If MZNFL's first season of League A<\/b> ended today, here's what the Fan Bowl standings would look like:
\n
\n
  1. Dallas Cowboys (12)<\/li>
  2. NFL (6)<\/li>
  3. Baltimore Ravens (4) & New England Patriots (4)<\/li>
  4. Buffalo Bills (3)<\/li>
  5. Carolina Panthers (1)<\/li><\/span>
  6. New York Jets (0)<\/li>
  7. Chicago Bears (-1)<\/li>
  8. Indianapolis Colts (-2)<\/li>
  9. Miami Dolphins (-4)<\/li>
  10. Pittsburgh Steelers (-5)<\/li>
  11. San Francisco 49ers (-7)<\/li><\/span><\/ol>
    \n
    \nBoth Dallas Cowboys affiliates gatto13<\/b> and dowopado<\/b> look as though they will snatch up top honors for placement, securing both 1st and 2nd place honors in that order (gatto13 - 1st and dowopado - 2nd), along with the available league bonuses (for goals scored, allowed, and best point differential; the top scorer bonus is on the verge of being vacated due to the absence of striker Claudinho Alcântara--who bests the second place challenger by seven tallies) with each of them taking 9 points away from League A<\/b>.
    \n
    \nHonorable mentions include both the one-manned, second place NFL and the one-manned, third place Baltimore Ravens. In spite of the odds, tricolor666<\/b> and damo11<\/b> find themselves occupying second and third place (with the New England Patriots) respectively.<\/div>\n\t \t<\/div> \t\t<\/div>\t\t\t

    Hello, MZNFL Representatives:
    \n
    \nI would like to introduce the much obscured Fan Bowl<\/b>.
    \n
    \nThe Fan Bowl is a championship system designed to make our friendly league competitions more team-oriented and impactful towards a collective goal. Not to mention, it will serve to keep us occupied during the NFL offseason(s). The Fan Bowl will be conducted each Managerzone season.
    \n
    \nPoints will be tallied at the end of each friendly league and summarized\/reported in a post on either this message board or the "Fans of the NFL" thread. Points are awarded on placement and team performance (see the "bonuses"). At the end of the season, an NFL team and its fanbase will be awarded the Fan Bowl and documented in the Federations annals.

    \nI have not devised an award or prize other than recognition and bragging rights--for the moment.<\/i>
    \n
    \nPlease let me know what you guys think. Also, if you have any ideas regarding an awards system or prize for the Fan Bowl<\/b> or, in essence, a substantive prize for the winner(s) of the Fan Bowl<\/b>, feel free to share.
    \n
    \nSincerely,
    \n
