ELITE DIVISION

---

The Elite Division is a competitive variation of Division 3, created by USXBL with one clear purpose: to keep players involved in the sport they love, even after ranking out of traditional NXL Division 3 play. As player classifications continue to evolve, the Elite Division provides a balanced, competitive environment for experienced athletes who still belong in a high-level amateur setting.

In the Elite Division, players with up to 1,200 classification points are eligible to compete. This allows skilled competitors to remain active without being forced into divisions that may not yet match their current team structure or competitive goals.

Roster rules for the Elite Division follow NXL Division 3 drop-down guidelines to ensure fairness and consistency across competition. Teams may roster any number of Division 3 or lower players, plus one of the following options:

PER NXL RULE BOOK 4.84 ROSTER LIMITATIONS

• Up to two Division 2 players, or
   
• Up to one Division 2 player and one Semi-Pro player with a classification rating no higher than 2,952, provided the combined classification rating of the top two players on the roster does not exceed 3,936.
   

These parameters allow teams to remain competitive while preventing roster stacking and preserving the integrity of divisional play.

The USXBL Elite Division reflects a commitment to smart growth within the sport—offering flexibility, competitive balance, and a clear pathway for players to continue competing at a level that fits their experience and progression.
