It's a matter of RESPECT...just hold off until IDM says one way or another is my suggestion.

Have you checked in with the USPTO? You might want to get your facts straight before making a claim like that. 😂
Jokes aside, it's good etiquette if you want to do a spin-off of someone else's work to make sure that person is okay with it first. It seems like you plan to run your league independently of mine, and if that's the case, consider this an all clear! (If that's not the case, PM me and let me know what the plan is.)

Here it is, the first season of the EDA!
The first game in EDA history was played in London between the hometown Teacups and the visiting Hamburg Hounds. Unfortunately, for fans of the Cups, the Hounds beat em' 199-107. The first points in league history were scored by Hamburg's Patrick Fluery. In the west, the Madrid Toros, lead by defensive player of the year Josef Perez, finished 15-3 and claimed the West crown. Coming in second were the Shamrocks who came out of nowhere to finish second. Led by Ireland natives K.C. Sampson and Donald Daly, the Rocks went 10-8 and in the playoffs. Third and Fourth went to the Chevaliers and Teacups respectively. Paris was the leagues youngest team, with an average age of 21.8 years. London though was just bad but managed to upset Madrid on the last day of the year.
In the East, nobody seriously challenged the IceBreakers for first place in the East. led by MVP and OPOY Manu Rask, the Breakers cruised to an undefeated 18-0 season. Helinski was soon to be known as Hell-Inski do to it's loud fans. The Emperors though went the other way, they lost all 18 of their games to finish 0-18. They had no offense or defense, which can be a problem. After the season (which included a loss to Helinski 276-58) team owner Giuseppe Martini was forced to sell the team. Unless he can find a buyer in Italy, they could be headed elsewhere. Meanwhile the last playoff spot in the east would come down to the two German teams. Berlin, led by American star Jeff Davenport, had the leagues second-best defense (only behind Helinski) whereas the Hounds had a balanced attack led by Hungarian born star Sam Gunter. In the end though the Brewers knocked off the Hounds on the last day of the season 187-126 to head to the playoffs.

I usually pick my teams based on a logo/uniforms when not in the U.S., without those factors, I'm looking for a city I like, which are not currently represented.
