49ers.......... 7
Cowboys......5
Dolphins.......3

Jewel City EFL
 

The Jewel City EFL is a solitaire league that started in December 2009. Currently I have 8 teams in the league. The teams are listed below:

NFC
Los Angeles Rams
San Francisco 49ers
Dallas Cowboys
Chicago Bears

AFC
Miami Dolphins
Pittsburgh Steelers
Oakland/LA Raiders
Denver Broncos

Gams consists of 15 plays per quarter with each team receiving 3 time outs per game. Each time out stops the play counter from advancing, thus you could have 6 bonus plays added to the game. Play system involves a start and stop method, in which the QB initially has the ball to start the play. The Qb can run, hand off, pitch to a running back/wide receiver or drop back to pass. When the QB passes, he is automatically placed in the sack zone (a bar placed 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage). Defense needs to tackle with the front of base touching runner's base. Fumbles and penatlies are determined by a designated player base from each team.

This is neat........and fun.....
 

LEAGUE NAME: Universal Football League
ORIGIN OF NAME: Lived in Universal City....the name fit!
LEAGUE SCOPE: A collection of decades of rosters and teams from all leagues with the NFL-AFL-CFL maintaining their teams and cities and then as new leagues and teams came into play they would have to "relocate" their franchises to other open cities but the WFL,USFL,and XFL rosters/teams are still playing in their leagues some just in other cities!!!(along with a few expansion teams:) )
SEASONS: Ongoing...playing seperate league seasons then taking the league champions into a championship round and eventually crowning a Universal Champion!

TEAM SCOPE:I have expanded teams everywhere!Right now there is 16 teams in mexico,12 in south america,20 in australia,etc......all with different decades of rosters per continent (from the NFL)(that way all the NFL teams and rosters from every decade are still playing just maybe with a new team name.....:dohdh: ) I have went back in time to form a Pioneer League with the teams and players from the 20's up to 1949,there is the Solar League,Fantasy League etc.This is a never ending work in progress!I have always had the passion for all this(the game,teams,rosters etc.)and just hope I last long enough to see all this through:D

This is very valuable information knowing what solitaire leagues are where. Wolf has asked me to do some things with writing an article on solitaire MF. For those of you who have leagues but are hesitant to put any reference to it, don't worry about it. Put it out there. Let people know, because trust me, you will not be the last. As we get closer to winter and competition players are snowed in, they will be reading your post on solitaire MF, just wondering and asking the question, "Should I do something like this?"
