League Update April 2023

 

Apr 3, 2023

WUL community,

I can’t believe we are almost halfway through our second season!  We’ve already had plenty of exciting matchups, and it looks like who will qualify for Championship Weekend will come down to the wire!  As always, you can catch the replays of any of our games on our YouTube channel.  These games are available free of charge thanks to the generous donations you made to our GoFundMe last year.

We also need to take a moment and offer our gratitude for your support of our Be A Megafan (BAM) jersey fundraiser.  With over 1000 jerseys purchased, our teams and league brought in $122K+ in total revenue. This money helps the teams and league cover the cost of travel and gameday operations. Breakmark has been an invaluable partner in advancing the visibility of this league and currently is working tirelessly to deliver these one-of-a-kind jerseys to you and others around the country. You will see them in your mailbox soon!

If you missed a chance at getting one of the BAM jerseys, no worries! You can still represent your favorite teams and players with Official Replica apparel by visiting the Breakmark WUL Store and customizing your favorite gear. Also, I hope you’ve been enjoying the Breakmark Breakdown videos on our social media channels which highlight the unique features on each teams’ jerseys.

As we near the halfway mark of our season, I want to spotlight the incredible work being done by our stats team. If you haven’t yet checked out our new stats dashboard – which has an array of detailed search and filter functionalities – you are missing out!  After every weekend of games, our stats team works diligently to extract some of the most advanced stat metrics available in the game today, and each week we feature these stats in our social media updates.  Have a question about the stats? Just ask WULinsider on Twitter @WULinsider! Be sure to follow along so you’ll be ready for our Fan Fantasy Contest for Championship Weekend!

Speaking of Championship Weekend, the event will take place in Seattle on June 3-4, 2023 at Memorial Stadium.  We are thrilled to announce that we will, once again, feature an all women and non-binary observer crew and livestream commentators. It is going to be an incredible event, and you can get your tickets here!
Thanks for continuing to support our league and the incredible performances of our athletes. I hope that you find your way to a game soon! Ticket information for ALL games can be found on our website.
