The Bedistan Football League consists of the second through fifth levels of domestic football (soccer) competition in the Grand Dominion of Bedistan.

Structure

The BFL consists of four divisions of twenty clubs each, named, appropriately enough, the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Divisions. The top three in each division at the end of each season are promoted to the division directly above, while the bottom three in all except the Fourth Division are relegated to the division directly below. The top three clubs in the First Division are promoted to the Bedistan Premier League.

League play consists of a total of 38 matches for each club, as they play each other club twice, once at home and once away. Final league standings are determined first by points (three per win and one per draw), then by goal difference (goals conceded subtracted from goals scored), and then by goals scored. So far there has never been a situation where a tie still resulted after all three criteria were taken into account.

History

The original BFL was Bedistan's first professional football league, which ran from 2014 through 2018. In its first season, it consists of a single division of twenty clubs, with a Second Division added in 2015.

The BFL in its current form was formed at the beginning of 2065, after the BPL chose to break ties with the Bedistan Football Association because they did not like the Association's mandates regarding who could or could not play in the BPL. The BFA still recognizes the BPL as an official competition, though.
