Welcome

Hello, and welcome to The Fictional Sports Experience.

My name is Charlie Guenette, and the purpose of this little corner of the blogging universe will be the posting of results from fictional sports leagues that I will play through some different sports games.

The first league that I will be doing will be based on the "real" Arena Football League that ran from 1987-2008. I am running the league with the Universal Football League game (available for free at ufl.no-ip.info). It will be a 16-team league based on the teams who lasted the longest in the AFL as that particular team, a minimum of 6 years.

Here is the divisional alignment and predicted standings (based on a quick auto-sim)
