Are these teams worthy of the list?:

Schmerztal Darkbones
Flachpfeifens 4th try
She's A Sensation

Maybe it should just be winning against 5 teams that have 300+ or 400+ games ..

The bar of simply having a team with several hundred games under its belt is a bit lame, in my opinion.

We're picking extraordinary teams here, not just long-lived ones. Unless they meet the bar for extraordinary accomplishment, then we shouldn't even include them in the nominations.

As an example, Watchmen Philosophy is my favorite team. They've won two majors qualifiers and have some recognition to their credit. They aren't even close to a team that I would consider for nomination, because the fluff is average and they haven't won a major.

JimmyFantastic has a good list going. My only question is about the Blackbox teams: My impression was that this badge is for ranked because you can set up matches. Is it problematic to apply it to Blackbox because of the scheduler?

Funny, the post's title says Famous, not Extraordinary. Even if we were to follow your train of thought, compared to the number of teams in Ranked:

12 Teams with more than 1000 games
41 Teams with 500+ games
63 Teams with 400+ games
95 Teams with 300+ games

Let's be real here, it is just a fun badge that doesn't even mean much more than personal achievements. If we were to get a site endorsed tag on our profile, maybe this might be a different conversation.

With that being said..
After you sift the inactive teams from the number of teams to have actually played 400+ games, again, this is a very small number of teams.

Final point:
Just because a team hasn't measured up to any one of our personal preferences for what it means to be 'Famous', doesn't mean they somehow become less famous.

I think a range is fine:

Longevity... Teams with 500+ matches might be eligible
Rich History... Teams with amazing Bio's
Winners... Multiple major winners.
Outrageous favoritism...teams I like....


I think the criteria Hero suggested needs tweaking slightly;

Longevity ... Teams with 400+ match in the box, or 500+ matches in Ranked.
Winners ... Multiple 'Final 4' Major Appearances.

I think a 500 game cut off in the box misses a couple of teams that should be included and I think appearing in the semi's of a few majors should mean much more than a team who may have reached the last 4 once and won it.

I'd say Dollhouse but probably only one team per coach, so it's gotta be the Hammers.
Left my Heart in San Francisco and Blood Sea Buccaneers for sure.
Punish the Monkey!

Box is hard because with few exceptions, teams aren't that long lived.
CherServiteurS and WMD's are obvious. Vault Tec Squad too. Kingston Kruelty? We suckalot?

I'd say El Drizzto but Reisender has been pretty much inactive for some time (see also Rata Blanca). Same goes for shusaku and Black Sithi.

Now before we contort into pretzels over this issue. Let me remind you that only around 15 coaches actually care about the badges and actively seek them and they all play in RANKED!!!!


No need to turn into a pretzel over this issue.

I approve of the 'multiple final 4' idea (because then my darkies qualify Wink )
I've taken up my own challenge, went on gamefinder with only TotSQ. Man, that system is so much better for one team than for 20...

Now why I picked cdorfs with 11 tackle for my elves... =)

Some points

I think B, R and even S and L are ok for this.
I'd rather a longer than shorter list
500 Games is not a requirement, just a thought.
Active is important.
Famous does not imply successful. E.g ILMHISF is absolutely a team which should make the list because its the kind of crazyness which makes fumbbl special.

Perhaps one/several of the all linemen teams?

On that note: what about the Dirty Cranberries? They're even successful: 50.5 % win rating!
