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:
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
