Where Empire competed in the 2025-26 season: every tournament its teams played, the host city, how strong the event was, and what each team's record was there. It shows how far the club travels and the level of competition it takes on.
Elite, Premier, Competitive and Regional rate the strength of each event's field, from where it ranks nationally against every other tournament that season. An Elite event draws hundreds of teams from across the country; a Regional one is a local weekend.
