Rugby Ohio will remain Rugby Ohio after a compromise solution was reached between the State Rugby Organization and its oversight group, USA Youth & High School.
A hearing was scheduled for today, January 9, to discuss the fact that Rugby Ohio (like some other SROs) was not in compliance with World Rugby rules because the organization did not have free and democratic elections for seats on its Board.
Efforts by USAYHS to rectify that were met, initially, with some foot-dragging, but, according to sources, this has all been addressed.
Rugby Ohio will hold elections within a couple of weeks. The elections will be accomplished via one club-one vote. There may be a regional aspect to some of the board seats.
