Format
The season structure for each of RGL's divisions varied. Invite was the only division to sport a 10 week main season, whilst Advanced, Main, Intermediate, and Open demonstrated a 7 week main season. Invite, Advanced, and Main used a 4-team Gauntlet System playoff structure whereas Intermediate used a 8-team double-elimination swiss system and Open used a 8-team single-elimination swiss system.
Invite
The Invite division of RGL Highlander Season 1 sported the biggest differences in comparison to the remainder of the league. Invite used a double-round robin structure consisting of a 10 week main season and a 3 week gauntlet playoff structure. This structure enabled each team in Invite to go against each other twice. Invite used koth_product_rc9, pl_upward, and cp_steel as the only solidified maps, with the remaining 7 weeks of the main season using a Pick/Ban structure for map selection in alternation of gamemodes. All playoff matches were played as a Best-of-3, using the aforementioned Pick/Ban process with maps that both teams had in common.
