Year Three: 2007

Summary:

2007 becomes a very interesting mix of teams, both old and new.

Team Skater, an original franchise, returns. Wu Tang Clan becomes the only original franchise to play all three years. Q T TTs change their name to Booya and return. Merry Pranksters return. The Oddballerz return and change their name to Super Pirate Ninja Rockstars. Captain Jack McGrath bequeaths the franchise rights of League Champion, Phat Chrome to underclassman Patrick Kollmeier and they return with new members. Pro-Pains follows a similar path with new captain Kevin Johns. Malzedongs makes a few changes and becomes Amerikaz Most Wanted. Members of the Minutemen become Wendy's Is Good and The Erasers. Other new franchises are born from the upper class.

The future is bright with four teams made up mostly of 10 graders; Super Pirate Ninja Rockstars, Banzai Blitzers, Kind of a Big Deal, and Panda Bear?

No changes are made to gameplay for the '07 season. 20 teams are still split into 4 divisions. The league cuts ties to the Dodgeball movie and instead begins an identity with a new league logo. Here tis.
