Option 1: Post that you're available

Introduce yourself in the free agents channel so teams can find you.

Include your positions, when you can usually play, and any experience. Clear posts get noticed faster.

Option 2: Answer a team's post

Teams post the players and positions they need in the free agency channel. Read them and message the team staff listed.

Want to see who's good first? Every team on Standings opens its own page.

Before you commit

• Check the team's game times fit your schedule.
• Be honest about your experience and availability.
• Ask what position they want you to play. Questions are welcome.

Keep looking

Not every team is the right fit. Leave your post up and keep checking openings until you find a good match.

The season

Each season has 12 weeks, then the playoffs. Teams are spread across the divisions, and each week starts fresh groups.

Groups

Every week, each division is split into groups of 2 teams, and you play everyone in your group. The lowest division may take a smaller or larger leftover group.

Games

A team normally plays 1 game each week. A short group can mean fewer. Game times are agreed with your opponent in Discord.

Who moves up or down

Teams in a division are ordered by their week results:

1. Week wins
2. Week point differential (PD)
3. Week points
4. Previous rank

Rank after moving

Once every team has its new division, each division is ordered by total season points, then season wins and season PD.

Teams need an owner

A team with no owner drops to the lowest division and ranks at the next move, whatever its results. A new owner taking over a team keeps only half its points (rounded up).

Seeding

Teams are seeded by:

1. Total season points
2. Total season wins
3. Total season PD
4. Total points scored

Play-in round

Seeds #7–#8 first play the next 2 teams outside the field (#7 vs #10, and so on). Each winner takes the better seed of its game.

Advancing

Win and you move on; lose and you're out. Each round re-pairs best against worst. If both teams forfeit, both are out, and an odd number left gives the top seed a bye. The last team standing is champion.

The rulebook

Two rulebooks apply: the RoSports Standards every league follows, and this league's own game rules.

Open the rulebook

/help rules posts the rules link in Discord.

Need a moderator?

Run /help mod in the channel where you need help. After you confirm, the league's moderators are pinged there. You can ask once a minute.

Something else?

For appeals, reports, or anything staff need to look into privately, open a ticket in the Providence RoSports support server.

Support server

/ticket open also sends you the invite.
