Introduction

The Test amateur football league is a semi-professional football league in the United States. It was founded in 1898 as a way to provide a competitive outlet for players who were not good enough to play in the National Football League (NFL).

The Test league is divided into two divisions: the North American Football Conference (NAFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each division has 12 teams, and the season runs from September to December.

Test action

The top two teams from each division qualify for the playoffs, which are held in January. The winner of the playoffs is crowned the Test champion.

History

The Test league was founded in 1898 by a group of football enthusiasts who wanted to create a more competitive outlet for players who were not good enough to play in the NFL. The league's first season consisted of just four teams, but it has since grown to become one of the largest semi-professional football leagues in the United States.

Test match

The Test league has produced a number of NFL players over the years, including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers. The league has also been featured in several movies and television shows, including "The Longest Yard" and "Friday Night Lights."

Rules and regulations

The Test league follows the same rules and regulations as the NFL, with a few exceptions. For example, the Test league does not have a salary cap, and players are allowed to play for multiple teams in a season.

Test teams

The Test league also has a stricter drug testing policy than the NFL. Players are randomly tested for banned substances throughout the season, and those who are caught doping are subject to suspension or expulsion.
