Post Is there 1 list of solitaire leagues/custom teams/coaches somewhere?

I've been looking around and seem to find info on different solitaire leagues in different places but its hard to keep them seperate which coach has which league,which teams play in that league etc.I don't know if theres a central listing and I just havn't found it.Is there a place where you can get custom solitaire teams?I have become a fan of some of these custom teams/leagues and I think it would be great to be able to expand them into my solitaire league.I've been setting up my solitaire league(the eUFL, electric Universal Football League-had lived in universal city for a time)for decades and playing whenever I had a field.My home teams have been the 60's NFL,AFL,and CFL teams.They can opt out and change from a 60-69 roster to whichever decade team they want to be,ex:da bears play as the 80-89 roster,steelers play as the 70-79 roster,dolphins as the 70-79 roster,packers as the 60-69 roster,etc.Whatever decades roster not being used becomes another teams roster that way you can play the 70-79 steelers vs the 90-99 steelers under there "new team name"Whenever new leagues were added I always kept the nfl city teams intact ex:the wfl expansion, nfl-philadelphia eagles stay,philadelphia bell moves to allentown bell,usfl expansion washington federals moves to(craig james) harrisburg federals,houston gamblers moves to las vegas gamblers,philadelphia stars moves to(chuck fusina,k. bryant) hollywood stars,wlaf montreal machine moves to leavonworth mean machine and so on.Each of my expansions have centered on a decade of nfl-cfl rosters(60-69,70-79,80-89,etc.) and a continent.(60-69 n america including canada,mexico home of the chupacabras,toros,70-79nfl-cfl-wfl rosters s america home of the quito mosquitos,bogato coffee beaners,inguanas,australia home of the grunts,dingos,boomerangs,roos, exp road warriors,80-89 nfl-cfl-usfl rosters and europe teams birmingham hoods,brussels mean green sprouts,90-99 nfl-cfl-wlaf rosters and asia home of the calcutta butchers,bangkok ballers,2000-2009 nfl-cfl-nfle-xfl rosters and africa home of the nigerian nightmares, cape town cape buffaloes,etc. Some teams are "naturals",louisville sluggers,salem homers,caspar ghostbusters,hilo bounty hunters,music team names marrakesh express(with usfl team,steve young),ozark daredevils,jackson thrillers,racing teams dover monsters,knoxville nationals,food teams hershey crunch,bologna hot dogs,tv/movies bravehearts,riflemen,columbo sloths,wrestling amarillo funks,eugene crazies,storrs starroids,drinks/smoke golden silver bullets,havanna smoke,brisbane reefers...wait surfing too,lol! fishing pocatello cutthroats,nassau groupers,rangoon crabs,animals panama howlers,vienna lipizzaners,kathimandu yeti,religion jerusalem crusaders,damascus demons,seoul undertakers,and now 2010-brings the planet teams mercury messengers,uranus gassers,sun super novas,made up/cartoon teams atlantis aquamen,bermuda triangles,IRS adders,skull island kongs and of course the old nomads,ninjas,mounties,mongels,outbacks,teams etc!Whats made this fun for me is trying to keep team rosters together so when I play 60s packers vs the 80s las vegas gamblers with jim kelly and his run and shoot offense, its a classic time travel matchup!My rosters are 32 players (and the 3 coaches)total of 35 per team!I've kept the 3 coaches per team who also play off,def,or special teams.Ive done drafts for each decade/continent and have grouped colleges by state ex: pennsylvania keystones have players from penn st,pitts,etc so that any player not on a ufl team plays for his state team where talent always has a home for the undrafted or local star player.Needless to say I can't play all the teams in the same timeframe but if I feel like playing usfl teams or older afl teams they are always there.I try to play a continent season,keep the records,play another until eventually I'll have the continental playoffs and crown a universal champion!(if I can keep from expanding teams,divisions etc!) My solitaire league has been a constant companion through all my ups and downs in life and team names have reflected the times....and its still fun!and a never ending challenge and a constant work in progress!(and yes I went back in time to include old nfl-aafc teams/rosters also!)I am always curious how other solitaire leagues are setup and played and how stats are kept.Maybe down the road we can play for a solitaire game best team championship and ring at one of the big conventions!

I'd like to see some pics of those Quito Mesquitos, Calcutta Butchers and my favorite, the Nigerian Nightmares. They would be a perfect fit for my solitaire league. By the way, we have to have a game between the Skull Island Kongs and my Canadian Sasquatch.

Don't know that there is a list and probably would be hard to maintain one anyway as solitiare leagues come and go.

Default League List.....

It seems to me somebody,somewhere,had such a list,
because my solitaire league name was on the list.
The CSSL- Chris Stacey Solitaire League-
I want to say it was GREENBAY Glenn but I'm not
certain.I think it may have been on his web site,if
that still exsists.....

Chris,

I think you are right. GreenBay Glen's site does still exist but don't know when it has been udated.
