When the American Ultimate Disc League was established, thePhiladelphia Spinners began as one of the eight founding teams, winning the first AUDL championship on August 11, 2012. However, two months later, team owner, coach, and general manager Jeff Snader announced that his intentions to withdraw from the AUDL and create a competing league, known asMajor League Ultimate.[2] An agreement was reached between Snader and the AUDL, allowing him to maintain ownership of the Spinners' name and logo. Just a few weeks after Major League Ultimate was announced, the Philadelphia Phoenix were announced as a replacement for the Spinners for the 2013 season,[3] though the league's official records include the Spinners' 2012 season as part of the Phoenix's history.[4]
