BRIT TOWERS HERALD

  A change from the past two weeks updates from Brit Towers.  Instead of posting the results and the standings on the blog, these will now be shared as snapshots on our Twitter (please follow - @BritishFFL ) and the blog will be used to give a summary on the week which was. BFFL The defending champions, Essex Wolverines, are still searching for their first win and find themselves adrift in the East Division. It is Medway Tigers who surge ahead, with over 200+ PF average and an unbeaten record. They will want to keep this momentum going as they face Newcastle Lions, who won the BFFL North in 2020. Over in the North, Edinburgh take top spot after their win against Manchester but come up against a tough Cambridge Dragons team in Week 4. The South is as close as it was in 2020. All four teams are on a 1-1 divisional record and now they entertain the teams from the West. Brighton Sharks still sit top with their two wins, all the other three teams on a 1-2. The West has that familia...

  The 2021 season in the Brit Towers universe is going to be huge for many reasons across our six levels, mostly in part to the promotion and relegation system kicking in. This format did not exist for our inaugural 2020 season as the teams settled in to the top three levels, leaving 32 teams to compete in regional divisions within the BFU to decide who would form the fourth level BFU for 2021 and who would form the fifth level BFO. Add to this the addition of British Bulldog, our bestball format level, which will join the promotion and relegation system in 2022 and it is easy to see why this is such a big season. For an in-depth look at the season ahead here is what will be happening in the Brit Towers universe for 2021: THE BFFL CUP A new "F.A. Cup" style addition to the league formats, where all 96 teams will be able to go up against each other in this knockout competition. Barriers of which level a team plays in will be broken down and every team has a chance to lift the ...

  A new competition, separate from the league structures for 2021. The brain-child of Dan (Charlton Valiants) and Chris (Jurassic Coast Jackrabbits). A WORD FROM THE ORGANISERS The BFFL Cup. 80 Teams. 0 Tiers. Giant Killing. It's A Knockout. The BFFL Cup was borne out of the idea of further building the community spirit of the BFFL; hopefully bringing about new rivalries, brother/sister-hoods and shared tactics. It's roots lie more in 'soccer' than NFL and the cup clearly takes its cues from the FA Cup in the UK. No longer will GM's have to wait two, three or four years of promotion in order to face their local rivals. Now, the luck of the draw is all that stands in the way. For the GM's it is a chance to win twice in a week, console themselves with a cup win after a league loss or, perish the thought, take a double-L and promptly oversee a complete franchise overhaul. The format is simply head-to-head and GM's won't be required to do anything in order t...
