The 18th Season has officially arrived as kickoff takes place Wednesday Night September 5th. All ten teams enter the weekend with the same records, as the journey toward the ultimate goal of a Prestige Championship season begins this week. Every team has the same goal and the quest for that goal starts now. The Game of the Week features a rematch of the 2011 Wild Card matchup between National League opponents H and Lightning. Lightning will look to avenge the playoff loss and also win on opening week for the first time since 2007. In other Week 1 matchups, the two-time defending Prestige Champions A II P will try to tie the league record of 11 straight 100+ point games against the 69ers - a franchise who holds the record from 2009; The Tomcats will try to start the season off with a win for the first time since 2007 (the last time they reached the Prestige Playoffs) against 328's; Lake Show and United square off for early divisional position; The O's will hope to forget a disastrous 2011 season with a fresh start as they meet a formidable challenge in the reigning National League Champions Tormenta.

The 2012 Preseason ran for four weeks starting with the traditional Hall of Fame game between A II P and H, held in the Hall of Fame founding city of Philadelphia. The Preseason concluded with the Mexican Seafood Classic between 69ers and United in Albuquerque on August 30th in preparation for the 2012 season kickoff on Wednesday September 5th. Preseason is usually a springboard for the season in that it gives teams opportunities to gauge their rosters, most notably rookies and draft picks, as well as players in different situations. It also brings intrigue to some of the players that may have slipped through the August draft, opening the door towards the usually busy Week 1 Free Agency. History has shown that successful Preseason results do not automatically ensure team success in the Regular Season. However players that have had successful in the Preseason, usually go on to have a good season, or in the case of rookies and backups - successful futures. With the Preseason, the entire roster counts towards a team scoring each week, so it is easy to track the development and production every week.
