different from the average of the results on the field This report has been approved by: OLIVIER L'HOSTIS R16080A2 ScorePlay Palau Turf System 3 of 13 ScorePlay Natural Turf

13 Shock Absorption: a measure of the dynamic response of the surface as experienced by a player when running on the surface. Surfaces should neither be too hard to minimise the risk of repeated impact injuries nor too soft, too minimise the risk of fatigue based injuries. Vertical Deformation: a measure of the stability of the surface as it is impacted when a player runs across it. If the Vertical Deformation is too high or low the player will find the surface unstable or uncomfortable. Energy Restitution is the ratio of the energy returned to a player as they run across the surface compared to the energy imparted. Surfaces with poor Energy Restitution properties can be considered tiring to play on, with the possibility of fatigue or even injuries occurring. Ball Roll: the higher the value the faster the ball will run over the surface. The ball should not be too fast or too slow. Head Impact Criteria (HIC): a measure of the potential risk of a head impact with the surface resulting in a serious injury or a fatality. The test determines the height at which a HIC of 1000 is achieved, this being the point at which the statistical risk of a head impact with the surface causing a serious brain injury is greater than zero. The greater the fall height the low the risk of an injury occurring during normal play. Rotational Resistance: a measure of the rotational grip or Traction provided by the playing surface. If the surface offers too much grip players may find it difficult to move and turn with ease and in extreme cases injuries due to foot lock could occur. Too little grip and players will not be able to turn and stop with ease and confidence. Ball rebound: a measure the height a ball bounces when dropped from a fixed height onto the playing surface. Gmax is a test method covers the nreasurement of certain shockabsorbing characteristics, the impact forcetime relationships, and the rebound properties of playing surface systems. Infiltration rate is a measure of the rate at which water is able to percolate vertically from the playing surface. Surface Regularity is a measure of any undulations (depressions or high spot) recorded under a straightedge. Pace is a measure of the speed of a ball launched by a cannon on the floor at a defined angle and speed. Dispersion index is a measure of the quantity of infill ejected from the synthetic turf after the rebound of a ball. Effective Root Depth is a measure to established root depth. A minimum value is specified to ensure adequate stability of the plant to withstand the wear and tear a pitch will experience during a match. Ground Cover, the percentage of the pitch covered by grass as opposed to bare areas. Weed content is an evaluation of the quantity of weed. Sward Height: the height of the grass. A minimum Sward height is specified to protect the plant, whilst a maximum height is specified to ensure a satisfactory playing surface. Ground Compaction (CIV) is a measure of the degree of compaction of root zone measured with a Clegg Impact Hammer. Thatch Depth is a measure of degree of thatch within the grass sward. Ideally there should be no thatch. Penetrometer is a measure of the compaction of the soil depending on the resistance of a rod driven into the ground Shear test is a measure of the stability of the soil. This test simulates the push of a rugby scrum on the grass. NDVI is the measure of plant cover rate on the field. Pests & Diseases is an assessment of any insect pests (nematodes, etc.) or diseases present within the pitch. Sward Colour is a measure of the colour of the grass sward. Colour uniformity is a visual measurement of the color for the entire field. Soil health is an evaluation of the stratification, the porosity and the anaerobic of the soil of the field.
