If there are not enough teams for a particular day we will inform teams so they may make other playing arrangements. The following division options have lasted more than two seasons Tuesday Open D3 Tuesday O30 D2c/D3 Wednesday Open D3/D4 Wednesday Over 30 mix skills Thursday Open D2c/3a Thursday Over 30 D2a/b Sunday Open D2 Sunday Open O30 D3 Sometimes we have enough teams for a particular day but skills and division preferences don't match. Please indicate if you'd like to be moved to 50/50 for the following reasons (choose all that apply): Skill level too low Skill level too high Skill based division requires Open and Over-30 teams to play each other How skilled and competitive is your team?*Please accurately describe your team. Teams who have many lopsided results in their favor due to skill misrepresentation may be moved to tougher divisions and be rescheduled. Also note some days of play are not available for very high or low skilled teams. Check the FAQs page to see when divisions are offered so you can recruit accordingly. Level of Competition desired | Skill | rough RATS division correspondence Highly Competitive | Skilled players, usually some college experience | D1 Competitive | Many skilled players | D2 D2a Moderately Competitive | Moderate skill level across team | D2 D2b Mildly Competitive | Mixed skills team with some skilled players | low D2, high D3 Recreational/Play mostly for fun | Overall low level of skill | D3 Beginner | Majority of team newer to soccer | D4 Over-30 Team?*Over-30 (O-30) teams are teams whose players are 30 (or turn 30 this year) and above, with 2 exempt players, who may be any age. If you fail to follow these rules, you will lose two games and be moved to the open division. Any Over-30 division will be created if there is enough interest. An Over-30 team will be placed in Open if there is not enough interest in Over-30 for their day of play or skill level. Coed Over 30 is offered Sunday - Thursday Men's Over 30 is offered Tuesday There is no women's Over 30, but please continue to indicate eligibility for tracking My team is ELGIBLE and would like to play in an O-30 Division My team is NOT ELGIBLE to play in an O-30 Division My team is ELGIBLE to play in an O-30 Division but NOT INTERESTED Over-40 Team?*We don't have an established an Over 40 division yet, nor have we determined age eligibility (i.e., how many U40 players will be allowed). If over half your team is Over 40 you may indicate your team is eligible and would like to play in an O40 league. If there are enough teams on your day of play we may create an informal Over 40 division. Currently Thursday shows the greatest possibility for an informal O40 division. My team is ELGIBLE and would like to play in a mostly O40 Division My team is NOT ELGIBLE to play in a mostly Over 40 Division Day of Play - Women's*Please choose your preferred day below: Sunday Tuesday Day of Play - Men's*You indicated your team's skill level is D4. D4 is still a division we are trying to grow, so it is possible it will be mixed with D3 teams Tuesday Day of Play - Men's*You indicated your team's skill level is D3. If you are an Over 30 team, choose Tuesday to play O30 Monday Tuesday Day of Play - Men's*You indicated your team's skill level is a higher skilled D3 or lower skilled D2. D3 Men's is available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday D2 Men's is available on Tuesday and Wednesday.

D4 is for teams that are roughly 80% beginning level players and not for new teams of skilled or mix skilled players (D3 is a better start). If you are a D4 team that cannot play on Wednesday, please go back and choose D3 for your skill level. There typically aren't enough D4 teams for its own division and it is usually mixed with D3 Wednesday Day of Play - Co-ed*Division 1 is only available on Monday. Monday Day of Play - Co-ed* Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Day of Play - Co-ed 60/40*60/40 distribution coed is only offered on the following days. Sunday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Division size and parity (optional)This is a question we ask in winter, however it helps to know your teams preference each season as we decide division size and format. Would you prefer variety over parity (possibly more lopsided games) or parity over variety (possibly playing the same teams 3-4 times a season). Lower division teams' preference for parity over variety is weighted heavier than upper division teams' preference for variety, since they are always on the losing end of the lopsidedness. Variety over parity (more teams to play) Parity over variety (play same teams 3-4 times) Team Location and Time Preferences We do our best to accommodate preferences, but we are limited by many variables, including field availability, opponent preferences, bye scheduling, and other restrictions. We cannot guarantee any games or bye weeks.Please choose your team's preferred region*You must choose at least one area but may choose more. Locations are not guaranteed. Game locations are based on a number of factors, including field supply, opponent field preference, and time preferences. North Seattle South Seattle Eastside West Seattle Which "North"?*North Seattle is the preferred region of around 90% of teams, but field distribution isn't 90% north. Please choose a specific "north" region. This does not guarantee your games will be at the specific fields since we may only use what we have been allocated. It gives schedulers a better idea of your location preferences, and when possible we try to place your games at these more specific fields.
