New Age American Gridiron Football League

## New Age American Gridiron Football League (NAAGFL)

**The New Age American Gridiron Football League** (**NAAGFL**), commonly referred to as 'The N Double A GFL', is a professional American Football league within the Cyberpunk Universes and Campaigns.

## History

After the Nation Football League (NFL) went bankrupt during the 4th corporate wars due to the near collapses of global economy and the United States government in 2024, American Football was highly overshadowed by the rise in popularity of Roller Derby, Motorsport Road Racing, and various Blood Sports.

16 years later, taking advantage of an empty market, Diverse Media Systems founded the NAAGFL alongside the New United States of America. With the blessings of the NUSA and DMS' hold on television and radio broadcasts, American Football very quickly became one of the most popular sports in all of America.

Since its inaugural season in 2040, the NAAGFL has only become more popular each subsequent year.

At the end of the 2042 season, the NAAGFL introduced a Relegation ruleset and formed a Minor League to increase interest in expansion teams. The Relegation rules came into effect at the start of the 2043 season, the same year as the TYMGFL's inaugural season.

## Teams Pre-Relegation

NUSA has teams East of North and South Dakota, and DMS has teams West, with a few exceptions.

DMS has the Atlantic City Boxcars even though it is in the Eastern New United States, this is because DMS bought and owns the entirety of Atlantic City.

DMS wanted stakes in non-contiguous states of the New United States, so the Eek Eskimos and Maui Shaka were formed.

NUSA wanted stakes in associated territories of the New United States, so the Puerto Rico Divine were formed.

## Seasons

### Inaugural 2040 Season

Replicating the schedule of it's predecessor, the NFL, the 2040 NAAGFL season started the first Monday in September, the week after Labor Day. The first Red Bowl was played in The Stage, the stadium closest to DMS' headquarters. Any subsequent Red Bowls are played in the champion's stadium from the season prior.

### 2041 Season

The second Red Bowl was played in the North South Shuck Field, home of the Dakota Rush, previous season's champions.

### 2042 Season

The third Red Bowl was played in The Flamboyance, home of the Coconut Creek Flamingos, previous season's champions.

## Trivia

* Prior to the 2043 season, only two states had more than one club, Florida and California. Coconut Creek Flamingos and Atlantis Tridents with Florida, and SoCal Thespians and Alcatraz Yardbirds with California.
	+ Florida and California were also the only two states to have teams on islands just off of their coast, Atlantis and Alcatraz island.
* Ruleset
	+ The lowest ranked teams from the latest NAAGFL season are relegated to the TYMGFL, filling the empty Relegated Team spots ascending in order of their ranking. (ie. the 16th ranked will fill Relegated Team 1, the 13th ranked team will fill Relegated Team 4) The four teams now compete with the other 20 teams within the TYMGFL, and the top four ranked teams are promoted to the NAAGFL. The #1 ranked team is the champion of the season's Fatality bowl, #2 is the defeated runner up. Ranks #3 and #4 are the teams who lost to the champion and the runner up in the playoffs, respectively. The Fatality Bowl champion gains immunity against Relegation the next NAAGFL season, guaranteeing the team at least one year within the major league. The #5 ranked team through the #24 ranked team remain in the TYMGFL and compete again in the following season. The conference within the NAAGFL with a team that won the previous season's Red Bowl receives the #1 and #3 ranked team, the conference with the runner up team receives #2 and #4.
