Team names

A few corrections, curiosities and oddities about the names of the teams playing the Conejo Valley League:

Celtics
The best team in the league has been renamed simply Celtics for the current season. CSC 76 Celtics is the name it used in the Spring league. but it has been shortened for the Fall championship. Unfortunately the league commissioners overlooked this change when the Fall schedule was published, and only last week the correct name of the team was made public. By the way CSC 76 stands for Conejo Soccer Club 1976 - a reference to the year of foundation. Listing a club's foundation year in its name is common to German and Scandinavian squads, and the Conejo dudes followed such practice.

FS Blue Lightning
As suspected by the Lebowski FC management, the proper name of this team is Blue Lightning, and not "Lighting". There was a typo in the documents released by the league administration.
FS stands for Four Seasons, as the team players are employees of that hotel.

F.S. United
As for Blue Lightning, the F.S. United name means Four Seasons United. Note that United uses periods in the abbreviation "F.S.", but Blue Lightning does not - and this is a most important piece of information.
