The British National League will be leaner and (hopefully) meaner in 2009. The league has lopped its entire North Division from the schedule, leaving five teams for the April 19 openers.
The London Mets and Richmond Flames will meet in a doubleheader in a rematch of last season’s title game, which was won by the Mets, 11-4. The Mets dominated the 2008 campaign by winning 23 of 24 games by an average score of 10-2. In the other twinbill, the Croydon Pirates will take on the Hertfordshire Falcons. Herts won Britain’s AAA level championship last year before being invited to move up to the National League this year. The Bracknell Blazers will open play April 26.
This season, the British playoffs will use a double-elimination format among the top four teams in the regular season standings. The playoffs will be held the last weekend of August.
