GB League New Season 2022-23

October saw the start of the new GB League season. After a successful first year we really want to boost the capacity of this season’s league by inviting as many BF affiliated clubs as possible to get involved. Find out more about the league and the introduction of our mini-league series which gives you more chances to win.

The GB League 2022-23 season has started and we’ve already had our first few fixtures take place. This season has seen the introduction of the Mini League series, there are three Mini Leagues that take place across the year;

• Autumn Mini League – this runs from October 2022 – December 2022
• Winter Mini League – January 2023 – March 2023
• Spring Mini League – April 2023 – June 2023

Any points from fixtures that take place in the timeframes above will be added up to give us Mini League Winners in each category as well as going towards the current season’s national leaderboards. This means you still have a chance to join in even if you decide to start your GB league journey in the new year.

Clubs – Get Involved

Registering a GB League Fixture is easy, all you need to do is tell us when you would like to run your fixture, what format you are doing (5 Hit or 15 Hit) and which weapon. From there, BF will create the fixture and provide you with an entry link so participants can sign up easily.

The fixtures are run through the Playwaze platform in the GB League community, clubs don’t need to do anything on their own Playwaze club profiles, as explained below, BF takes care of everything and there is no cost to clubs or participants.

Running a Fixture:

1. Check everyone has a BF Recreational level membership and a free Playwaze profile (profiles are created at the moment of sign up to the fixture).
2. The simplest way to run a fixture is to print out/draw/put on a whiteboard a blank poule unique (BF have assets you can use or design your own). Have participants record their scores (clearly!) and send a screenshot or photo to BF and they can upload the results for you. A designated GB League Leader can also do this themselves – just get BF to update your access level on Playwaze.
3. Watch the points build up!

There is a lot of flexibility within running a fixture, it has been designed as such to work with your regular club sessions. BF are always on hand to help with technical questions or provide support.
