Report

The 2011 Stars Football League played 6 matches between 4 teams from 3 states [Ref: 5]. There was no Championship Game in the inaugural season, which was wrapped up in front of 1,900 fans at Tad Gormley Stadium, City Park, New Orleans, when the hometown Jazz beat the Michigan Coyotes 21-6. [Ref: 5]

The second Stars Football League season in 2012 featured three teams in Southern Florida, playing a 2-game schedule each, with all three teams making the Playoffs. The Fort Lauderdale Barracudas, taking homefield advantage in the Semi-Final, beat the Ft. Myers Swampdogs 21-10, to advance to the first Stars Football League Championship Game, which was also held in Central Broward Park in Lauderhill, Ft. Lauderdale. [Ref: 6-9]

Having failed to score during the regular season, the Barracudas again put up a much better showing in the President’s Trophy Championship Game, but this time fell short, with the Daytona Beach Swampdogs winning 16-14. [Ref: 9-11]

The Stars Football League expanded to 4 teams for the 2013 season, adding the Miami Ironmen. The Ft. Myers Swampdogs moved to Pompano Beach, also Florida.

The Daytona Beach Racers, defending champions, were unable to repeat, losing all three regular season matches and losing to expansion side Miami Ironmen in the Playoffs. The Swampdogs defeated Ft. Lauderdale Barracudas 12-8 in the other Semi-Final. The Ironmen, who had gone 3-0 during the Regular Season, went all the way, completing a perfect season, winning the President’s Trophy II, 11-6 over Pompano Beach Swampdogs in the Championship Game. [Ref: 13-20]

About

The Stars Football League was a Professional Spring Football League that played from 2011 to 2013, primarily in Florida, but also in 2011 in New Orleans (Louisiana) and Michigan. It is notable for introducing a 1-2-3 Rule after touchdowns, whereby Conversions are worth 1 Point if Kicked, or 2 Points if Passed or Ran into the Endzone from 2 Yards out, and 3 Points if Passed or Ran into the Endzone from 10 Yards out. [Ref: 2]. In 2013 the 1-2-3 Point Rule became a 1234 Point Rule with 4 Points awarded for Passing or Running the ball into the endzone from 20 Yards out. [Ref: 12]
