Enjoy our Faith & Family Night Game ideo against the Tampa Bay Rebels, complete with play by play with Florida Flight Dir. of Media & Public Relations John Weis and Clayton Stallworth. Nice crowd...hoping to see more of that next season and beyond as we continue to build our franchise!

We just submitted the press release, but the skinny is this:

- All 4 teams returning
- Palm Beach renamed Knights; adds 3 to ownership group
- We opted to keep it 4 teams; easier to build up our brand
- Several market inquiries, but none compelling enough to add
- 12 game season
- Single elimination Playoffs
- FBA All-Star Game this year (likely in Palm Beach)
- FBA All-Star Game will include 3 point and slam dunk contest
- Season opening date: April 27th

On a side note, the Flight is going on our 4th season. Not bad for being a broke, detached from reality lunatic. >>CRICKETS<<

Thanks for keeping up with us!

For the 2nd (or 3rd?) time I'd like to applaud the FBA for not caring what anyone thinks and just going with 4 teams..

I was one of the initial doubters in the success of the FBA, but you're definitely proving you want to build a solid foundation for the league.. it must have extremely been tempting to add a few more teams for your second season.. Frankly, your patience is impressive.

Good luck with the season, but for cripes sake Mark - try and win more than 2 or 3 games this year! :)

LOL...now I'm not one to make excuses. They are annoying to listen to, but...since I analyzed the crap out of the Flight's worst season ever, I need to point out that 6 of those 10 losses were by 5 points or less, 1 being an overtime loss, and 2 more being by 3 or less.

The good thing about that is that it shows that the league has competitive parity (although let's be honest, the Tampa Bay Rebels kicked the crap out of everyone most nights). The bad thing, for us, is that a loss is a loss. We were a game away from the WBA Championship, played in the CBL Championship, and then went 2-10. It really stunk!

We're returning 8 guys this year, all whom have been working super hard this off-season (one is actually playing minor league football, so he'll be in great shape). 5 of those players are in their 3rd season with us, and 3 will have been with us since the beginning. Hopefully the result is a big chip on our shoulders after last years disappointing season and a familiarity and chemistry that is better than all the other teams. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Okay...enough of my rant. Thanks for the compliments though, Jeff.

F.B.A. talking expansion. No news just just a blurb on the Facebook page. Also the Prowl beat the Rebels in the Championship Game.

Great find, Evad. Greg is doing a fine job as our Commissioner. We couldn't be happier. We're also fortunate to have a group of team owners committed to each other and our laser vision here in Florida.

We've got some exciting news approaching. No 10 new teams or anything...just 1 or 2 (possibly 3) additions of new teams with a very credible basketball AND business background.

I don't post as much as I used to. Frankly, I'm a lot busier these days. I do thank you all for being so supportive, and for championing the growth and success of what we've been involved with down here in Florida for the last 3-4 years. We, the TRBL, and a couple of other individuals looking to follow the same suit have a much cleaner, realistic, laser-centric focus on how minor league basketball needs to be done to regain credibility, respect, and market share!
