Now, read below for my hypothetical trophy history if the rules had been different...

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hypothetical Trophy History
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I did this out of a labor of love for stats...

To unearth the facts about the once famed (?) trophy that is now the black sheep to some of the GLB WL community, a cup which confuses many...

Many contend that the PTT should not exist anymore. It makes no sense now that there's a World League and a Pro level, etc...

Gart (and others) theorized that THE Trophy should be defended with each game that the holder plays.

Be forewarned this is long, but if you follow along it all comes together......

Ladies and Gentlemen (well, mostly Gentlemen)...

I give you the History of the Pro Traveling Trophy

========================================================================================================

West Scranton wins the trophy beating the Halifax explosion 35-17 on 4/4/09 to win the Tournament of champions and the initial trophy.

04/4/09 West Scranton 35 - 17 Halifax Explosion http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=471690

Sadly, WSI's control only lasted a day as the lost the very next day in the OPL League Final:

04/5/09 Banzai Pipeline Nites 24 - 23 West Scranton Invaders: http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=473080

Banzai held it all offseason, then in S9 defended it successfully several times

04/26/2009 Banzai Pipeline Nites 35 - 19 Tasmania Devils: http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=478066
04/26/2009 Banzai Pipeline Nites 59 - 35 Boston Dogs (scrimmage): http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=473458
04/27/2009 Banzai Pipeline Nites 48 - 31 Brazilian Waxers (scrimmage): http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=473447

But in week 2 of S9 Banzai lost to the Sydney Jellybirds (box score has the name Sydney Sea Wasps)

04/28/2009 Sydney Sea Wasps 30 - 27 Banzai Pipeline Nites: http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=478012

Sydney's run was short as well as they lost their very next game:

Spokane, as others before them lost their very next game:
04/30/2009 San Diego Frightening Lightning 39 - 38 Spokane Privateers: http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=474381

Once again, next game = loss

makes no sense

that Bonn game was the lolregular season...there was nothing to gain trying in that game. Now a playoff game has everything on the line.

you seem very anxious about this trophy, I think they should lt you keep it
