Aquatova is a fictional country, much like the United States. There are three levels of football in the land of Aquatova. In order from lowest to highest is: High School, College, and Professional. More info on each league below...

High School:
The high school season is 8 games (Weeks) long, followed by a championship game between two conferences if both parties agree, This is the ninth, and last possible regular season game for any team.

Although the schools are classified (A, AA, AAA, or AAAA) based on their student enrollment, all schools are elligable to compete against any other school regardless of class. This rule applies to regular season and post season, this gives us the opportunity to dub one state champion. The best team will prevail, regardless of school size.

The state of Vaughnland is divided into two sections, or Districts. The districts are determined by location in the state, The Northern division, and the southern division. Teams will compete in a post season playoff pitting the top 8 northern teams against each other, and the top 8 southern teams against each other. The top team in the north, will go on to play the top team in the South for the State Championship.

The winner of the State Championship Qualifies for the National Tournament. The tournament has teams represented from each of the 16 states who will play in a single elimination tournament to declare a national Championship. Seeding for the national tournament will be randomized.

COLLEGE:
College athletics take place under the watchful eye of the ACAA, or the Aquatova Collegiate Athletic Association. Currently, there are 32 teams competing for the national championship, but that number fluctuates all the time, as some years there have been up to 70 schools competing, and other years, there have been 20.

The ACAA is composed of a number of conferences, the conferences, much like the league itself, fluctuate with the teams entering and leaving the league. The Power conferences, tend to be harder to gain access to unless a school has proven its worth. Many Schools choose to be independent until they can first decide if they can support a stable football program, and secondly, prove that they have the skill to hang with the big boys.

At the end of the season, the top teams are invited to a national tournament. the number of teams invited is dependant on the mumber of teams competing in a given year.

PROFESSIONAL:
The AFA (Aquatova Football Association) is currently composed of 12 teams. the teams are all in one league with no conferences or divisions. Each team will play each other team one time in the regular season, and the top four teams will make it to the league playoffs.

At the completion of the season, the league Champion will be entered into a tournament where they will compete with the championship teams from 15 other nations, these nations being:

United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, China, Australia, South Korea, Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain, France, Thailand, South Africa, and India.

The winner of this single elimination tournament will be crowned world Champions.
