2026/27 Season

What's New

A 7-game season played over two mandatory event weekends. Teams will play 3 or 4 games per event, depending on age group and event format. All teams within their respective division will play the same number of games at each event. All league matches will be completed during the two scheduled league events. There will be no out-of-event games during the 2026/27 season.

Larger age groups will be split into two brackets. 1st- and 2nd-place finishers from each bracket will advance to championship event weekend at the JPL USA Champions Cup in Rapid City, South Dakota.
