Before we begin the season, I want to give you an overview of the United States football league system in my "universe."
There are eleven levels of football in the USA. The top ten levels are playable.
When I saw the American Premier League had a 4.5 star reputation, I decided to see how it compared to the other top leagues in the world.
Whoa. The top American league is the best football league on the planet!!
Naturally, if the APL is the world's best league, it must be home to some of the world's best clubs...
What we have here is a world in which association football has seemingly replaced American, gridiron football as the dominant football code in the United States.
Where does the
USS Mid-Atlantic Premier League rank?
The league in which Founders play is one of the USS Regional Premier Leagues, at step 9 on the American system. These leagues are comparable to the
Regional First Divisions in England, which are the eighth level of the English system. Other leagues with similar reputations are the
Dutch Hoofdklasse (Level 4), and the
Spanish Third Division (Level 4).
It's clearly fantastic, but it's going to be fun to see how this turns out!
