▓▓▓▓LEAGUE UNDERGROUND▓▓▓▓
▓▓▓▓▓SEASON 17 UPDATE ▓▓▓▓▓
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
*We understand that GLB is a business and needs to make money to sustain itself.
We are not discouraging others from buying flex or boosting their players.
In fact, most agents involved with League Underground actually do both.
What is League Underground?
Manually run league that creates it's own schedule and plays their games by scheduling scrimmages (friendlies)
How does it work?
It's pretty simple actually.
Every offseason, we set up the schedule for the upcoming season.
We release the schedule and have team owners for the home team send challenges to the visiting team.
Just like regular leagues, we play every other day.
When did it start?
The first season of League Underground started in Season 12.
Plans to develop the league started in Season 10.
How many leagues are there?
There are currently 4 leagues within League Underground.
LU1 is in it's 6th season and still going strong.
LU2 started in season 14.
LU3 (World League Underground) started in season 15.
LU4 just kicked off it's inaugural season
What do the winning teams get?
In the same way that tournament trophies are awarded, League Underground gives a trophy to the top three teams from each season.
Here are the trophy winners from last season:
LU1
1st - The Distrubed Ones http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7132
2nd - Soapland Raiders http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4939
3rd - Chicago Mad Scientists http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=3658
LU2
1st - Underground Empire http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1608
2nd - Gotland Gladiators http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=5065
3rd - Pele's Wrath http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=8408
LU3 (WLU)
1st - Justice league http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=5760
2nd - Casablanca Harem Girls http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=8158
Who runs League Underground?
There are a lot of active agents and owners in the league, but its mostly run by the following:
President: Loco Moco http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=141666
LU Commissioner: tjanderson321 http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=149384
LU2 Commissioner: jmt7 http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=96445
WLU Commissioner: kHarmaKillz DTD (aka Chris Layne) http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=231916
LU4 Commissioner: .spider. (aka jbleich) http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=88380
What are the advantages of this type of league?
♦ Rivalries - Since locked leagues are NGTH, League Underground must be run manually.
Because our games are set up with scrimmages, it doesn't matter what league each team is in.
All teams involved should be playing each other for 10+ seasons.
There are no team promotions or demotions.
♦ Level Playing Field - League rules have been established to ensure that all teams will get off to an equal start and develop at the same pace.
Because all teams are created equal, there are no gut jobs and each game is usually close.
♦ Cheaper Alternative - Instead of having a WR that boosts and doesn't get the ball that often, you could have a team in LU and get a lot more value for your flex. Also, you will never lose any flex on the players you create. Since they will not boost, you will get 100% returned upon retirement. Those agents who can't afford the more expensive players (HB, QB, WR, or even defense) can do so in the League Underground and enjoy having a prime-time player that gets good stats.
♦ Experiment - Instead of spending money (flex) to do something you're a little unsure of, you can test it out in the LU.
Many teams in the LU are built with rosters that aren't the GLB norm. Experimenting with rosters and builds on a boosting team could be considered a waste of flex, but in League Underground it's all for fun.
♦ Forum Activity - Most of the agents involved in League Underground are having fun and enjoying the rivalries and close games.
This has resulted in an active and fun forum.
♦ Less Work - While some agents greatly enjoy running an offense and defense with AI, there are plenty of available jobs out there to do so.
League Underground leveled the playing field even further by deciding to use basic settings only.
What are the rules?
1. Players will not boost
2. Players will not be wearing ANY custom equipment for League games
3. An agent can not be on more than two teams (unless otherwise approved by the Owner's Association)
4. All teams will use basic settings. This includes using a full playbook for any non-casual team.
5. A team owner can own ALL players on his team if he chooses.
6. All players must be created on or after the same day (Day 41).
7. All team avatars will also include a League Underground logo
8. Teams will not be allowed to use coaches
What is required from agents and owners?
♦ Agents - All we expect from the owners and agents of League Underground is a commitment to see it through.
We expect each league to stay together for 10+ seasons and it only works if those teams stay in tact.
♦ Owners - The owners of League Underground need to understand that their team will cost approximately 800 flex each season.
That's 400 for the team and up to 400 additional flex for scrimmages.
They also need to be active enough to accept and send scrimmages when required. (with the increase to 6 scrimmages at a time, this is very easy to do)
How do I get involved?
If you already have non-boosting players, there might be a few teams from each league that are looking for free agents during the offseason.
The best place to check for team needs is the Non-Boosting Teams Forum (the NBT) which anyone can get an invite to.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=3851972
We also have an open invite for anyone that wants access to any of the League Underground Forums.
Each league has it's own private forum.
If you want to see how we run things, just send a PM to Loco Moco or any of the commisioners listed above.
What's next?
We are always looking to forward to starting the next League Underground.
With that said, LU5 will start when there's enough interest to do so.
If you're at all interested in being an LU team owner, please let us know.
We keep an updated list of prospective owners and will contact you when we're ready to move forward.
*Thanks in advance for your interest in League Underground.
We hope those who read this will realize we've got a good thing going and will want to get involved.
We also look forward to helping everyone in GLB get even more for their flex than they already do!
Good luck in season 17!
