We are probably the oldest league still active, as we started in 2010. We started in the 1976-77 season and we are still running. We were using the very first version of the series until last season, which resulted in a half-empty league as the game could not be purchased anymore. Therefore, we decided to change to the new engine in order to attract new GM's.
