Local clubs have played each other in various levels of organization for centuries, but our modern era has codified the rules and set up a league consisting teams representing of Adam Island's largest and most historical cities.

This prevents teams from crowding their rosters with less-deserving players for fear of another team snatching them before the talent is developed.
