This league has been a learning experience for me, and a humbling experience. Still I believe in the unique League Concept enough to not delete it or replace it. It's still probably a work-in-progress. That does not say it isn't Highly Competitive and Enjoyable!

2012 -- I mistakenly brought this league into existence as a PremiumPro league with an Entry Fee of $65. There was a LOT of EXTREME Consternation caused when unexpected repercussions arose from the League Concept. It became very apparent to me that Big Changes were in order. Sadly, or perhaps mercifully, the history of the league has been lost, except for an excerpt written by me afterwards:
"DC Cubs was the Top Team early, in this league's inaugural season, but it ended up just another league that Score Lords would go on to dominate. However, that is not to say this wasn't a heckuva competitive league! Score Lords had a .564 win%, his lowest. He was beaten in the first round by Vin Scullys Boys, and it was Rallymoonkey beating out Long Island in the end!
I did end up with at least 1 new GST Regular out of the league, and that alone was worth everything.

2013 -- The league was changed to the lowest level Pro League with an Entry Fee of $25, and the League Rules were somewhat extensively changed. The league expanded exponentially in size, so obviously the League Concept was embraced by most.
Regular Season Finish: 1. Denver Metropolitans 2. DC Cubs 3. Glassbreakers (Commish) 4. Rallymoonkeys 5. Waterloo Wildcats 6. Braves 2012 7. Screwballs 8. Big Red 9. Fort Worth Expos 10. Score Lords 11. Patty's Playpen 12. Buckshot 13. Dtownsluggers 14. Green Destiny 15. Votto B Better 16. NY Legend 17. Hopkin's Hustlers 18. LA Islander 19. Strong Island 20. Bogus
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Denver Metropolitans 2. Glassbreakers 3. DC Cubs 4. Rallymoonkeys 5. Braves 2012 6. Big Red 7. Screwballs 8. Waterloo Wildcats
Consternation wasn't totally eliminated, but the league ran smoothly enough. Denver Metropolitans won the Regular Season easily (well below .600 Win% though) and then rolled through the Playoffs to boot, getting stronger as he went -- totally CRUSHING me in the Playoffs. It was Very Competitive. Not counting Bogus, which took its rightly Last Place, the 19th Win% was .444 -- Very Respectable (probably unheard of outside GST)! Beyond that, 1 GM from here was to go on to become a GST Co-Commissioner -- a Blessing.

2014 -- The League Rules were changed fairly extensively once again, but the league ran smoothly -- with only some minor friendly consternation. This league seems to finally be falling into its place and becoming accepted (maybe even embraced?).
Regular Season Finish: 1. Votto B Better 2. Denver Metropolitans 3. DC Cubs 4. Triple Crown N Coke 5. Buck Shot 6. Glassbreakers (Commish) 7. Rallymoonkeys 8. Drunken Bastard 9. Dtownsluggers 10. Strong Island 11. Crosborne 12. Long Island Firedogs 13. Score Lords 14. Braves 2012 15. Pekin Dragons 16. Chase's Dreams 17. Big Red 18. Fort Worth Expos 19. Screwballs 20. Bogus
Championship Playoff Finsih: 1. Rallymoonkeys 2. Glassbreakers 3. Buck Shot 4. Votto B Better 5. Denver Metropolitans 6. DC Cubs 7. Triple Crown N Coke 8. Drunken Bastard
Denver Metropolitans used his momentum in the Regular Season, (though Votto caught him in the end), but this time fell in the Playoffs. No team was over .575 ever and the 19th Place Team (Last if you exclude Bogus, which we do) had a Win% of.449 and the 18th Place Team had a Win% of .463. It was chaos most of the year, especially at the end! Moon was to go to have his Best Year ever, and we should have noticed it here first! He will be returning to the Tournament of Champions after a 2 year absence. Buck Shot became our Highest Finishing Rally Team yet, 3rd Place after a couple of the earliest Bogus Roster Trades.

2015 -- We got a few New Teams, but mostly it was the Old Crew back for More!
Regular Season Finish: 1. Rallymoonkeys 2. Fort Worth Expos 3. DC Cubs 4. Glassbreakers (Commish) 5. Drunk Bastards 6. Braves 2012 7. Score Lords 8. Aek Larkenas 9. Triple Crown & Coke 10. Speedball 11. Downtownsluggers 12. Long Island Firedogs 13. Balls Deep 14. Big Red 15. Fire and Blood 16. Screwballs 17. Votto B Better 18. California Chrome 19. Bogus 20. Armstrng
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Aek Larkenas 2. Score Lords 3. Braves 2012 4. Glassbreakers 5. Rallymoonkeys 6. DC Cubs 7. Drunken Bastards 8. Fort Worth Expos
Rallymoonkeys used his momentum from last year to Top the league this year. He lost the lead several times, and never lead by much though. It's pretty rare that you will see the 7th and 8th seed battling it out in a GST Final! You have to give it to Aek Larkenas for doing it as a Rookie! Beating Score Lords, the Face of GST, even by a 9-8 Squeaker, is always Impressive! Looks like we have a Winner!
High Win%: .572 Low Win%: .388
