The New System

Although playing just fourteen regular-season games a year was fine by the Footballers themselves, the relatively-short League season was felt to be detrimental to the national team. So, the Alpha, Beta and Gamma Divisions were merged and Liga Starblaydia was formed. This would give Starblaydia's players a thirty-eight game season to hone and show-off their skills, which is more in-line with other nations' leagues. To prevent a stagnant league, the many and varied amateur teams from across Starblaydia were brought together in Liga Omega, relegation and promotion from and to the Top-20 was now possible, thereby creating a fantastic and exciting league structure.

The Tiberius Cup is still competed for every year, with all 20 Liga Starblaydia teams and the Liga Omega Championship team of the previous year competing for Cup Glory. Liga Ipsilon is the Women's league.

Liga Starblaydia

Made up of 21 teams for the inaugural season, three were relegated and only two promoted, to leave Liga Starblaydia with 20 teams to compete every season.

Liga Omega

Eighteen amateur and semi-pro teams (along with any professionals relegated from Liga Starblaydia) compete in Liga Omega

Liga Ipsilon

Seven all-female teams compete.

The Old System

Originally, Twenty-One teams took part in the Starblaydi Football League, split into three divisions, encompassing both Starblaydia and Nova Britannicus. Two teams faced the Relegation battle from the Alpha and Beta Divisions each season, while Two teams win glory and Promotion from the Beta and Gamma Division.

The Tiberius Cup, created to honour Tiberius Starblayde's birth, was competed for each year. The final league make-up looked like this:

Alpha Division

Beta Division

Gamma Division
