RLCS 2021/22 season format

The RLCS 2021/22 will have three splits just like RLCS X divided as Fall, Winter and Spring Splits. 

The Fall Split will have a 16-team Swiss format leading to an eight-team single-elimination bracket, the Winter Split will have a four-group Group Stage that will lead to a double-elimination bracket and the Spring Split will have a good ol’ double-elimination bracket.
