*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.
Each season that this league succeeds should generate almost $300 for GLB.
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 planning process for developing League Underground started back in Season 10 with the efforts of Loco Moco and tjanderson321.
How many leagues have there been?
There have been 5 leagues within League Underground.
The original started in season 12 and had eight strong seasons
The other 4 were staggered in later seasons and are only resetting to take advantage of the opportunity to have unified super league of 40+ teams.
League Underground has since re-set and have one league going that started season 29.
We are looking to start another league up for both casual and regular teams.
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.

2nd - http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll81/jonbaker22/th_RLU2ndPlace.gif
3rd - http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll81/jonbaker22/th_RLU3rdPlace.gif
Note - We have had trophies made and ready to go, but since the brass doesn't allow leagues like ours to have trophies on team pages anymore, we'll be getting something set up on our website soon with a list of teams that have won, along with 2nd and 3rd place teams. Hopefully we can find another way around.
Who runs League Underground?
There are a lot of active agents and owners in the league, but its mostly run by the following:
President: UTBEARFAN - http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=141666
Commissioner: Kayrod - http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=308585
Vice-Commissioner: Open
Statistician: Open
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 7 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.
What are the rules? (Rule 3 has been divided, depending on whether you sign up for RLU or LU
1. Players will not boost
2. Players will not be wearing ANY custom equipment for League games
3A, All teams will have full use of the AI and own only non-casual teams, hence the Regular League Underground name.
3B. All teams will only be casual teams in League Underground, hence the name.
4. A team owner can own ALL players on his team if he chooses.
5. All players must be created on or after the same day (Day 40 - Season ??).
6. All team avatars or notes should also include a League Underground logo or comment
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 this league to stay together for 7 seasons and it will only succeed if we manage to keep our original teams 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)
Also, with the ability of GMs to donate for scrimmages, we hope that most owners won't have to take on the entire burden themselves.
How do I get involved?
We have an open invite policy for anyone that wants access to the Regular League Underground Forum and League Underground forums.
You don't need to have a player in the LU to get access.
We want the entire GLB community to be aware of what we're doing and see the positive benefit to it.
If you'd like to help run things and would like to assist one of the conferences, just send a PM to any of the agents listed above.
What's next?
We hope to expand on both the RLU and LU leagues again, and get more teams involved.
*Thanks in advance for your interest in League Underground.
We also look forward to helping everyone in GLB get even more for their flex than they already do!
