Dodging the Relegation Bullet
Relegation is not a foreign concept to the majority of teams in The League!. In the 12 years that relegation has been around, only one team has been relegated twice. That’s right. 12 years of relegation. 11 different managers wondering where they went wrong.
Relegation by Year:
| 2010 | 2011 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 |

The only two relegation virgins left standing are B Scott and Smitty. Based on the way relegation has come for fresh blood every year, one of them is up next. But who? Let’s take a look.
Smitty
When he first joined The League! in 2010 he finished in 11th place. 2011…11th place. 2012…10th place. But when the Relegation Bowl started in 2013, he got his stuff together. Smitty has never been to the relegation playoffs, let alone the Relegation Bowl. He has made the real playoffs the past 8 years in a row; however, this year will be coming in without a 3rd or 4th round pick. Welcome to Relegation Watch, Smitty.
B Scott
Is this the year that dreams finally come true? B has been to the relegation playoffs two of the last four years and will be coming into the 2023 draft without a 1st or 2nd round pick. Get your popcorn ready.
