Seven in Alpha, seven in Omega โ€” all fourteen seats locked in for '26โ€“27. Every crest, hand-drawn; every record, real. The big number is where they finished in 2026.

5 Astoria Professors crest
Alpha
Astoria Professors
Ioannis Ladis ยท you
The 2025 champion (17โ€“3, +322) followed it with another 16โ€“4 in '26 โ€” then bowed out fifth. A dynasty that keeps knocking on the door.

3 The Babycakes crest
Alpha
The Babycakes
Janise Higgins

12 Glass Factory crest
Alpha
Glass Factory
Dwayne Patterson
Runner-up in '25 as Boss Taqs, then a rebrand and a rebuilding 9โ€“11. The contention window is still cracked open.

Division Omega

7 teams
1 Jamel's Scary Team crest
Omega
Jamel's Scary Team
Jamel Wilkins
Worst-to-first. Dead last in 2024, sat out 2025, then ran the whole bracket as a #4 seed and cut down the nets. The champ is scary now.
2026 15โ€“5Finish 1stTitles 1
2 Astoria Hoops crest
Omega
Astoria Hoops
Mike Petridis
Back-to-back 16โ€“4 seasons and still chasing the first ring. The finest regular-season team money can't cash.

Omega
Antonios's Angry Team
Antonios Mitropoulos
Bull-strong. A 14โ€“6 monster in '25, then a middle-of-the-pack 10โ€“10 in '26.

Omega
Hiawatha's Heated Team
Hiawatha Colbert
The league's beloved basement โ€” 1โ€“19 in '26 and 4โ€“56 across three years. Undefeated at showing up.
