Now, read below for my hypothetical trophy history if the rules had been different...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hypothetical Trophy History
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I did this out of a labor of love for stats...
To unearth the facts about the once famed (?) trophy that is now the black sheep to some of the GLB WL community, a cup which confuses many...
Many contend that the PTT should not exist anymore. It makes no sense now that there's a World League and a Pro level, etc...
Gart (and others) theorized that THE Trophy should be defended with each game that the holder plays.
Be forewarned this is long, but if you follow along it all comes together......
Ladies and Gentlemen (well, mostly Gentlemen)...
I give you the History of the Pro Traveling Trophy
========================================================================================================
West Scranton wins the trophy beating the Halifax explosion 35-17 on 4/4/09 to win the Tournament of champions and the initial trophy.
04/4/09 West Scranton 35 - 17 Halifax Explosion http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=471690

Now, read below for my hypothetical trophy history if the rules had been different...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hypothetical Trophy History
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I did this out of a labor of love for stats...
To unearth the facts about the once famed (?) trophy that is now the black sheep to some of the GLB WL community, a cup which confuses many...
Many contend that the PTT should not exist anymore. It makes no sense now that there's a World League and a Pro level, etc...
Gart (and others) theorized that THE Trophy should be defended with each game that the holder plays.
Be forewarned this is long, but if you follow along it all comes together......
Ladies and Gentlemen (well, mostly Gentlemen)...
I give you the History of the Pro Traveling Trophy
========================================================================================================
West Scranton wins the trophy beating the Halifax explosion 35-17 on 4/4/09 to win the Tournament of champions and the initial trophy.
04/4/09 West Scranton 35 - 17 Halifax Explosion http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=471690
