Sorry, ‘Biters, You’ve Been Demoted

Even though there is still snow on the ground, the BTSH season is rapidly approaching.  Once again, the league will consist of 20 teams divided into two conferences and four divisions.  As a reward for winning their respective divisions, the Tompkins Square Riots, Fresh Kills, and the Rehabs have been promoted to a higher division.  In addition, despite failing to win the prestigious, yet imaginary, Fairy Tale Cup, the Happy Little Elves were also promoted.  Here is the new divisional breakdown:

Weyersberg Conference
Rubens Division: Corlears Hookers, Denim Demons, Filthy Gorgeous, Happy Little Elves, Rehabs
Hackett Division: Dark Rainbows, Fresh Kills, LBS, Inc., Sky Fighters, What The Puck

Schumacher Conference
Donohue Division: Butchers, Cobra Kai, La Famiglia, Tompkins Square Riots, Unicorns
MacNeil Division: Gouging Anklebiters, Gut Rot, Mathematics, Mega Touch, Poutine Machine

As in 2010, each team will play the other four teams in its division twice, the other five in its conference once, and five teams from the other conference once.

Regular season play will commence on Sunday, March 27.  As is now tradition, Opening Day will consist primarily of divisional games and will feature a rematch of the preceding season’s championship.  The full schedule will be released on Tuesday, March 1, but to whet your appetite, the Opening Day schedule is posted after the break.
