BFFA Champions League = $150
Starting after the first international break, the best sixteen teams of last season will meet for a chance to be declared the best-of-the-best. Mirroring the UEFA format, the first round sorts the teams into four groups of four, playing a home-and-away round-robin. After six games each, the top two in each group go on to the knockout rounds. The teams finishing third will fall into the Intramural League.

The BFFA Cup Winner: Champions = $150, Runners-Up = $50
Starting in January, all forty teams will be entered into a knockout competition. The top twenty-four pointscoring teams before the First Round Draw will get a bye to the Second Round. After that, it’s a straight knockout. The winners will also be entered into the 2024 Champions League.

Best-ish: Champions = $150, Runners-Up = $50
The top pointscoring team of the season (after GW38) will win the Best-ish award, AKA: The “Almost as cool as George Best award.”
