Ha! I knew someone was going to mention that.  Right up until I hit submit I was thinking about fudging the scores.  Then I figured go with it.  Luckily the Redskins (Scorpions) will not be good for much longer and this will probably never happen again.

I thought Rugrat was supposed to take control of the Scorpions franchise, now that he's back from suspension...

That's what I believed as well, but maybe Rugrat has bowed out with missing the draft and such?

I’m still here. I’ll check with Gritty and see what he says

I believe you mean the Football Team.

Time for the fourth season of the AltFL Legacy Project!

Just a heads up, schedule wise this week will be a little weird for me.  I usually am free in the mornings to get all of the Alt stuff out but this week will be a little different. I should be able to get everything out on the right day but just in case now you know.

The 2003 Season

*The AltFL adopted its first free agency system
*CBS struck a deal to broadcast all South and Central Division games while FOX struck a deal with the North and West Division.
*The play clock was reduced from 45 to 40 seconds.
*Ineligible receiver down field prior to the pass was added
*The passer can now throw away a pass as long as they are out of the pocket and the ball passes the line of scrimmage.
*The spike was added

Earlier I said that we were trying to make sure that a last place team wouldn't make the playoffs. BUT since we adopted new tie breakers this year that happened.  The North was insane and the Emperors outlasted Dallas, San Diego, and Kansas City for the final spot.

The 2003 Wildcard Round

#9 Toronto Beavers @ #8 Boston Nightriders

#10 Philadelphia Brawlers @ #7 Utah Raptors 

#11 Chicago Cyclones @ #6 Los Angeles Sabercats

#12 New York Emperors @ #5 Buffalo Bolts
