Beat the champ.
Take the belt.
Every league crowns one champion a year. We track the other one: a belt passed hand to hand since each league's first game, changing owners the moment somebody beats whoever's holding it.

01
It starts at game one
The winner of each league's first game picks up the belt. Everything since is one unbroken line.
02
Beat the holder, take it
Regular season or playoffs, home or away. A win over the holder is the only way the belt moves.
03
Ties go to the champ
A tie is a successful defense. If a holder's franchise folds, the belt goes back to the last holder still playing.
