Above all, thanks for your patience! That brings us up to the "present" day in this timeline. In case I didn't spell it out clearly enough, 1969 will be the final season using the IABC nomenclature. After that, the Moon Shot League takes over. No structural changes or anything, although there might be some more franchises swapped in and out along the way. And there is still one big reveal to come.

The team graphics are still coming through and will be added as they are received, with the plan being all shall be in place (or close enough to) for 1970. There's about 1/3 of them left to go at the time of writing.

Bigger leagues are tough to cover comprehensively, so I made the decision early on in the conceptualisation of this universe that I was going to go the other way and make it almost entirely about Bradford. The players, staff, fans, whatever. Beyond that I have no idea just yet - hopefully the muse shall strike along the way!

That said, this thread will still feature all of the usual info like historic achievements and big performances from around the league. Just not a lot of the clutter like signings, hirings, firings, moves and the like - unless they involve someone relevant to the storyline. Or, of course, the mighty Beagles out of Bradford PA!
