Clubs
The IRL consists of XX clubs divided into two conferences of XX clubs in each. Each conference is divided into four divisions of four clubs in each. During the regular season, each club is allowed a maximum of XX players on its roster; only XX of these may be active (eligible to play) on game days.
Each IRL club is granted a franchise, the league's authorization for the club to operate in its home city. This franchise covers 'Home Territory' (the 75 miles surrounding the city limits, or, if the club is within 100 miles of another league city, half the distance between the two cities) and 'Home Marketing Area' (Home Territory plus the rest of the state the club operates in, as well as the area the club operates its training camp in for the duration of the camp). Each IRL member has the exclusive right to host professional Rugby games inside its Home Territory and the exclusive right to advertise, promote, and host events in its Home Marketing Area.
Season format
The IRL season format consists of a three-week preseason, an eighteen-week regular season (each club plays 17 games), and a fourteen-club single-elimination playoff culminating in the Super Bowl, the league's championship game.
