Amateur League

Amateur League (AML) was formed stand-alone, later merging with Pro League to create Premier League. The AML Division ran as a stand-alone competition for a long time, before later operating solely as an AML play-offs series to teams located in that portion of the overall pyramid. With dwindling numbers in recent years, AML was merged back into Pro, but for the most part still enjoys an individual play-offs series drawn from the bottom-finishing clubs of regular season. There seem to have been forms of Amateur League that pre-dated it's recorded seasons. While Season 01 seems to align with the time period of Pro Season 05, Amateur League did indeed exist at the same time as Pro Season 01. Additionally, an 'Amateur' version of the pyramid-format Pro League prior to Pro Season 01, was formed in January 1997. Data on both these instances is difficult to unearth. Amateur League is part of the Premier League group.
