All the league news fit to print and then some! Compiled from across FUMBBL, this is all the league news that's come to my little furry ears. If you know more that is going on, please let razmus know so he can add it to the next edition, which should be released at the end of May. I've added stars in the upper right corners of each league represents it's size/status, as a suggestion from ramchop.
