Revision as of 13:18, 23 February 2021
The Ultimini is the annual American football game that determines the champion of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). The game culminates a season that begins in the previous calendar year and is the conclusion of the DSFL playoffs. The contest is held in the city of the home team. Since January 2018, the winner of the Southern Football Conference (SFC) Championship Game has faced the winner of the Northern Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the DSFL playoffs.
The SFC leads in Ultimini wins with 13, while the NFC has won 9. Seven franchises have won the Ultimini.
The Tijuana Luchadores (7-4) have won the most Ultiminis with eight championships, the Portland Pythons (5-6) have won five, the Minnesota Grey Ducks (Formerly the San Antonio Marshals) (4-2) have won four, the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers (Formerly the Palm Beach Solar Bears) (3-1) have won three, the Kansas City Coyotes (1–3) have one win, and the Norfolk Seawolves (1–1) have one win. Portland has the most Ultimini appearances with ten. Tijuana has the most consecutive appearances with five from 2022 to 2026, while the Portland Pythons (2024–2026 and 2029–2032) are the only other team to have more than two consecutive appearances. The Portland Pythons (4-6) have lost a record six Ultiminis, while the Tijuana Luchadores (6-3) and Kansas City Coyotes (1-3) have lost three. The San Antonio Marshals (2-2) have lost two, the Norfolk Seawolves (1-2) have lost two, the London Royals (1-1) have lost one, and the Palm Beach Solar Bears (2-0) are undefeated in title appearances. The Birddogs are the only team without an Ultimini. The Seawolves have the longest active appearance drought, from 2018 to 2037 yet this was broken with their appearance in the 2038 Ultimini. The record for consecutive wins is three and is held by the Tijuana Luchadores (2023–2025).
