Current Season Rule: Once you play as a specific classification during the current season you may not be classified lower than that classification for the season. If you play at a higher classification then what you are currently ranked than you earn the higher ranking until the end of the season. Example: A player that is ranked Div 4 for event #1 and then plays on a Div 3 team for event #2 is now ranked at the Div 3 level for event #3.
Getting reclassified: A player that has extenuating circumstances may be reclassified by filing a Reclassification Request with the league.
Team Classification
3-Player: All players on a 3-player team must be of the same division
5-Player: Division 2 teams may have one Div 1 ranked player, Division 3 teams may have one Div 2 ranked player, Division 4 teams may have one Div 3 ranked player.
7-Player: Division 2 teams may have two Div 1 ranked players, Division 3 teams may have two Div 2 ranked players, Division 4 teams may have two Div 3 ranked players.
Rosters
A player may not be on more than one roster per event, and a player cannot change rosters during an event. Players may only be added up to that team’s first game. Rosters and waivers must be filled out (legibly and completely) and handed in to RPL/D-League staff at the scoring table before playing your first game. Failure to turn in or update your roster and waivers will result in zero points for all games played before the roster and waivers are corrected or turned in to D-League staff.
RPL/D-League staff retains the right to change or modify this form if they see fit to do so.
