League Structure
The league operates under a single-tier structure composed of six regional conferences.
Over the course of the regular season, each team plays eight regular season games. The top two teams from each division enter the play-offs, with the winners of the north and south brackets competing in the BUAFL playoff final, which was traditionally held at the South Leeds Stadium, although the 2010 final was held at Sixfields Stadium in Northampton.
In addition, there is a competition called the Challenge Trophy, which was first contested in the 2008-09 season. At the end of the regular season, competed by the teams with the best competitive record outside those who have gone through to the regular play-offs. The winner of these play-off matches play in the final which is held at the Sixfields Stadium.

Famous quotes containing the words league and/or structure:
“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
“With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
