History
The Random League was founded in 1941 by a group of friends who wanted to play football without the pressure of competition. The league was originally called the "Houston Amateur Football League", but it was renamed the "Random League" in the early 1950s.
The league has grown steadily over the years. In the early years, there were only a few teams in the league. Today, there are over 20 teams in the league.
The Random League has played a significant role in the development of football in Houston. Many of the players who have gone on to play professional football, such as Earl Campbell and Warren Moon, got their start in the Random League.
Rules
The Random League plays by the rules of American football. However, there are a few modifications to the rules to make the game more relaxed and fun.
For example, there is no tackling in the Random League. Players are only allowed to "bump and run" each other.
There is also no limit on the number of players on the field. Teams can have as many players as they want.
