## Trivia

* In the week 21 match where the Tokyo Ravers went up against the Sydney Seekers, Tokyo blew a 4-1 lead in 24 seconds, and were even up 4-3 with 1 second left at kickoff, and the Seekers went on to win 5-4 in overtime. This breaks the record for the biggest blown lead in the shortest amount of time, with 2nd place being a game that also featured the Tokyo Ravers, this time against the Los Angeles Cyclones, where the Cyclones blew a 5-2 lead in 36 seconds, and the Ravers won that game 7-5.
* On May 24th, 2021, it was announced that starting on Season 47, the San Francisco Ghosts would relocate to Washington, D.C. and be renamed to the Washington Flyers.
	+ The league stated that they are waiting until Season 47 because it wants to give San Francisco 1 more chance to win a championship if they don't this season, since when the announcement was made the Ghosts currently have an 8-16 record and aren't likely to make the playoffs.
