Sioux Falls Storm went on a winning streak, winning the 2011-2016 United Bowls, inclusive. In 2012 they beat Nebraska Danger 43-40, the following year they dispatched the same side 63-46, and then in 2015 completed a three-in-a-row over Nebraska Danger 62-27. They won their sixth-in-a-row in 2016, 55-34 over Spokane Empire, before finally being dethroned in 2017, losing to former Arena Football League Major League side Arizona Rattlers 50-41.

They lost again in United Bowl 42-38 against another former AFL side, Iowa Barnstormers, before gaining revenge over Arizona in the 2019 United Bowl, winning 56-53. In all it was a remarkable 10th United Bowl appearance in-a-row, seven of which they won.

About the IFL

The Indoor Football League is a AAA Professional American Football League, playing 8v8 Arena Football, which was founded in 2009 from the merger of the United Football League and the Intense Football League. Its’ reach was National in USA as it was notable for being the first Pro League to put teams in Alaska. In 2013 it became a League operating solely west of the Mississippi after losing its East Coast Franchises to the Professional Indoor Football League (see: https://eirball.ie/2020/02/16/professional-indoor-football-league-2012-2015/ )

About Indoor Football

Indoor Football, also known as Arena Football was developed in 1986 as an 8v8 form of Indoor American Football. After an initial few seasons where the game was developed with a 4 team league, a full seasons League with eventually over a dozen teams was developed in the 1990 which was considered by the Wall Street Journal to be a fifth major.

The Arena Football League over-expanded in the 2000s with a Minor League, and its importance (and number of teams) waned since it first experienced financial diffulties  in 2009, and it ceased operations after the 2019 season due to the legacy debt incurred.

There is now, however, Indoor Football Leagues all over America, all of which would now be considered Minor League or Semi-Pro (AAA, AA, or even A)

Indoor Football is played on a 50-yard field with two 8-yard endzones, and teams have 5 downs (attempts) to reach the endzone or the ball is turned over. 3 of those downs must be passing plays, making Indoor Football highly explosive and high scoring.

About the PIFL / IPFL

The Professional Indoor Football League was the first to challenge the legal status of the Arena Football League as the copyright owner to the Arena Football Rules & Name.

The Arena Football League had copyrighted the name Arena Football and Indoor Football, and also 8-v-8 Indoor or Arena Football Rules in 1987. However, in 1997 the PIFL set up in opposition to it, playing mainly in smaller markets of 12,000 or less. THE AFL took it gto court, and lost, the Judge ruling only the Rebound Nets either side of the goalposts were AFL copyrighted, the rest was Football, which had already existed, in some form or another, whether Indoor, or 8v8. [Reference: 5-6]

The League was based in smaller cities and Arenas, throughout the United States, but primarily in the West and South, with teams also in the Midwest and Northeast.

About Arena / Indoor Football

Indoor (also known as Arena) Football plays an 8 v 8 version of American Football on a converted Ice Hockey Rink 50-yards long with 2 10 -yard endzones. Teams have 5 downs (attempts) to score or the ball is turned over – 3 of which must be passing plays. It is therefore a higher scoring game than standard 11 v 11 American Football. The main difference between Arena Football and Indoor Football is that there is no rebound net either side of the goalposts in Indoor Football. Arena Football rules allow the ball stay in play when it comas back off the rebound nets.

Report

Gridiron, or American Football, was first played in South Australia in 1986. The Eastside Razorbacks won the first Championship 36-12 over the Brighton Breakers. The other two teams in the League the inaugural season were the Port Adelaide Spartans and Southern District Longhorns. They were joined by the Eagles for the second season, and the Razorbacks repeated as Champions, winning 7-6, again against the Breakers.

There were no new teams in 1988, and the Port Adelaide Spartans upset the status quo, beating two-time defending Champions the Eastside Razorbacks 18-0 in the Final. The 1989 season saw an expansion to six teams as the Elizabeth Lions entered the fray. The Razorbacks won back their title 28-12, against the Brighton Breakers, yet again – the third time in four years they had beaten them in the Final.
