===Bay City Dwarves===

(San Francisco, California) Completely failing to live up to their name, the Dwarves are a large, physical team, one that recruits crawlers that would struggle in the more cramped dungeons often found on the East Coast. While this certainly allows their crawlers to thrive at home, the team occasionally struggles on the road when forced into cramped spaces. This point was driven home when the Dwarves had to forfeit a match against the New Amsterdam Genasi when the entire team became stuck in a particularly small passage. For the most part, though, the team has been dominant in recent years, and looks to be a strong contender again this year.

===Great Basin Crusaders===

(Salt Lake City, Utah) The Great Basin Crusaders are a team focused entirely around the divine. Paladins and clerics are obvious members of their roster, but the Crusaders have been known to field inquisitors, divine scholars, and on one notable occasion, a blind oracle.

The Crusaders are unusual in that the entire team is actually a branch of the Church of the One, and the team is funded by the Church. This obviously can color people's opinions on the Crusaders, making them a team you either love or love to hate.

The Crusaders have a fierce rivalry with several teams that goes beyond the dungeon. The Crusaders see the Monterrey Aztec's use of blood magic as heretical, a fact that came to a head two years ago, when the Crusader's paladin, Trevor Greymoore, bled out rather than accept healing from an Aztec medic after becoming separated from his party. The Crusaders claim the incident is the Aztec's fault for not having "approved" healers onsite.

===Silent Bay Sharks===

(Honolulu, Hawaii) A product of the most recent expansion of the NACL, the Silent Bay Sharks have nevertheless made their mark with their stunning and risky style of dungeoneering, often playing things fast and loose. So far this organic strategy has served them well, in part thanks to the enigmatic barbarian Kahuna, who refuses to remove his tiki mask in public, and his synergy with starting sorcerer Jenna Song. The two wade into battle slinging spears and spells with fury that few teams can match.

Still, the team is not without their difficulties, as evidenced by starting rogue and team captain Alex Kanagawa’s devastating surfing injury that kept him sidelined for the entire season last year. With Kanagawa back and healthy, though, things are looking up for the Sharks.

Founded: 2008

Stadium: Mount Ka’ala 

Warrior: Kahuna [barbarian]

Mage: Jenna Song [sorcerer]

===St. Iago's Thunderbolts===

(San Diego, California) A terminally unlucky team, known for regularly getting fan's hopes up at the beginning of the Crawling season, only to unravel and disappoint at the midway point. One of their most notable recent failures came during the Half-Moon Showdown last year, when their lead warrior accidentally set off an undetected trap, triggering a chain reaction that wiped two of their star players during what should have been, by all accounts, a cake walk for the team.

Founded: 1958 (as the Angel City Thunderbolts)

Stadium: Torrey Pines 

Warrior: Benjamin Slater [fighter (TWF)]

Mage: Lia Brock [wizard (evocation)]

Healer: Mike Bass [bard]
