==Championship Trophy==
===Scoring leaders===
Sandi Ishii created the championship trophy to be awarded each season of the Ortiz Bowl league. It depicts a person in a football helmet reclining in a reclining chair and sports the plaque "Ortiz Bowl League Champion". The trophy is passed from champion to champion each season. The shape of the trophy gave rise to the nickname for the last place finisher each year: [[#The Footstool|The Footstool]].
Winning or losing depends on who you happen to be playing, but one's overall score remains for the course of the entire season. Below are the teams that scored the most points throughout the regular season, regardless of record.

===Coaching rating leaders===
There are many games where you say, "Well, if I would've started this guy on my bench, I ''would've'' won!" Fair enough, but the best coach will be able to predict which of their players is going to have the best game. The coaching rating takes a team's ''actual'' lineups and compares them to their ''best possible'' lineup each week and determines the difference. The best possible rating is 0 (i.e. you started the best possible lineup every week), which is nearly impossible to achieve, so the closer one can get to zero, the better. Below is a list of the best managers for each season determined by coaching rating. (Note: Stats currently unavailable for the 2022 season.)

===The Hard Luck Hamster===
Unlike a real football game, the team you're playing has no affect on your own team's performance, meaning a loss during a given week may have been a win against some other team had the matchups been different. For example, in the very first game of [[Ortiz Bowl I|the first edition of the Ortiz Bowl]], the California Cats lost to Dodgers suck by a score of 173.28 to 115.42. It was a lopsided loss, but had the California Cats been playing the WGG Dogz (99.00), Teeth (102.70), Mountain Raige (110.56), or Nacho Cheese Ortiz (115.08) that week, they would have won. Consequently, the loss was poor luck, having been matched up against someone who happened to score better that week.
 
As a result of the way the competition works, one team will have the bad fortune of seemingly being matched up against a team having their best week every week. Their losses may owe more to the schedule than their own performance, and for that reason, the team that gives up the most points during the regular season is awarded with the Hard Luck Hamster in recognition of their incredibly poor luck.

The Ortiz Bowl League Championship Trophy.

The Ortiz Bowl is a family NFL fantasy football competition David organized for his family. The inaugural competition, dubbed Ortiz Bowl I, was held during the 2022 NFL season, and successive competitions have been held each year since. The competition is fierce, with champions claiming bragging rights for the remainder of the year, and all vanquished competitors offering them their due reverence.

Scoring leaders

Winning or losing depends on who you happen to be playing, but one's overall score remains for the course of the entire season. Below are the teams that scored the most points throughout the regular season, regardless of record.

Edition Year Team Manager(s) Points Scored Record Result
Ortiz Bowl I 2022 I like tacos Curran Beljajev 2,154.86 8-6 3rd Place

There are many games where you say, "Well, if I would've started this guy on my bench, I would've won!" Fair enough, but the best coach will be able to predict which of their players is going to have the best game. The coaching rating takes a team's actual lineups and compares them to their best possible lineup each week and determines the difference. The best possible rating is 0 (i.e. you started the best possible lineup every week), which is nearly impossible to achieve, so the closer one can get to zero, the better. Below is a list of the best managers for each season determined by coaching rating. (Note: Stats currently unavailable for the 2022 season.)

For example, in the very first game of the first edition of the Ortiz Bowl, the California Cats lost to Dodgers suck by a score of 173.28 to 115.42.

As a result of the way the competition works, one team will have the bad fortune of seemingly being matched up against a team having their best week every week.

The Footstool

The last place finisher wins the dreaded Footstool, so called for being the thing the winner rests their feet on. During the first season of the Ortiz Bowl league, the winner of the Footstool got to create a new rule for the league. In future seasons, it seems likely that the last place finisher will get to choose their position in the draft, barring expansion.
