How Matchday 2 Works

1

Who plays

All club members and all divisions — P1, P2, M1, Women’s (where a conference has enough teams) and M2: Minor B, C, D, E, F & G squads. This is the day to bring everybody and earn group points and climb the standings.

2

How matches are scheduled

Each team plays approximately 4–6 matches. First: divisional group opponents within your conference. Then: conference teams closest in competitive level — which may be the same division or a nearby one. If slots remain, teams may be scheduled against clubs two divisions away.

3

The M1 rule

A P1/P2 club cannot qualify for the Top Championship Bracket unless it fields an M1 team at Matchday 2. Bring your full club.

Your conference, your date — the club list is on the home page, and live scores run on ASL Squads.

Why is Matchday 2 important?

Matchday 2 is the largest participation event of the season and plays a major role in:
• Group standings
• Team Elo movement
• Playoff qualification
• Club development
• Conference competition

How do Matchday 2 forfeits affect P1 and P2 standings?

P1 & P2 FORFEITS — If a P1 or P2 club participated in Matchday 1 but does not participate in Matchday 2, any matches it would have played as part of its Conference Matchday 2 schedule will be recorded as forfeits.

Qualifying Matches: Only matches the absent team was scheduled to play as part of its Conference Matchday 2 schedule qualify. The absent club receives 0 points and each scheduled opponent receives a win and 3 points. These results count toward the standings, which will be based on points per match.

How do Matchday 2 forfeits affect Minor standings?

MINOR DIVISION FORFEITS — A Minor forfeit will be recorded if a club participated with a Minor team at Matchday 1 but does not bring a Minor team to Matchday 2, or if its P1/P2 team participates at Matchday 2 without a Minor team.

Only matches that would have been played against the missing Minor team as part of the Conference Matchday 2 schedule qualify.

For each qualifying forfeit, 3 points are awarded to the opposing club's Minor A team, or to a Minor B team that participated in both Matchday 1 and Matchday 2.

If a club splits its Minor A-level talent between two Minor squads, both squads receive 3 points for the applicable forfeit.
