Major League Rugby is a North American rugby union league. It is sanctioned annually by USA Rugby, and is part World Rugby. MLR will host 12 teams in 2023 as opposed to seven in 2018. The teams will play in Dallas and Los Angeles, with the possibility of another 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. If a team wins both conference finals, they will qualify for the playoffs.
The United States rugby team was the original founders of the league. Los Angeles and Vancouver had both bid to be the first franchises of the league. However, the bids have not been accepted. The league is expected to have three West Coast team in 2021. However, the league could expand to six West Coast teams in 2023.
World Rugby announced the 2031 hosting of the men’s World Cup in America in May. The women's World Cup is scheduled for 2032. This would mean that the US men's Eagles have one last chance to qualify for the 2023 World Cup in France.
MLR has worked with the sale of the Austin and Los Angeles franchises and hopes to continue the growth of the sport in those locations. There are also opportunities to start a franchise in the Midwestern United States. Currently, there are no teams in the midwest, but MLR has indicated that there are several potential locations.
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 complete his application and meet the league expansion benchmarks. Whether he does or not, Major League Rugby has accepted his initial application.
As of 2019, the franchise buy in price is $4,000,000. This amount will pay for the expenses of the league in the first two year. During this time, teams will be allowed draft players from folding teams. Around thirty percent will be imported.
2020 will see the commencement of the collegiate draft. After completing three years of college, players will be eligible for participation. There will be one table format for the initial two years of this new league. The league will likely change to a more varied schedule eventually, with two or 3 games against opponents from within the conference and a home/away against the other.
Major League Rugby's new Chicago franchise will be open in 2023. It will become the league's first Midwestern United States team and open the door to competition in the region. Other potential locations for a future franchise include Sacramento, the Bay Area, Las Vegas, and Vancouver.

You can learn windsurf anywhere you are located, at any age. This can be accomplished in several ways: online courses, classes or joining a club. Windsurfing Schools UK allows you to search for courses in your area.
Your body must be able to handle windsurfing's demands. Your body must be able to perform basic movements like walking, running, jumping, climbing stairs, and bending down without pain. After a few hours windsurfing, you will likely feel sore if the weight of your body is too high. Once you have decided whether you are physically ready, you can choose which type or windsurfing equipment that you would like to use. Some prefer to learn windsurfing on a traditional sailing board, while others prefer to use the kiteboard. It all depends on the conditions in which you intend to practice.
Once you decide what type of windsurfing gear you want, you can begin practicing your new sport. Start slowly and go upwind on flatwater, then work your way toward waves. Strong winds can cause damage to your sails, so it is best to avoid them when you start out. Once you are comfortable sailing on flat water you can start to move onto choppy waters. Be sure to learn how you can rescue yourself if you get into trouble while windsurfing in rough seas.
