I was wondering where I could find comprehensive lists of 2072 sports teams.  Names pop up every once in while (Seattle 2072 and Attitude being
the biggest places I know) and was just wondering if anyone had compiled them all in one place?

[Critias]

There are lots of sports.  Combat Biker and Urban Brawl were both initially covered in Shadowbeat and have team lists there (but those team lists are about 20 years old, in-universe as well as IRL) -- Urban Brawl, at least, has gotten an update list in a recent CMP Adventure I wrote, Super Brawl Sunday (which will hopefully be made available for general consumption, sometime after the summer convention season).

There's no single book with up to date lists of every team in every sport, but that's (again) in part because, well, there are a lot of sports.    Shadowbeat is where I'd start, though, for most of them.

Shadowbeat, p.59-61 for Baseball, Basketball and Football. Combat Biker's franchises are listed on page 66 and the Urban Brawl teams are on page 68.

I imagine the German Urban Brawl book they put out updates the world UB league.  And one of the Missions we're running at the cons this year, CMP 2011-08: Super Brawl Sunday updates the North American League.  Here's the NAUBL Rankings Sidebar from that adventure (Written by Rusty "Critias" Zimmerman):

I wanted to post it, but I was worried about NDA stuff.  Since Bull did it instead, I guess I shouldn't have been TOO worried. 

For those interested in what changes I made?  I knocked off one Chicago team (since the original list was pre-Bugs), I added a Portland team (to reflect the Tir's newer, comparatively open, borders and waning isolationism), added a Cleveland team as a favor to a certain Ork decker I've never met, gave Horizon and NeoNET teams (either for being North American-headquartered, or heavily into media and popular entertainment)...and gave Dallas a team, because there's just no fucking way that the love child of football and gunplay hasn't got a team somewhere in Texas.

Desert Wars!

Nice to see they still sit in the bottom half of the league.

(Yeah, I'm a Philly fan, what of it? )

Most of the teams are where they are for a reason;  new franchises not faring as well as older champions, for instance, with a few long-running teams that are on hard times (as part of the adventure's plot).

It wouldn;t be a Cleveland team if it wasn't in the losing.  And it will still have a rabid fanbase that puts most other teams fans to shame.

Haven't heard about the riot of a time they had in Vancouver, did you?

I said "most".  ANd that was Canada.  And Hockey.  You guys are way too irrational about guys who play with their sticks in public.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction.  I like having a good grasp of the current society of 2072, let's me add a good background for when I GM. It's one of the reasons Attitude is in my top three books.

Also Women's Lacrosse.

I want there to be Laserball. So I can be King of it.

Oooh... now I wanna make an ex-sports celebrity in Missions named Roy von Bacon.
