Adjustments to Highlander Divisions and Placements


As the Fifth season of RGL Highlander has come to a close, our Highlander staff have reviewed the overall health of the Highlander divisions. In Season 5, Advanced had three teams disband mid-season, bringing the team count from 13 teams to 10 teams by the end of the season. Main had six teams disband mid-season bringing the team count from 19 teams to 13 teams by the end of the season.

For Season 6, we will be shifting how we place teams into divisions for Highlander. The Advanced Division will be limited to eight team slots and will be using a round robin scheduling structure. The Main Division will be limited to twelve team slots and will be using a swiss scheduling structure.

If a team desires to play in a division not found to be accurate to their team’s ability, their placement will be adjusted appropriately. If a single player is outside of the general skill level of the rest of the team, that player will be removed from the roster.
