Da 40 Miners are proud members of the Big Ten.
They played exclusively with the other Big Ten
teams for years. The team is comprised of only
Union works from the 'Miners Local 040' coal
mining union within the Mine'Shakin Mountains.
The Union and it's workers have always been
very proud of the team. Da Miners had their
share of success in the Big Ten, but money was
still getting tight, and supporting the team was
getting harder for the union. They were faced
with the decision of either folding the team, or
sending them out on the road to join the
tournament scene that was springing up all over
the place.

Da 40 Miners today.
The franchise today is divided into 3 squads, the Tournament squad, the League squad, and the
Scout squad. There are 40 players employed by the team at all times, divided amongst the
three squads. The tournament squad gets most of the attention and a lot of fans don't bother
following the league squad any more as it is far more important to have the rest of the world
know of your greatness, rather then just ten other dwarf teams. The team has started awarding
tournament caps to players. For every tournament a player has played in they are awarded a
tournament Cap. At this point the leader in Caps is the only Miner to appear in every
tournament the Miners have played in, the teams Captain 'Golden Toe' Joe.
