The regular season consists of 7 rounds of competition happening every two weeks between August and November. Based on win-loss record, then point deferential, then total points, four teams will then move on the playoffs in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The playoffs consist of a round-robin semifinal round, with each team competing against one another. After ranking the results from those rounds, the top two teams will compete for the championship and the bottom two teams will compete for third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Trial league (NTL) is a new trial competition format that will provide multiple chances for students to hone their trial skills in a competitive, fast paced, online setting throughout the academic semester and creates opportunities for schools to compete outside the traditional weekend tournament structure. NTL features 14 trial teams competing against each other in a season format that resembles a traditional sports league with 2 conferences made up of 7 teams each.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regular season starts on Aug. 26, 2025 and will continue until November 11, 2025. Throughout the three months of competition, teams will compete in 7 different rounds with 6 different fact patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
