After the 2009 season KSL had decided to move back to Yahoo. This move was because many of the features for MFL were going to go unused. Because of the move, we saw a drop of two teams from KSL. Ryan Skender and Jon Occhi had left but the others stayed the same. This dropped KSL from a 16 team league down to a 14 team. With the uneven teams, KSL moved to a 2 division system. In an effort to keep divisional games more important, we had select multiple divisional games within each division. This did prove to be odd at the end of the year when some teams had more divisional games than others. With a 14 team KSL, we moved back to an 8 team playoff system. This meant 6 teams wouldn't be making the playoffs.

Week 1-5

In the 5BBB Division Ty Boardman becomes the clear divisional leader by winning 5 straight. Meanwhile Snider loses his first 2 but wins his next 3 and Ty Palmer also had 3 wins. Aaron and Doug were only able to get 2 wins whereas Kevin and Nanninga were only able to get one.

Over at PBnJ Andy and Oberg share the division by getting 4 wins. Brian and Mike had 3 wins a piece. Dave Pate and Blake were able to only get 2 to start off the season. Meanwhile, Travis was at the bottom with 5 straight losses.

Week 6-10

Ty Boardman moved to be the guy to beat even though he had 2 loses during this time. Snider and Aaron were able to get 4 more wins during this time. Kevin was able to overcome a 1-4 record to finish 5-5 at the end of week 10. Doug, Nanninga and Palmer were able to add 2 more wins each during this 5 week span but all were still in the playoff hunt.

PBnJ saw Dave Pate go on a 5 game win streak to challenge the others in his division for the title. Mike and Oberg were able to win 3 more during this time to finish in the top of their divisions. Andy got 2 more wins and was in contention for the division title as well. After starting off 3-2, Brian was only able to amass one more win during this time frame to fall down from the top. Blake and Travis weren't able to win any games during this time frame. This extended Travis' losing streak to 10 straight.

Week 11-13

For the playoff push, we saw Ty Boardman add 2 more wins to his season total but lost to Kevin Smith which allowed him to make the playoffs. Snider was only able to add one more win but it was good enough to make him finish 8-5. Aaron was able to add 2 more to finish 8-5 too. Kevin's last minute push allowed him to not only make the playoffs but keep his streak of not having a losing record alive. Meanwhile, Palmer lost his last 3 in a row to knock him out of the playoffs and Doug was only able to win 2 which caused him to miss the playoffs for the first time in his career. Dave Nanninga made a big push for the playoffs by winning his last 3 in a row but he wasn't able to get enough help to make the playoffs.

Mike continued his winning streak by winning his last 3 and finishing 9-4. Dave Pate only won one more game but still made the playoffs. Oberg finished off the year by going on a 3 game losing streak and losing his chance to win the division. Andy also had some bad luck but he still finished 8-5. Brian had lost so many games early on that his last 3 games continued his losing streak and stopped him from making the playoffs. Blake hadn't won a game since week 5 and even lost one match to Travis who was on an 11 game losing streak, a KSL Record.

Playoffs

The playoffs saw Ty Boardman as the top seed taking on Kevin Smith. This was a rematch from the week before where Kevin was the victor. Ty was able to beat Kevin this week to move on to the next round. Mike was the #2 seed and he was able to take down the #7 seed Andrew. Meanwhile Dave Pate was the #3 seed and he was able to take down the #6 seed Oberg. In a rematch from week 13 Aaron took on Snider who hadn't beat Aaron in the regular season but this time around, Snider was the victor. This was the first time since 2002 where KSL had the top 4 seeds move on to the second round.

In the second round Ty Boardman took down Joe Snider and Mike Smith took down Dave Pate in a rematch from the 2007 KSL Championship game.

For the championship game we saw Ty Boardman take on Mike Smith. This was the second time in KSL history where we saw the top two teams take on each other in the finals. Mike was the first player to make it to the championship finals twice in his career and became the first to become a 2-time KSL Champion by defeating Ty.

Legacy

Blake had stated this would be his last season and unfortunately, he did not perform as well as he did in the past. His team finished at 2-11, the second worst record in KSL history. After Travis was unable to draft his team live, he didn't put much effort into his team and eventually finished the season with the worst record in KSL history at 1-12. Because of his lack of commitment, it was decided that we would move to a 12 team league.

We also saw a first in KSL. Mike was able to win his second KSL Conference Championship and his second KSL Championship

The move back to Yahoo was a little bumpy but after the 2010 season, things had settled down.
