Revolutionary A-11 Offense is the Foundation for
New Patent-Pending Spring-Summer A-11 Professional Football League

(San Francisco, CA November 1, 2011) – Co-creator of the innovative A-11 Offense, Kurt Bryan announced plans to raise the investment capital to launch operations for a new spring-summer American pro football league, the A-11 Professional Football League based on the A-11 Offense.

Bryan has spent the year developing the league’s plan and supporting information to form the new A-11FL as “Single Entity” similar to the structure of Major League Soccer. Bryan has called upon outstanding NCAA and pro football experts to help build the League’s model and put the key elements in place, before the A-11FL commenced its campaign to raise $100 Million Dollars from a total of 5 to 10 visionary investors wanting to form the new League.

“Since pro football began ninety-years ago,” explains Bryan, “the game is radically different now, and it’s undergoing dramatic changes. Imagine what the game will look like in eighty-years?”

The A-11FL’s new brand of pro football is designed around U.S. patent-pending concepts born from the A-11 Offense (all eleven players potentially eligible), which has received millions of media impressions since its debut in 2007. According to Scientific American Magazine (September 2008), in a conventional pro football set with five fixed offensive lineman - the jersey-numbering requirement limits possible variables of who can receive the snap & advance with the ball to 36 choices. However, the A-11 Offense eliminates the jersey-numbering requirement and increases the possible post-snap variants to 16,632.

“Most NCAA football teams utilize a super-spread offensive system more in sync with the A-11 style of game than conventional pro football, respectfully. Versatile NCAA players and emerging super-spread strategies have outgrown the jersey-numbering restrictions of conventional pro football,” Bryan explained. “Fans don’t want another subpar conventional pro football league. But, the new A-11FL will feature fast, interchangeable, multi-skilled game-breaker athletes at every position. The game is becoming faster and more spread out. A-11 pro football is a quantum leap forward and our timing is right. Elite sports programming network executives have expressed very positive feedback to us about showcasing innovative A-11FL games during the spring-summer beginning in 2013. We have the top executives in place ready to onboard with the League and serious investors are negotiating with us. There’s room in America during the spring-summer for a more wide-open new A-11 pro football game to impact the marketplace. It’s very exciting and we are going to go for it. After developing the A-11 Offense we received inquiries about bringing our multiple quarterback system to the pro level. Now, for the first time pure A-11 football will be played if we join forces with the right group of investment partners that understand where the game of 11-man pro football is headed. We’re excited about the possibility of ushering in a more dynamic future of 11-man pro football that the fans will really enjoy. The A-11FL will unleash a new dimension of pro football that will allow the game to be played at its mathematical limits."

About The A-11 Football League

A-11FL is a start-up spring-summer pro football league with 10 franchise locations (TBD) under a Single Entity structure. The League will utilize U.S. patent-pending concepts of the A-11 Offense to feature thousands of new opportunities for every offensive player. The inaugural season is slated for the spring of 2013.

The AFL isn't absent. They took a season off and came back with a new business model. They played last season and have games televised on the NFL Network.

Can't fault him at all. In fact, I applaud this. While I was obviously one of the biggest opponents to his ideas within the realm of high school football, that was because I believed he was proposing a different sport, not a different style of play. This seems to recognize this fact, and while I don't see it being successful (because it is indeed a different sport, and don't think it will be well received) I don't wish any ill will upon the idea.

Techically you are corretct.

Second and third tier leagues never went defunct but the original AFL is. The original AFL ( different rules with their patent ) was taken over by the AF2 people but its still not the league it was in 2008… on a National scale. The whole arena landscape is splintered now as far as leagues go.

I'd love to comment on this post, but I'm busy getting my new basketball league ready. It's time to move away from this outdated concept of dribbling and provide a more wide-open game that fans will love and can be played to the mathematical limits. My NDBL (No Dribble Basketball League) is taking the archaic game into the future! We're also lowering the hoops to 6 feet so height of players doesn't matter any more.

This IS the way of the future for hoops, gentlemen. Better get with the program.

Man, I just realized that I have played A-11 football before. I wish I would have known that it was called the A-11, we just called it backyard football when everyone was able to catch a pass, block, or run the ball. Huh, good to know.

How do I get a patent started? I want to patent this idea I have called the K-9. We take a rubber playground ball, put 9 players in the field similar to baseball and all 9 on the other team attempt to "kick" the ball. It's like baseball, but all 9 players "kick" the ball. I think the idea could take off.

I actually respect what he is doing a heck of a lot more than what he was doing before..... Now all the stuff about "where the game is headed" and talking down to people who play traditional 11 man football (You know-the most popular sport in the country) is probably a bit much, but may be necessary to pull the investors.

Now, as I said, I don't see this playing out to fruition, because as others have said, it will come off too much as backyard ball. I just don't see the interest in this sport (because as I said when he first was on the site, this is simply a different sport) at this time

HOWEVER, I will say... as more research comes out with data not allowed on this site... well, there is a small chance that Kurt will be looking back at all of us and saying "i told you so!!!"
