Major League Rugby is a North American rugby union league. It is sanctioned and part of World Rugby. MLR will be operating with 12 teams in 2023 compared to the original seven. The teams will play in Los Angeles and Dallas, with the possibility of one in Canada.
Major League Rugby's conference structure will allow for two conferences. Each conference will feature the top three teams in their division, and the winners of those conferences will meet in conference finals. Each conference will host a team once during the regular season. They will qualify for the playoffs if they win both conference finals.
The United States rugby community was the first to create the league. There were bids from several cities to become the league's initial franchises, including Los Angeles and Vancouver. However, those bids have not materialized as of yet. The league is expected to have three West Coast team in 2021. However, the league could expand to six West Coast teams in 2023.
In May, World Rugby announced that the men's World Cup will be hosted in the US in 2031. The 2032 host of the women's World Cup has been announced. This would allow the US men’s Eagles to still qualify for the 2023 World Cup, France.
MLR assisted in the sale of Los Angeles and Austin franchises. We hope to continue the growth and development of the sport at those locations. A franchise could also be formed in the Midwestern United States. There are currently no teams in the Midwest, however MLR indicated that there may be several.
Chicago, a possible Midwestern US city, has been considered. The previous owner of the city was a PRO Rugby franchise. He is currently trying to bid for an MLR Franchise. He has 90 days to submit his terms and conditions and must meet league expansion benchmarks. Major League Rugby accepted his initial application regardless of whether he meets the criteria.
The franchise buyin price as of 2019 is $4,000,000. This will cover the league's expenses in the first two years. The league will allow teams to draft players of the folded teams during this time. About thirty percent of these players will be imported.
The collegiate draft is set to take place in 2020. The collegiate draft will allow players to take part after they have completed three college years. A single table format will be used for the first two seasons of the new league. In the future, the league may move to a more challenging schedule that includes two or three games against other conferences and a home-and-away match against the other conference.
Major League Rugby will open a new franchise in Chicago in 2023. It will be the league’s inaugural club in the Midwestern United States and will provide competition for the region. There are also potential locations for future franchises in the Bay Area, Las Vegas and Vancouver.

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping (also known as free-fall parachuting) is a sport where participants jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), such as bridges, towers, buildings, etc., without any equipment attached to them. Jumping off an object is done by the participant. The parachute then helps them land safely. It is similar in nature to skydiving. You don't need a parachute and you don’t need to hold your breath until it opens.
A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit is made of two pieces of fabric sewn together. One piece covers chest and arms, while the second one covers the legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. These suits can be quite loud and heavy.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. Learn how to BASE Jump. Be aware of the risks. You could fall off a cliff or hit an obstacle upside-down or head-on. Or you could collide with another jumper. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. Watch out for weather conditions. Avoid jumping when the wind is not blowing in your face. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. Make sure you have the proper gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone to watch over you.
