Fall 2015 Competition

Changes and improvements included in newly released schedule

The 2015 SCRC 15s championship competition schedule has been released and includes some significant changes.

Divisional Format

SCRC teams will continue to play in the divisional format but some but some changes were required due to the fact that LSU has decided to pursue a different conference alignment for 15s.Beginning this fall, LSU will be competing in the Red River Conference for 15s but will continue to maintain a associate membership with the Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference to retain other services.

To balance the number of teams in each division, Florida has agreed to move to the West and will compete in that division this fall.  And, each conference team now has two cross over matches.

Additionally, the conference has moved away from the two games in one weekend format to determine a conference champion.  At the conclusion of the regular season the #2 seed from each division will travel to the #1 seed of the other division.  Then, the following weekend the winner will meet at a location yet to be determined for the conference championship final.
