BAFANL design

So today I posted a preview of the new BAFANL website on the leagues forum. There is a deadline in place (30th March) and I know what I want to have done to launch the site before that date. In my last post I talked about the thought process behind the site. Now the key backend parts I mentioned are up and running allowing lots of cool things revolving around fixtures to happen with dynamic standings tables and fixture lists that can be thrown into any page fairly easily.

Shameless Plug

I contributed several of my Britbowl match reports to latest Inside American Football issue, which is now available.

Had a great first season writing for the league and hope that it continues next year.

Bafanl week 17 review

With the new bafanl website having issues at the moment. I felt I would publish this week's review on my site and the old bafacl site.

One of the weekends biggest results saw Glasgow knock the Clyde Valley Blackhawks from the playoff picture and in doing so they completed a double over the Blackhawks that should now see Glasgow finishing third in Division 2 North. The Tigers made the most of home turf to put in a great 30-6 result. Over in Shropshire, Revolution finalised their qualification with a convincing 49-6 win against Staffordshire. Meanwhile Essex won their closing game of the season against Maidstone to stay 8th in Division 2 and also gain a playoff position despite the two teams ahead having not yet reached that milestone.

Amateur Sports - BAFACL

I am now the news editor for the British American Football Association Community League website. This has led me to research all of the teams in the leagues at present. In 2010 we had 51 senior teams 25 youth teams and 16 junior teams. I would say of those about half have websites. Of those very very few have the dates for the 2011 season on their websites so far, the season kicks off in a month and as far as I know the schedule was sorted a month ago.
