RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /index.php?p=$1&game=$2&division=$3

Have you tried a simple rewrite to include www or force no www? What are the permissions and ownership on the file and is your apache config file set to allow override?

So, have you checked if mod_rewrite is enabled on your web server? Stop and start your web server to get any changes made to httpd.conf to take effect.
