Welcome to another Club season! The league has been restructured from three regions to eight competitive regions. USA Rugby has encouraged D2 clubs to step up and be D1 so that teams are not traveling as much (some areas still can’t avoid the travel). Overall we are looking at about 20-25 D1 teams in the country, see the standings below to see who is playing who and where.
The new competitive structure sees the United States divided into two Leagues. One representing the Western half of the country (American Conference) and the other the Eastern half (National Conference). Within each league there will be four distinct Conferences, with the winners of each Conference advancing to the League Semi Finals, and the two League Champions competing in the National Championship.
Last year the Atlanta Harlequins defeated ORSU (former WPL team) 35-14. Keystone elected to move down from the WPL so Atlanta moved up to the WPL.
Playoff Seeds
The League Semi-Finals and Finals will be played the weekend of May 17-18, in Pittsburgh and Dallas, and will be seeded in the following manner for the 2014 spring playoffs:
Eastern League: Midwest Conference v Mid-Atlantic Conference & Southern Conference v Atlantic North Conference
Western League: Pacific North Conference v Red River Conference & Pacific South Conference v Frontier Conference
The winners of the two leagues will face each other for the National Championship on the weekend of May 31 in Madison, WI.
From this four-team event, the overall winner advances to a one-game national championship with the overall winner from the same division emerging from the opposite League: American women’s Div I champion v National women’s Div I champion.
