League Headquarters · Founded 2013 · 10 Managers
The fantasy platform keeps the rosters. This keeps everything else — who won, who never has, what we agreed to, and the twenty-one thousand messages we have sent each other since September 2017.
This league does not hand out a trophy you can put on a shelf. It hands out a GroupMe display name. Win, and you rename yourself. Lose badly enough, and you rename yourself for that too. Every name below was one somebody actually chose for themselves.

“One more day to start what will hopefully be my first championship and win the belt.”
Clayton · 6 September 2023
Confirmed sightings: Keith went to Disney to celebrate his (2024-01-03). Craig has a championship banner his kids came to look at (2025-12-31). Josh has won it, “but it’s been a while” (2026-07-14). Somebody who joined in 2015 was still chasing his first as of 2024-12-29.
And the standing proposal, from the commissioner, 1 August 2025: “I’m bringing a little plastic kids table and if you haven’t won a championship yet you have to eat at it.”
On 6 September 2023 the commissioner wrote: “This is the 11th season. I think it’s time we figure out a bad yet reasonable punishment for whoever gets last place. However EVERYONE has to agree.” Everyone has never agreed. Five years of proposals:
Still unresolved. It is, at this point, the tradition.
Deliberately empty. Fourteen seasons of results live on the fantasy platform and in people’s memories, and none of it has been imported yet. Nothing is invented here — a record book with made-up numbers is worse than no record book.

What it would take — narrowed down
The league has been on Yahoo the whole time, which is the good case: the results exist. The obstacle is that Yahoo issues a new league ID every season. 2026 is 147240; that same number in 2025 belongs to a stranger’s league and answers “you are not in this league.”
So the archive is reachable, but only by walking the chain of past-season IDs one year at a time. One prior-season URL is enough to start; the rest follows from it. Seasons 1–4 (2013–2016) also predate this GroupMe entirely, so for those years Yahoo is the only witness.
Only the rules the chat actually confirms. Everything else is unwritten, which is exactly the problem a constitution page exists to fix.
