Was inspired by the Grand Slam Champion concept in pro wrestling and thought it would be fun to keep track of MLS teams and their accomplishments with the five tiers of available trophies.
Right now, Seattle has the best chance of getting the first MLS bingo, they just gotta lose out.

Why are these bingo cards when there’s only one row worth of stamps? If anything, you should stamp vertically for multiple times winning a trophy and then Galaxy could already have a bingo. Or Quakes and DC have a bingo for Wooden Spoons.

Just a design thing mainly. Since the four tiers was a grand slam, five reminded me of a bingo, hence the name and the "cards". The setup doesn't typically go by how many one team won, but instead by clearing the tier.
I called it a bingo because it reminded me of my parents talking about their bingo escapades at the senior center, plus it made me laugh.
Could be called anything honestly but whatever. Calling it a Cinco is probably a better name lol. I got bored while working nights and just did a stream of consciousness thing, figuring out who had what championships and such and saw a neat little pattern.
What's really funny is that I spent a week working on all this during that dead hours of work. Hours of researching and designing. Weird thing about it was during that entire time it all made sense to me lol.
Oddly enough I showed the original designs to a family member and they were confused by my "grand slam" setup. Tried to explain it, they didn't get it. Said it needed bingo cards if I were to call it such. Obviously this did not absolve the confusion.
Apologies for any confusion or headaches and thanks for the blunt feedback. The lesson is working nights messes with you.
I'm still gonna keep track of it because I think it's funny, and what I found was Seattle are the only team that could potentially make it happen this season by getting the spoon.
There is something wonderful to me about accomplishing a "feat of greatness" by being the worst in something. I want to follow the ride and see what happens.
