In an attempt to provide the highest level of competition teams will be accepted based on: 1) Out of state 2) Overall team strength 3) Previous tournament history. The Rimland Challenge strives to create equitable levels of competition and if we have enough teams we will form a second tier bracket within an age group.

FORMAT

The Rimland Challenge divisions are established to attempt to field the strongest levels of competition possible. Where applicable we will attempt to have two divisions PREMIER (upper level) and COPA (lower level) at each age group to provide appropriate levels of competition. Teams will play in a four team matrix whenever possible and be guaranteed at least three games. U9-U12 will play 50 minute matches (25 minute halves) and U13-19 will play 60 (30 minute halves) minute matches. U9 & U10 will play 7 v 7 on a 30 yd x 50 yd field. U 11 & U12 teams will play 9 a-side on a 50 yd x 90 yd field. U13-19 will play 11 a-side on full size fields. The U18/19 age groups will be a combined age group. We reserve the right to combine or modify age divisions should the need arise to balance competition.
