SIT 2011 (Season 3)

The third season of SIT Foolsball featured ten teams competing in two divisions; eight of the ten members are still active in the league. The league switched hosting sites to Yahoo Sports, allowing for more commissioner control, which was mostly used to keep scoring settings somewhat similar to the CBS days, but also to craft better league continuity. The league contracted from twelve teams to ten, and went to a two division format. The playoffs were expanded to six teams, and the tradition of a rivalry week began.

Divisions
Green Division was created via a merger of the former Blue Division and Yellow Division which each supplied two teams, and a fifth was added as a transfer from Red. Red Division expanded with two teams returning, one each transferring from the former Yellow and Blue divisions, and a new squad playing in their inaugural season.

Green Division

 * Dumbledore's Army | merge yellow
 * A-Team | merge yellow
 * Rocket Surgery | merge blue
 * Da Flash Gitz | merge blue
 * Green Sox | transfer red

Red Division

 * Pink Panthers | return
 * Crankiteers | return
 * Team Orion | new team
 * Mud City Maulers | transfer blue
 * No-No Squares | transfer yellow

Regular Season
The third season of the league went to a 5-3-5 schedule format. Due to divisions with odd numbers of teams, there was a inter-division game each week, but the focus of the first and last five regular season games were divisional matches, with the middle three games being entirely inter-divisional and having Rivalry Week in the center. With six of ten teams qualifying for playoffs, the third season began a period of lower emphasis on regular season play, slightly balanced by division winners getting bye-weeks at the start of the playoffs. Thompson Tanker won the Green Division title with a 9-4 record on a points-scored tiebreaker after going neck and neck with Rocket Surgery. Mud City Maulers won the Red Division title with a 10-3 record, and having gone undefeated in division matches.

Postseason
In addition to the division winners, four Wild Card spots were awarded to Pink Panthers of Red Division, and to Rocket Surgery, Da Flash Gitz, and Green Sox of Green Division. In the quarterfinals, Rocket Surgery defeated Da Flash Gitz, while Pink Panthers defeated Green Sox. In the semifinals, Mud City Maulers defeated Pink Panthers, and Rocket Surgery upset Thompson Tanker. In the championship game, Mud City Maulers took out Rocket Surgery to earn their second league title.
