===Positions===
There are not set positions in Rosey, however several positions have emerged as descriptors of certain roles players can fall into.
*'''Forwards''': A forward is a player that is predominately the scorer. Their role is typically to simply run through the defense and avoid attacking defenders. A player that is a forward typically will have a high offensive value and a relatively low defensive value in their statistics.
*'''Backs''': A back is a player that predominately acts on defense and is notable for their PvP skills. In conventional rosey strategy, a back typically tries to clear defenders on offense to allow their forward to score.
*'''Power forwards''' and '''Power backs''' ('''Powerbacks''') are forwards and backs that have the skills of both a forward and a back but are specialized as either a back or forward. The 'power' in the name indicates their flexibility and their two-way skill.
The Rosey Federation uses the metrics of Offensive Value Above Replacement (O-VAR) and Defensive Value Above Replacement (D-VAR) to determine the positional classification of a player. The table below represents the classification criteria:

Line 57: Line 79:
If the player was on the attempting team, play restarts at the meterline most recently crossed by the defensive player furthest away from their homezone. If the player was on the defending team, play restarts at the meterline closer to the attempting team's homezone from the furthest player on the attempting team, however no play can resume at the homeline.

==== Penalty ====
====Penalty====
Penalties are typically enforced via 9-meter changes in a team's launching position. The only offenses resulting in such a punishment are false starts and unsportsmanlike conduct. Illicit substance usage also results in such a punishment, however also leads to the ejection of the offending player.

Line 82: Line 104:
If any player crossed the 9m line during the initial attempt of a play and finds themselves in an offside position, the Umpire rules the play dead. The attempt is ruled a violation, and play is reset at the Beacon.

====== Removal ======
======Removal======
The offsides rule was removed in the third edition of the rules in March 2026, due to its ability to be abused to stop play. The abolition of offsides has led to certain new strategies being developed, such as the ''backwards distraction'', and discussion over potentially introducing a defensive point for downing an offensive player in the opposing homezone.

===Teams===
=== Teams===
The RFL consists of 8 teams, with no divisions. Clubs vary, with some, such as the Swiss Redeyes, representing a whole country, and some instead representing community groups or towns. Each team is administered by a general manager, accountable to club ownership. 7 of the 8 clubs are owned by a sole private owner and 1 is owned as a publicly-held nonprofit. In the past, several clubs had been owned by local governments but have since been sold.

=== Popularity ===
Rosey is largely considered the most popular sport in Eastern North America and the Pacific Northwest. In the Southwest of North America its popularity is second to that of Gridiron football and the [[EFL]] (EarthMC Football League), which dominates Texas and California, although RFL nonetheless has presence in Texas with the RFL's Neverland Pirates. It has also gained some popularity in Western Europe, with the Swiss Redeyes bolstering Rosey to be the second-largest sport in Switzerland behind F1 Racing, and has garnered limited popularity in France and North Africa.
RFL is the most-viewed sports league on EarthMC, with the second-highest average attendance. It has the fourth-highest estimated fanbase and playerbase, and is one of the fastest growing organized sports.
RFL players consist of various nationalities. As of June 2026, 31% of active professional rosey players on RFL rosters are American, 21% are Acadian, 10% are Swiss, and 7% are Texan. 14% are from nations in the Pacific Northwest (Cascadia, Cariboo, Montana), 6% are from other nations in Eastern North America (Massachusetts, New York), and the remainder are from other nations around the globe such as France, Mauretania, and Australia.

==== May 2026 RFL draft====
19 players were entered into the draft. All returning professional players from the previous season were immediately placed into the draft, with the exception that each club could maintain their manager if their manager was a player-manager, and each club could reserve up to one non-managerial player to not enter the draft. Reserving either a player-manager or a non-managerial reserved player resulted in a penalization of one order placement in the draft per reserve.
