TCT Champion's Division

 When the Backroom Division was announced back in 2018, Anthony was one of the first managers to want in.  In his rookie season, Anthony brought his team, Donald Trump, to the semi-finals finishing 3rd.  He repeated that success the following year, again losing in the semis and finishing 4th.  Amazingly, he repeated again, and again lost in the semis to finish 4th.  After multiple close calls in the Backroom, Anthony made it to the finals where he lost, but in doing so, secured his ticket to the Champion's Division.  In his first year playing with TinCan's best, he co-founded the UA (Unholy Alliance) and secured the top title becoming the 2022 TinCan Tavern Fantasy Football Champion!

Commissioner and founder of the TinCan Tavern Fantasy Football League, Chris started the TCT Champion's Division and the BlackSheep Division in 2015.  After added interest in the league, Chris expanded, adding the BackRoom Division in 2018 and the Bush League in 2022.  He is the host of the Commissioner's Desk Podcast.  He is currently the only 2 time champion in any division.  Due to a side bet between him and his co-host Chace Jabotte, the Commissioner was denied his planed retirement and will be back for the 2023 season.

2019 Champion

Dave joined the league in 2015 when it was initially formed.  Dave's teams grew a reputation for starting off hot and cooling down just before the push to the playoffs.  In 2018 Forever SoCo was cold enough to finish 10th, dropping Dave and his team down to the Backroom Division.  Dave found his stride in the Backroom.  He finished 3rd in 2020, and when Manager Kevin Macedo decided to stay in the division to defend his belt, Forever SoCo was elevated to the Champion's Division once again.  In 2022 Dave just missed glory with a strong push in the playoffs but finished 4th.  We'll see what 2023 holds for the elder statesman of the Champion's Division.

Rival:  Manager Kenny Almeida

Dan joined the TCT Fantasy Football League in 2018 as one of the inaugural managers of the Backroom Division.  After a rough rookie season, Dan rebounded the next year winning the Backroom Division belt in 2019.  He moved up to the TCT Champion's Division the following season and hasn't looked back.  A perennial playoff contender, Dan hasn't been able to replicate the success he found in the Backroom, but all that could change in a single season.  Maybe 2023 is that season?

2019 Champion

Chris was the last manager added to the 2018 roster in the newly established Backroom Division.  He made the most of his rookie campaign, falling just short of the title, finishing 2nd.  This was enough to boost him up to the TCT Champion's Division.  In only his 2nd season in the league, Chris took home the top title in 2019.  From the tipity top to the very bottom, Chris went from 1st to worst in 2020 and found himself in the Backroom once again for the 2021 season.  From first to worst to first again, Chris Ditata led the Toilet Bowl Champs to the Backroom Title becoming the first manager to have held both belts.  To continue his typical see-saw pattern, he followed that championship with another down year.  If the pattern holds true, 2023 may be the year of the Crit.

2021 Champion

Joining the league in 2016, Al led the Men of Steel to a 4-9 record, finishing 9th.  Vowing to never let that happen again, the Men of Steel have not finished lower than 6th for the next 5 seasons.  Al came close to the title in 2018, but couldn't finish the job, falling to Wild Pony in the championship match.  The 2022 season was almost Al's last.  After a horrible start and a vow to quit if he finished bottom two, Al was able to lead the Men of Steel out of harms way and lives to see another day.  Known for his awful trade negotiations and dirty tactics, he has formed a rivalry with Manager Chris Bettencourt.

Part of the original group of managers to form the Champion's Division in 2015, Chris Stephens struggled through his first two seasons in the league.  In 2017 Chris hit the jackpot with a team full of Kansas City players.  That year he took home the title.  In 2018 he made the playoffs, and finished 3rd in 2019.  The 2021 season was a huge drop off.  Chris was able to avoid last place, but was dropped to the Backroom Division after a 9th place finish.  After two seasons in the Backroom, Chris righted the ship and finished just short of the championship.  Though he didn't get the belt, he moved back up to where it all began.  Welcome back to the Champion's Division.
