BBL league history

Books Boss League is a competitive fantasy football league full of friendships, rivalries, and great times with great people

The Books Boss League (BBL) is a Fantasy Football Championship League full of rich history. Established in 2014, league membership began with eight league managers until the 2017 season, when the league expanded to ten managers.

Some say it’s just another fantasy league, or merely a waste of time, but we disagree. Not only do we value the competitiveness season after season, we value the friendships, camaraderie and memories shared with our league mates over the years.

Win, and crown yourself a lifelong champion in the record books.

Upon entering the 2017 season, Books Boss league did not have a visual identity. We created the first BBL logo that was used during the 2017-2018 seasons. The logo got an adjustment for the 2019 year, and is now known by the current logo from 2020.

In 2018, we introduced the BBL Power Rankings as a way to engage the league more while comparing the strengths of teams on a weekly basis. I stumbled across the OIL – the OklahomIraqis Fantasy Football league. The OIL uses a power rating system developed by the Oberon Mt. Fantasy Football League. We have adopted this ranking system as a great way to fuel competitive banter among the league. This rating system values the amount of points a team scores as well as the record, as opposed to just the weekly record-based standings. Since the BBL plays in a head-to-head league, we found this rating system beneficial for our competitiveness.

During the 2023 season, Books Boss League celebrated its tenth season, a significant milestone, yet only the beginning for our league.

Finish last, and question whether or not you are capable of competing in the BBL. Not to mention we won’t let you forget about it. Win, and crown yourself a lifelong champion in the record books. And if the sheer fact of winning alone doesn’t get you going, the winner is presented with a championship certificate to relish the accomplishment, and etch their name in history for years to come. Raise the banner!

I hope you enjoyed this brief walk down memory lane, in the historical archives at Books Boss League. Thanks for reading, and I hope you stay along for the ride and become a Books Boss League fan!
