			The '''Rabastor Sports Federation football league system''' (or colloquially, the '''RSF pyramid''') describes the structure and inter-connectedness of football leagues within [[Rabastorian Union]] (RBU) nations. Not all RBU nations have a football league in the main pyramid, some are referred to as "Associate Members", and operate as a loosely connected group of their own, separate to the main pyramid.

	In addition to ~~these leagues~~, ~~Callistea and Akach have floated~~ the ~~possibility of establishing their own national leagues~~ (~~Radiant League and Ligue Akach respectively~~) ~~to be integrated into the pyramid, while the eight-team~~ [[~~Xiaolin Master League~~]] ~~– which primarily plays a~~ [[~~Xiaolin soccer\|local variant~~]] ~~of football – has been vying for integration into~~ the ~~pyramid~~, ~~with~~ the ~~requisite rule changes to follow~~. ~~The RSF is believed to think that these three associate members would be better off forming their own sub-~~pyramid, ~~which can feed into~~ the ~~main league pyramid via regular panel evaluation~~. ~~Their clubs would, however, be~~ permitted to ~~enter~~ the Rabastor Champions' Cup ~~without restriction~~.		==Rabastor Associate League==
			In addition to the main pyramid, the [[Federation Akachese de Football]] (FAF) operates [[Ligue Akach]] and the [[Ipa'elu System]] outside the integrated RSF league system, but also under the RSF umbrella. Ligue Akach was briefly considered part of the pyramid before the FAF withdrew, citing the complications raised by temporal differences. The FAF are still permitted to send up to eight teams to compete in the [[Rabastor Champions Cup]], however.

	==Relation to Cup ~~competitons~~==		Similarly, the eight-team [[Xiaolin Master League]] – which primarily plays a [[Xiaolin soccer\|local variant]] of football – is permitted to enter up to eight teams into the [[Rabastor Champions Cup]], competing under association football rules, though the Master League itself also operates outside the integrated RSF league system.
	A club's tier within the pyramid is almost always the determining factor when deciding which cup(s) they are eligible to enter, and the round(s) at which they enter the competition. As things stand, with the three cup system in place across RSF ~~controlled~~ leagues, the tiers align as follows:
			Marmaladaica does not have a professional football league, and as such, are not included in the pyramid, or among the Associate Leagues; however, should they establish a professional league, they would be granted the same privileges as the FAF.

			The Radiant League and Limey League are considered Associate Member leagues, too. From [[Rabastor Football League Season 15\|season 15]] onwards, it was agreed that their champions would be eligible for promotion to the RSF Challenge Premier League via a new playoff system{{efn\|name=Challenge playoffs}}, and if successful, be permitted earn promotion to the tiers above, and also to enter the Rabastor League Trophy like any other Challenge Premier side.

			==Relation to Cup competitions==

			With the exception of Callistean and Limey teams who gain admittance to the Rabastor Challenge Premier League, teams in Associate Member leagues contest the [[Rabastor Associate Members Plate]].
