Date: Year 15 Day 290 Onboard the Modular Taskforce Cruiser Enigma Spire in system N`zoth (-70, 64).
Greetings Ladies and Gentle sentients,
 
Welcome the the Sporting News. The Knights of The Fountain are proud to announce the start of the sporting season. Last week KOTF SBL 2 kicked off and next month the Krieg's Run Fourth Season will begin in a government sector near you.
 
 
Excitement has been building for the return of the Krieg's Run. Last year in the third season Amaranth Kushiel dominated in much the same way Lorenzas Atticus dominated the second season. Who will step up and be crowned Grand Champion of the Krieg's Run Fourth Season? In the fourth season the race will be traveling to a different government sector for each race. The Trade Federation has been awarded host of the first race of the new season day 316 at 12:00:00. Soon the best fighter and freighter pilots in the galaxy will begin to arrive in Taanab the Trade Federation capital. Will a TF pilot win or place on the podium? It was TF former Minister of Defense Siraloth Xivah who won the inaugural race some three years ago. The champions prize will be fifty million credits and a Krieg's Run Trophy, second place will be twenty-five million credits and third place will be ten million credits. In addition all three will be eligible for the Champions Race at the end of the season. The racers will race to nine different relay stations in TF territory and back to Taanab. Register to race by sending two million credits to Tolando Krieg. All Trade Federation citizens will have their fees waived if they post on the official TF holonet. Look for up coming races of the season in a government sector near you.

The sporting fans that were saddened by the demise of the Colonial Shockball League have been thrilled by the return of shockball to the galaxy. In Hutt Space rules shockball teams have a sixteen sentient roster and nine starting players compete on the field with no substitutions. The KOTF SBL 2 draft of players has completed and league play has begun with sixteen teams competing over the next three months for a share of a Half BILLION credits donated by the Falleen Federation and held in escrow by Governor-General Togan Jano. The champion will receive three hundred million credits, second place one hundred and twenty-five million credits and third place seventy-five million credits. We would like to thank His Majesty, King Jado Dur`rik and the Falleen Federation for their generosity.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Last year the Derelkoos Dragons stumbled into the playoffs playing .500 ball. Once in the playoffs the Dragons never lost a game and won the inaugural KOTF SBL season winning one hundred and eighty million credits. The Falleen Federals finished in second place last season losing in the championship to the Dragons. Last week the Federals opened the season in Derelkoos Desert stadium on Klatooine. While the Federals clearly had the best player on the field they could not keep up with the depth of the Dragons lineup and lost to the Dragons again.
 
 
 
After winning just two games all of last season the Boordii Steampunks came out and steamrolled the Hutt Space BlitzKrieg in week one action. The BlitzKriegs first round draft choice had to be helped off the field with a concussion before half time and remains questionable for this coming week. This is reminiscent of last season when the BK jumped out to a 4-0 season start but where hobbled by injuries and limped to a third place league finish last year. After the game the Boordii Steampunks dropped their fifth round draft pick and he was permanently banned by the league after a NOVAcom tabloid holovid released images of him knocking out his wife in a casino lift and dragging her off the lift unconscious. The KOTF SBL league office released a statement deploring the actions of the now banned player.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Thyferra Bacta-Tanks defeated the Asation Consiglieres. Last season almost half the roster of the Asation Consiglieres were local lads from Gree and Mieru'kar. It was even rumored some of the players were made members of Black Sun. Not to be out done this years team has already deactivated its number one draft pick after he was indicted for whipping his child. The KOTF SBL league office released a statement deploring the alleged child abuse but they are waiting to see if any possible NOVAcom holovid coverage will be released before rendering judgement.
 
The Sizhran Sentinels ended last season with the leagues best record but could not win a playoff game. They have continued the slide losing last week to the Shizian Hawkbats a new team with the most athletic wideout in shockball. The Shownar Shredder Bats scored the most points last week defeating the Oshora Sand Twisters and Artesian Argonauts held the Garuda Remnant Raiders to the lowest score of the week. The season will continue for the next three months.
 
Next season we will be adding four more teams for a league maximum of twenty.
 
On behalf of everyone at the Knights of The Fountain thank you for tuning into the Sporting News.
