# Team Aliases

> How historical and platform-specific team aliases resolve to canonical RFFL team codes.

Aliases are historical or ESPN-specific team codes that resolve to canonical RFFL team codes.

## Rule

When importing, correcting, or answering from structured season data, resolve aliases before treating a team code as canonical.

## Examples

| Alias | Canonical | Scope | Notes                              |
| ----- | --------- | ----- | ---------------------------------- |
| BBRS  | BALL      | 2011  | Blue Ballers old code              |
| MJI   | MRYJ      | 2011  | Mary Jane old code                 |
| AC    | CHLK      | 2011  | Alpha Chalkers old code            |
| SBB   | SSBB      | 2019+ | SS Bobber Bandits ESPN variant     |
| TFF   | PKMC      | 2022  | ESPN placeholder for PKMC Unhinged |
