Clubs vary, with some, such as Salish, representing broad regions (the Cascadian Metropolitan region), 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. | ||
Starting in the second season, each team plays 9 regular season games, competing once against every other club in the league once, plus two games determined based on place in the standings. Each club plays as close as possible to half away games and half home games, although the clubs with a better record in the previous season have one more home game than the others. Following the regular season, the top four clubs by win-loss record break to the playoffs. If there is a tie for fourth place, a special wild card game is played to determine the fourth seed in the playoffs. Two playoff games are played, one between the 1 and 4 seeds, and one between the 2 and 3 seeds. The victors of these two games compete in the Ranger Cup. | |||

For the first draft, clubs are given a certain number of "draft points", in order to give an advantage to clubs with poor performances in the last season and struggles with keeping a roster. The management of the clubs then rated the various draft-eligible players on a scale of 1-10, and the club's overall demonstrated interest in the various players was then translated into the allocation of the club's points. The club with the most points bid on each player drafted the player, with the exception that a club could only draft more than one player if every other club has drafted a player first. Players were also able to blacklist at maximum one club from drafting them. | |||
