STANDINGS

Teams and players...


To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the United States Football League, I will be replaying the 1984 spring season when the league was at its highest point with 18 teams. (Too bad the league got sabataged in 1985 by an overzealous Donald Trump).

This is a 1 vs. 1 tourney and I plan to play 2 games each week. I expect the tournament to run from mid-May through mid-August.
Open to premium and freemium players both.
The regular-season is 18 games with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs. Regular season games are simple head-to-head showdowns played according to the real 1984 USFL schedule. The playoffs will feature a more intense format with a quarter-by-quarter scoring system. Each playoff game will consist of 4 CC games, 5 if it goes overtime.

To sign up pick a team and choose your homefield settings...map, cards, forts and fog.
All games are sequential. Banned maps include Age of Might and Age of Magic.

All right everyone, we have the full 18 teams...I still hope to get 3-5 reserve players so spread the word.

I will put in for priveledges tonight, but will be out of town this weekend, so the first set of games will most likely go out late Sunday night.

Just curious how many people here remember the USFL...I used to sneak into my parents room on a sunny Saturday afternoon to watch games on their black and white TV...I was 10 or 11 years old and thought it was just great to have football all year.

My favorite team was the Gamblers and of course the Breakers when they moved to Portland for one season (1985)...too bad it went down, I think it could have gained a strong hold with some minor changes and sticking to the spring schedule. Oh well.

Ughhh...my beach trip was followed with an unexpected hospital stay, but I should be able to get us started with games late tonight...I'm looking forward to getting this league going...

First games have been sent out...Game 2s will go out Saturday.

I will update this thread with a standings table and a full-season schedule late tonight.
