Volume 7, Issue 22

It's hard to believe, but the end of our spring season is already upon us!! This is a busy weekend of football, so be sure to read all the details below! We don't want you to miss any of the action!


We're excited to see all our players (and hopefully your friends and family) at the fields on Saturday for our Rhody Bowl Playoffs! Games start promptly at 8am (not 8:30 like the regular season) and will go until around 3pm.


Following the games on Saturday night, be sure to join us at Dark Lady for our traditional end-of-season Wig Out Party! Wear your best hairdo, and get ready to cheer for several of your friends who will be joining the Dark Lady drag queens for a special production of Grease!


On Sunday, join us at G Pub from 12-2pm for our end of season banquet, where we'll give out team and league awards.


Read below for more details about this exciting weekend!

Final Standings & Playoff Bracket

Here's a reminder of where we stand as we head into the playoffs.

Rhody Bowl Bracket and First Round Matchups

The fight for the Rhody Cup is a single-elimination tournament. We encourage you to stay at the fields for the entire day and cheer on your football family as the tournament field is narrowed down. We encourage you to bring snacks and drinks as the games will start early and end late.

Substance Free Reminder

Please remember that, in accordance with our Code of Conduct, no one may play if they're under the influence of alcohol or any other substance. If you choose to 'partake' after you are done playing for the day, please do so discretely (no cans or bottles) and be sure to clean up before you leave the fields.


Please also remember that if you're going to smoke or vape, you must do so away from the fields.

Sportsmanship Reminder

Please also remember that sportsmanship comes first, even during the playoffs. We ask for everyone's help in maintaining a fun and welcoming atmosphere throughout the playoffs.

Women's+ Invitational Tournament Details

Everyone who registered for the Women's+ summer season or the Women's+ Pride Bowl team has now received an email from the Board, with details about the first ever PVDGFFL Women's+ Invitational Tournament. Please check your emails and be sure to register ASAP!


This event is only open to players who registered for the summer season or Pride Bowl teams, and their 'plus one' guests. The tournament is capped at the first 60 registrants. We will have a waitlist in case any registered player needs to drop.
