Frequently Asked Questions
When does the season run?
September through March, with April playoffs.
What is the structure?
We are a “relegation” league, with two divisions, the Premier Conference and the National Conference. The bottom two teams in the Premier Conference are relegated to the National Conference each year.
Do you have minor leaguers?
We do. But it’s limited with the Top 50 prospects protected for the Annual draft.
Can a National team win it all?
Yes, but it’s not easy. The top team gets the #7 seed in the playoffs while the next four teams battle it out in a play-in tournament. The winer gets the #8 seed to vie for the Champions Cup. Both are promoted the next season.
Winners actually get paid?
Yes, in cold hard currency! $100 for the Cup champion and $50 for the runner up. All playoff teams get a year with no dues. Everyone else pays $15 a year.
Can I join up?
Not now, but contact us to join our waiting list. You should have proven strat-o-matic experience, some championships and references you can show to demonstrate you’re ready to compete with the best of the best!
