I think this is a fascinating concept. This football league is composed essentially of groups of fans competing against each other in a game where they define the rules, create the teams, and even call the plays. The action in the game is performed by real humans following their instructions, as though they were coaches. What's interesting is the changing definition of 'success' in the game, and the way the players, managers and audience manage their authority to take 'randomness' out of the play selection. The league struggles with the same sort of issues student-managed learning does.
