Barnstorming
Leagues are groups of 5 to 100 teams playing one game mode together for a set number of seasons. Joining a league drafts a brand-new team that lives its whole career there. The Base game is the open world — every player's Base team plays outside of leagues.
Each game mode is a separate Barnstorming world with its own draft rules and standings; every league below plays inside one of them. You can run one team per mode. You are currently playing Base.
