of the sport of Rollerball both professional and amateur. This shall include, but is not
limited to: team ownership and management; stadium construction, ownership and
maintenance; minor league development and promotion; education, advertising and
promotion of Rollerball; staffing and management of teams and venues; player

Corporation, and the Communications Corporation). The position of Director of
Rollerball, shall be rotated each year between the CEO's of our Corporate Sponsors
B. League Structure: In its inaugural season of play, Major League Rollerball
shall establish twenty-four (24) clubs divided into two (2) Conferences: the Global
Rollerball Conference (GRC) and the World Rollerball Conference (WRC). Each
conference shall contain twelve (12) clubs divided into three (3) Corporate Divisions of
four (4) clubs. Each division shall be owned and overseen by a single Corporate
Sponsor and shall be named for its Corporate Sponsor. Each club in each division shall
be wholly owned and overseen by a Corporate Sponsor or its subsidiaries.
 C. League Match-ups: The inaugural season shall be a double round-robin of
twenty-two (22) rounds with each club alternating home and away. There shall be no
inter-conference games played during the inaugural regular season. Divisional rivals
shall play each other once at home and once away for a total of six (6) divisional
games. Conference opponents shall also play each other once at home and once away
for a total of sixteen (16) games. Inter-conference matches may be organized between
clubs after the completion of the play-offs and before the start of the pre-season. The
pre-season training and try-out session shall commence no later than March 1st of each
year. The regular season shall commence no later than April 1st of each year and shall
conclude no later than the final week of August each year. The play-offs shall conclude
by October 1st of each year. A player draft shall be scheduled for the first weekend in
February of each year.
D. Points System: Following the completion of each round of play, teams shall
be awarded three (3) points in the standings for a win , including overtime (sudden
death) victories, and one (1) point for an over-time (sudden death) loss. In all games, a
sudden death overtime period with no time limit shall be employed till a goal is earned
by either team. No points shall be awarded for a loss otherwise. No additional points
shall be awarded for any other in-game achievements such as three (3) or more goals
scored by a single player (hat-trick) or assists, etc.
E. Tie Breaks: Ties between two clubs of the same division shall be broken by
comparing their divisional record, then their conference record, and then their head-to-
head record, goal differentials, and finally total goals scored. For seeding the play-offs,
the same criteria except divisional records shall be compared, in the event of an
irresolvable tie, a coin flip shall determine the which team qualifies for the play-offs.

Article II: World Championship

A. The Playoffs: At the conclusion of the regular season, four (4) teams from
each conference shall be seeded into a tournament to determine the World
Championship of Rollerball. Each of the three (3) divisional winners plus the second-
place team with the most points from each conference (wild card) shall play for the
Conference Title and the right to face the opposing conference's champion for the World
Championship in a best-of-three series. The runners-up from each of the Conference
Title matches shall also play-off for third place. The Third Place game shall be played
before the second game of the Championship Series. The World Championship Series
and the Third Place Match shall be played at a neutral site pre-selected by the
Directorate before the start of the Regular Season and shall alternate between the
Global Conference and World Conference clubs on a yearly rotation.

season.

Article III: Expansion, Invitation, Promotion, and Relegation

A. Expansion & Invitation: Our Corporate Sponsors, depending on their
management decisions, may unanimously vote at the conclusion of each season to
expand MLR by invitation to any existing minor league club or by expansion into a new
market by creating new clubs. However, MLR shall not contract to fewer than twenty-
four (24) clubs. Expansion shall always be balanced to ensure an even schedule.
B. Promotion & Relegation: At the conclusion of the Regular Season and
Playoffs, our Corporate Sponsors shall determine by unanimous vote which clubs shall
be promoted from the minor leagues and which clubs shall be relegated from Major
League Rollerball to play in the minor leagues. The number of teams to be promoted or

all minor league clubs. Player assets shall be protected with recovery and rehabilitation
when possible. Minor league players can be promoted and demoted freely within a
Corporate Sponsor's minor league system throughout the entire MLR Regular Season
and Playoffs to ensure full rosters for all Major League clubs. No minor league games
shall be scheduled or exhibitions played during the Major League Playoffs and all minor
league players shall be available for immediate promotion if necessary.

Article IV: Player Draft

Corporate Sponsors shall conduct a player draft. Each of our six major Corporate
Sponsors shall each pick in turn, based on lottery selection, for unlimited rounds until all
eligible players are selected or our Corporate Sponsors have determined that the Draft
is complete.
