Season 1 Overview:
● The RHL Season will play a series of “progressive group stages”. Every 3 weeks, teams will be assigned a group to play a round robin with (where each team has a match with every other team in their group). The results of the round robin will determine how teams are grouped for the next round robin stage. Teams performing well will be invited to the playoffs at the end of the season.
● Team captains will be responsible for scheduling their assigned matches during the season, and a match may be played anytime during the first 2 weeks of each stage, as long as both teams agree. The 3rd week of each stage will be reserved for tiebreaker matches and other matches needing administrative direction.
● Team sizes will be 4-8 players, with PC and PS4 players allowed to compete.
● The playoffs will start with a total prize pool of $500. The pot split will be 40% ($200) for 1st place, 20% for 2nd, and 10% for 3rd and 4th place, and 5% for 5th-8th.

RHL Preseason Week 5!
[mp_row]
[mp_span col="12"]
We are nearing the end of the preseason. Rounds 10-13 are a go. Teams are encouraged to complete their Week 4 matches as well over the next 2 game weeks. Upcoming rounds are indicated on the Challonge: http://challonge.com/RHLPreseason
We have added another team to the brackets. EBC (temporary name) is being captained by Epik Bonzo. Since teams are added to the brackets retroactively, it should be mentioned that Week 4 matches against EBC are not required to be made up.
Thanks to all the RHL players and everyone in the community for their support and participation. Have a great week!

RHL Preseason Week 4!
[mp_row]
[mp_span col="12"]
Week 4 is here. Time for Rounds 7-9. Only Rounds 7-9, please do not schedule any matches from previous weeks. Upcoming rounds are indicated on the Challonge: http://challonge.com/RHLPreseason
We have adjusted the seasonal structure. There will be 3 week blocks. For weeks 1 and 2, teams will be given 3 matches each week to schedule. The 3rd week of each 3 week block will have no new matches assigned. Teams may use this as break week, or matches may be scheduled then. The amount of matches every 3 weeks will be the same as before (6). This change is intended to increase scheduling flexibility.
Currently, team size seems to be the largest indicator of scheduling difficulty. So, we have increased the team size limit to 8 (used to be 6).
Thanks again to all the RHL players for helping make this great league happen! Enjoy your week!

Preseason Week 3 is here. Time for Rounds 5 and 6.
Any matches against the Free Agent Team this season will now be considered a bye match. We will be looking to run a combine-type event for the free agents in the near future.
We will have a Captains Meeting from 4:00-5:30 pm PST, Saturday (4/2) and Tuesday (4/5). Captains and Assistant Captains are welcome to join us on Discord to talk about upcoming and current rules. The timeframe is to allow people to join when they can. The Saturday and Tuesday meetings are intended to cover the same material.
Have a great week!
