SEASON, STREAMS, AND PLAYOFF

The Ohio Varsity Spring Rocket League (OVSP) is a league run similar to Rocket League Championship Series. The league will consist of a total of eight teams divided into two divisions.

Each team will complete a six-series schedule and then be seeded into the playoffs based on divisional placement. Each series will include five games.

Regular Season

The regular season consists of three weeks. Each team will play other divisional teams twice each for a total of six series.

Following the regular season, each team will be seeded into the playoffs based on divisional rankings.

Each of the two divisional winners will earn a No. 1 seed and play a fourth-place team from the other division. The second-place teams in each division will play a third-place team from the other division.

Each series will be played in a best-of-five format. The team recording three wins will earn the win.

Each series will be scheduled on a particular date. Team captains are responsible for arranging the time to play online. All series must be completed and scores submitted for the week prior to 10:00 p.m. on the following Sunday.

The scheduled home team will create the lobby. The away team will have first choice of color, which will not change for the duration of the match.

The default arena played is DFH Stadium. Teams are free to change the arena at any time so long as both teams consent.

It is up to the home teams to create and report the final scores.

Teams will be randomly assigned to regular season divisions.
