Format Changes
This season of CRL introduces a couple of changes to its format this fall, across both the qualifiers and playoffs.
New Season Format and Key Information
- The 2023 CRL Fall Semester will feature 32 teams total, 16 from each North American Conference (Eastern and Western)

Same School Qualifier
New to this season, schools with more than two teams will be required to compete in a double-elimination, qualifier bracket to determine the top two teams to represent the school.
These two teams will then compete in the CRL Open Qualifiers.
