"HISTORY OF THE TITLE BELT"
written by Drewmanster
The Title Belt (purely a thought concept; there is no physical belt) was first implemented at the beginning of Season 5, with the Belt first being given to Drewmanster following a title win. It ended with F1DL5TYX, as he won the championship that season.
The idea is simple - beat the man who has the Belt and you’ll earn it for yourself to defend throughout your schedule.
Ever since that Season, whoever has control of the belt at the beginning and end of a season has been tracked. More recently, in Seasons 8 and 9, the full passing around of the belt has been catalogued. Today, I will be diving deep throughout our history and listing every single exchange the belt has (retroactively) seen.
Having won the Season 1 championship, DPS in Season 2 is our starting point. He won 4 games to start the following year, making that reign with the Belt four games. We will count the game in which the Belt is won over, as in the case of someone winning the Belt and losing their very next game they would not be recognized otherwise.

While the Title Belt showcases individual skill, it does not tell the whole story, especially before the schedule consisted of a round robin; while earning possession of the Title Belt both depends on beating the current holder, it also depends on having them on your schedule in the first place.
In the pre-Round Robin Era (Season 2-Season 6), the Title Belt would stay in the same conference until the Tecmo Bowl decided the next conference to possess it. With the schedule more open these days, there are more opportunities for the Belt to pass hands
