USA Season : 2019 (Rounds 1 to 10)

This competition was slow to get proper coverage at the official site, but information can be found on a Wiki page entitled '2019 USARL Season' if you wish to follow it from there. Otherwise, yours truly will also be doing periodic updates although not as often as the Wiki one.

Here are the games so far. Blue shading is for the Northern Conference and yellow the Southern one. In the south, one game in round three was called off due to weather and will be replayed at a later date. In rounds 1 and 5, the SW Florida team fielded ineligible players and lost their two points on each occasion (four in total). Round 6 also had a bad weather cancellation, in this instance Jacksonville are awarded the two points and a 30-0 scoreline. In round 7 yet again weather intervened in a game and what the outcome of that is yet to be stated.

In round 8, two games were not played and the matches forfeited so two 30-0 results. With weather, ineligible players and no-shows, this has been a trying season. Hopefully the administrators have things in hand. For round 9, another fixture was not completed due to weather.

The season ended with matches not played not counted. In addition, teams that were deducted points were in some cases losing four points. I found that very unusual but have run with their system. As it turns out, it makes no difference to how the teams line up in the finals. The Atlanta Rhinos pulled out of the SCF series and the only side in that region not to take part.

For the tables, see below. A pink shading means a game was forfeited. Orange points deducted for ineligible players, green the match to be replayed (hopefully) and for the Southern Conference, blue denotes a bye.
