Saturday August 30th, 2025
The 2025-26 Rugby Season is about to commence and it’s an exciting time for all with the Women’s World Cup in England playing second pool games today, the Rugby Championship in round 3 in the southern hemisphere, and northern hemisphere club games starting up.
In the Tri-State Conference teams will start play September 13th and the regular season will continue until the end of October followed by Conference playoffs and then postseason regional competition and the Fall National Championship sponsored by National Collegiate Rugby (NCR).
Each team needs to get a few tasks done right now in order to be able to play.
- Register your club with NCR;
- Register players with NCR (each player must do this as it involves signing waivers);
- Update your match secretary contact information on MatchFacts (the referee assignment website)
There are 2 websites that can assist you in doing these tasks:
You can book 15-minute appointments with NCR and this may help you get tasks done in a timely manner.
In addition the Tri-State Conference website has information that addresses administration needs and you should also make sure that your team contact information is up to date. Just go to:
https://www.tristaterugby.com/
Once your team, coach and players are registered you need to remember to contact your home game referees and provide details such as venue address, team colors, payment procedure, kick-off time and then get confirmation from the referee that he or she can do the game.
Please get on the registration tasks today so that your team is eligible for the 2025-26 season.
Thank you for your time and attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
Tony Brown
