The Imperan Rugby is the immediate sucessor of the Tri-Nations agreement. After the disband of previous board, the new terms of the rugby organization in the Imperan League were proposed at a meeting held in Gast, Aristian Republic, shortly after the June tests.
One union, two tiers
Taking into account the difference of organization, media and money intake between the two NSRB nations and the other nations, it was decided to establish a two-tier system. Tier 1 will be permanently composed by Lisander and Alice Bay, while Grand Merina, Lorenthia, Aristian Republic and Ariannin will be part of Tier 2.
A special type of promotion and relegation
In order to allow lesser-known nations to evolve at their own pace, but having contact with the more expressive nations, a promotion system has been defined where the best Tier 2 nation will play matches against Tier 1 nations.
The Imperan Cup and the IRU Trophy
The Imperan Cup is the most important tournament of Imperan Rugby. It will be held anually, during the test season, between the Irises, the Crux and the IRU Trophy Champion. Champion and runner-up retain its NSRB privileges, and third-placed is relegated to Tier 2 for the next season.
The IRU Trophy will follow the same system. The four nations play in a Round Robin tournament and the champion is qualified to the next Imperan Cup.
