Breakdown of the 2022 Season and Conference Divisions.
The NVA is proud to announce more exciting news regarding
the 2022 season, including a new league structure with divisions and an
all-star match! The National and American Conferences have been split into four
divisions with three teams each, totaling twelve teams. The regular-season
matches will now feature both interdivisional, interconference, and
cross-conference play spreading across five-season events (two more than the
year before). The new layout opens the door for a more competitive rankings
system that utilizes your overall record and accumulated ‘NVA Points’ to
determine qualification and seeding for the playoffs.
The four divisions are set as follows:
During the regular season, each team will play:
- Two teams in their division twice
- Three matches against the opposing division in
their conference, and then
- Three more matches against one of the divisions
from the opposite conference
Altogether, each team will play ten matches, competing for
the best overall record of their divisions. The team with the top record in
their respective division will automatically qualify for the playoffs. The
following two teams within that conference with the best overall record will
also qualify for the playoffs regardless of division. Four teams from each
conference will be represented in the playoffs, similar to 2021.
On top of the extended regular season, the NVA is also
planning its first-ever All-Star Game! During Event 5, the NVA will bring
together the top performers of the regular season to compete for an exhibition
featuring some of the top talent in the world in one match!
Make sure to get all the NVA’s scheduled events down in your
calendars, so you don’t miss any action this season! With new team rivalries
established from last year’s competition, fans can expect big show-outs for
match-ups such as Freedom vs. Stingers, Stunners vs. Tyrants, Blaze vs.
Matadors, Sasquatch vs. Kraken, and Untouchables vs. Exposure. Come back to the
