What is the GUPL?

  • Open to any team in Georgia (college, club, group of church friends) or the greater ATL area
  • The season will run 10 weeks from October - December
  • Teams sign up and are grouped by strength into leagues of 5 teams
  • Levels will be added for however many teams sign up
  • You play 4 home and 4 away games within your division
  • At the end of the season the top place team is promoted to the division above theirs for the following season
  • Similarly the bottom placed team is relegated to the division below at the end of the season
  • Games will be Saturday or Sunday unless agreed upon otherwise by the two captains and the commissioner
  • Once a player plays for a team they can't play for another for the rest of the season
  • Roster cap of ~24
  • Roster minimum of 14
  • To retain your spot in your earned division for the next season you need to retain 50% of your roster
  • Only Men's and Women's divisions, no Mixed (there may be a mixed league in the spring with no Men's or Women's divisions at that time)
  • Games will be scheduled at the start of the season, teams are responsible for finding their own "home" field
  • Cost will be a $400 registration deposit that is at least partially refundable at the end of the season to incentivize attending all away games.
  • Gender definitions will be consistent with USAU's, we will call them "Men's" and "Women's" this is out of ease and not any kind of statement
  • This is an amateur competition and not a financial venture. The intent is to provide a competitive environment for a greater array of skill levels and encourage the growth of club identity.
