League Structure
The BUCS Basketball League system consists of two regional Premier Leagues, North and South. Below this are five regional conferences, Northern, Midlands, Western, South Eastern, and Scottish. Each of these regional conferences consist of a number of divisions that are ranked on a tier system. Tier 1 has a single division covering the entire region, while Tier 2 and below are sub-divided (except in Scotland) into A and B divisions on a geographical basis. A team may be promoted or demoted to a higher or lower division respectively, subject to results within their division at the end of the season and the results of playoffs.
