What is TFO?
TFO stands for "Tecmo Fantasy Owners". The idea and rom hack are ran by the TFO Commish Roger. The entire project is named "Tecmo Fantasy Owners Football League" or "TFO Football League".
Each team in the TFO Football League has been created by a different person; an Owner of a TFO Team. These owners set the stats, names, colors, logos, and superstar players for their team via an RPG like application they were sent. In essence they have "purchased" their dream teams.
Originally after each owner submitted their team it was hacked into the original Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES. During the 2013 Season this was 24 teams in total, and in the 2014-2016 Seasons the team limit was increased to 28 teams, and for the 2017 Season and on the team limit was increased to 36 teams thanks to the use of two rom files.
To make things more interesting instead of releasing the rom right away we document each season of TFO Football through our weekly programming, with our season started the week after the NFL Superbowl. Each week TFO brings out full game footage, commentary games, video highlights, and other YouTube updates and scheduled TFO programming.
