xxxxLeague About
The LBBA runs a full season every year. The season usually starts in October and runs through to March/April. Teams recieve 3 points for a win, 1 point for a loss. A No show occurs when the teams have agreed to play the game on a certain date, and within 72 hours of the tip off time one team cancels. In the eventuality of a no show the team not showing recieves 0 points and the other team 3 points, the score is put down as 2-0. The number of divisions for a season depends on the number of teams entering. The divisions are organised in a hierarchical structure with the team at the bottom of a division being relegated to the lower division and the team at the top of a division being promoted to the higher division. New teams are welcome to join the league before the start of a new season. They will enter into the bottom division.The way the fixtures are organised for a season depends on the number of divisions. In the current format with 2 divisions, each team plays every team in their division twice, once home and once away. They then also play every team in the other division once, who plays home and away is randomly decided, however every team will play an equal amount of home and away fixtures. These cross division fixtures are spread throughout the season at regular intervals.
Teams are ranked in the league by number of points, then points difference, then in the eventuality teams have equal points and equal points difference, position will be decided upon by head-to-head results.
