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 the end of August. I know several northern hemisphere leagues are still running a little slow this time of year because of coaches getting their summer vacation in, and some folks are moving... or moving their children to institutions of higher education for the Fall term. Mostly minor updates this time, but also with the addition of a new league forming! The following leagues should have space/recruiting right now: Chill Axe, MBBL (French language), DLE, Cyberpunk Draft League, SWL, and NWBL. [ed: 2022_08_18]WIL is actively looking for one replacement coach! |

Current status | Season 92 Trial of Blood! (I assume that's like a season of Friendlies... but mass exsanguination appears to be as friendly as those guys get.) | |
