Ten Ten is an annual holiday occurring on October 10. The purpose of the holiday is for teams that have not yet been incinerated to celebrate being un-incinerated. The holiday occurs on October 10 to commemorate the incineration of the Baltimore Texas , which occurred at the end of Toroidal/Season 20.

Background

During Toroidal/Season 20, the Commissioner released the Cancel Texas Memo, which signaled the Commissioner's intention to incinerate the Baltimore Texas at the end of the season. Plans were made for an elaborate yet tasteful incineration ceremony, to take place in Baltimore at The Alamo, with close family and loyal fans being invited to be with the Texas in their final moments. Before the ceremony began, however, the Texas were incinerated when the Commissioner accidentally sat on the incineration button, which was in a back pocket.

Baltimore was understandably upset with the Commissioner, who had not only slated the local team for incineration, but given Baltimore a replacement team staffed by Baltimore's bitter Texas Crown rivals. The Commissioner had added insult to injury by prematurely incinerating Baltimore's team.

In a misguided attempt to make up for the mistake, the Commissioner announced that there would be an announcement that would announce a new "Ten Ten" holiday on October 10. A follow-up announcement clarified the holiday would be on October 10, not the announcement. When the announcement was finally announced, the Commissioner announced that the October 10 "Ten Ten" holiday would be for non-incinerated teams only, and would celebrate being un-incinerated.

Baltimore fans were angry that "Ten Ten" would not be a solemn holiday to commemorate the Baltimore Texas, but instead would be a celebration of being everything the Baltimore Texas were not - un-incinerated, not from Baltimore, and possibly able to win a championship. The City of Baltimore declared the Commissioner persona non grata, and all Baltimore residents have received standing orders to carry out a citizen's arrest of the Commissioner if seen within Baltimore city limits.
