Copied or Extrapolated from the USA Rugby 2023-24 ELIGIBILITY REGULATIONS

For more information see the Senior Club Eligibility website.

Players

  • Each player must be currently registered with USA Rugby and before April 2nd.
  • The Player must not have played in a National Championship Qualifying Match for any other club.
    • Otherwise they must get a waiver before playing.
  • Players entering the United States from other Unions must receive official clearance through their home Union and USA Rugby before playing.
  • Non-Resident (NR) players must have entered and be residing in the US prior to April 1.
  • If mathematically incapable of meeting the requirements for USA Club Rugby National Championship Series (NCS) the player is immediately ineligible.
  • Applying for a waiver does NOT grant temporary eligibility.

Player NCS Playoff Eligibility

  • Each player must play in at least two (2) NCS Qualifying Matches with the Club regardless of division.
  • Each player must be capable of meeting the required Qualifying Match minimum by the start of the USA Club Rugby NCS. Approved Governing Body Playoff matches apply towards the player’s match total.
  • Each player is restricted to the division(s) in which he/she will be eligible to compete in the USA Club Rugby NCS.
  • The USA Rugby Competition Management System (CMS) is the sole system of record for proof of player eligibility.

Player Eligibility: Senior Clubs Fielding Multiple Sides.

At the beginning of the season players are not tied to a particular side. As matches are played some will eventually be eligible only for a club’s Upper Division(s).

Once mathematically incapable of meeting the requirements for a lower division’s NCS eligibility the player is immediately tied to the upper division(s).

Multi-side Roster Movement – RRRC specific

Movement of players between Lower Divisions and Upper Divisions of the same Club is allowed except where specifically prohibited.

Players who play as starters in Upper Division Qualifying Matches may not play in Lower Division Qualifying Matches played on the same weekend.

From 2019‐20 Elig. Rule 3.5(b) on substitutions between Lower and Upper Division sides

Players who play in a Lower Division Qualifying Match may play in Upper Division Qualifying Matches played on the same weekend during the Regular League Season only when the Lower Division Qualifying Match is played before the Upper Division Qualifying Match, subject to the following restrictions:

  • Up to three (3) players who played in a Lower Division Qualifying Match may be listed as RESERVE PLAYERS for the Upper Division Qualifying Match(es); or
  • Up to four (4) players who played in a Lower Division Qualifying Match may be listed as RESERVE PLAYERS for the Upper Division Qualifying Match(es), if at least one of those players is a front row specialist.

66% Rule

If a Club fields multiple teams in the NCS pathway (two or more Divisions): On playing in at least 66% of the total National Championship Qualifying Matches (using the sum of matches played at the Upper levels) for an Upper Division side, based on the schedule of the higher division side with the fewer number of Qualifying Matches, the player is immediately no longer eligible to play for the lower Division side(s) (See Figure 1).

During the course of the season, should the number of matches played by the club change for reasons outside the club’s control (forfeit, cancellation) and a player’s eligibility for a/the Lower Division side be impacted, the player must request a waiver from USA Rugby.

Figure 1. Regulations 3.5-(d): In-Season Player Divisional Eligibility.

50% Rule

Using the total number of NCS Qualifying Matches played (including approved Governing Body playoff games) by a player, if 50% or more were with the Upper Division side(s), that player is no longer eligible to participate with the Lower Division side(s).

Non-Resident or Professional Players

Match Rosters for NCS Qualifying Matches may list a maximum of 23 players.

  • No Match Roster may contain more than five (5) Non-Resident Players.
  • No Division 1 Match Roster may contain more than five (5) Professional Players.
  • No Division 2 Match Roster may contain more than two (2) Professional Players.
