Announced franchises
As late as July 2018 the league continued to say it would begin operations with six teams, but only four teams were ever announced.[3] The Joplin franchise defaulted on their lease with Joplin, Missouri for non-payment in January 2019.[4] The league's contract with Joplin called for a schedule of play and disclosure of the leagues' two other teams by October 15, 2018. The league said in January 2019 that this had been done privately pending final details.[5]
