So im sure you saw the team rename i did based on star wars teams. I wanted to do that again based on middle earth, and again based on Game of Thrones, but thwn I thought why not sim some games with these teams? Why not run a mini league for media cash, that is football teams based entirely on Middle Earth and ASOIAF. So i created teams. Then i devised a way to run games that was both quick, fun and pretty random. But then i went further, and added offensive and defensive scores that will affect a teams chances to win. In coming up with all of this I forgot all about renaming our leagues teams. So im treating this as if its a movie, or a game, or another league, within our little dot universe. Another thing for us all to enjoy in the downtime between our games.
So the way the games are played. First things first I have developed a way to give team a score for offense and defense. I used a dice app on my phone to roll 10, 10 sided dicd for offense and defense. The first number of the roll is the score, ie: 67 = 6 and so on. You might ask why not just roll a d10, well the chances of teams getting a 1 or 2 on both was much higher that way, so this way there is more of an average in the middle, with a few stronger, and a couple slightly weaker. Made it a bit more manageable and fair. Then for the actual game scores, I rolled a d10 for the number of offense of a team, and put it against the d10 for defense of the opposing team. I then subtracted the defensive die roll off of the offensive die roll and thats the score for that team. Then I did the same thing for the other team and boom I have my final score. If it ended on a weird number, like say 4-0 or something, i would round it down to 3 to make seem more like a possible football scote. Its not perfect but its kind of fun.
So here is the list of teams and the conferences and divisions. Fun to come up with these, hope you like them! Let me know what your favorite teams are.

So there we have the inital team scores, a couple obvious strong teams, a bunch in the middle and a couple who will likely fall behind early and often.
Oh did i forget to mention that each week of the season I will choose a game that looks like it will be good, or games with important outcomes like 2 undefeated teams or a playoff win and in situation. I will also just pick games sometimes that are two evenly matched teams. In this game of the week, to beef up the article a bit, I will not roll for the games entire outcome, but I will roll for each quarter. And discuss the teams a little more in depth as far as their team score goes.
Its still all really simple and just a late night idea i cooked up and have to now run with. But i might discuss the rolls as they happen and treat it a bit like its a real game and what each team needs to happen in order to win.
Thats it for this article, im doing week 1 as we speak, but dont want them all to be too long so in the next article I will have the schedule for the week and the outcomes. Below each article, or at the very end i guess, I will have a ranking of 1-32. This week is going based off of team scored and is in no way accurate.
