BBL to re-jig format

The BBL is to move to two-legged play-off quarter-finals next season, Britball has learnt.

The move, according to league sources, comes in response to unhappiness at the lack of revenue for away teams in the first round of the end-of-season competition.

A proposal to move the BBL Trophy to the start of the campaign remains under consideration but it was postponed at last week’s meeting of the league’s board.

However it is likely that the 2010-11 campaign will start a week earlier to accommodate the switch.
