We've only been in business seven years and we try to make adjustments and do things better every year. The league started in 1995 with eight teams in Washington, Oregon, California and British Columbia. Now, only California remains as an original WBL state, with franchises now in Arizona and Utah. While the current franchises are stronger and more financially stable than in years past, a six-team league borders dangerously on the edge of collapse. I think the number six is not as deep as we want to be.
Twelve is the best.
That means doubling the size of the league. And the timetable isn't that drawn out. Some feel the league could be at 12 teams within three years. There have been some success stories in the league's young existence, though. For instance, the Sonoma County Crushers, the only WBL franchise still in existence in its original location.
