The league will be divided into two conferences, Angus and Charbray, with makeup determined by blind draw on draft night. BSFL teams will play an 11 game regular season schedule with conference and inter-conference games counting in the standings. Ties in conference standings will be broken according to the following: 1) most total points scored both offensively and defensively by starters; 2) most head-to-head points scored; and 3) best record against conference opponents. The 12th week of play will consist of two championship series semifinals (#1: 1st place Angus Conference v 2nd place Charbray Conference; #2: 2nd place Angus v 1st place Charbray) and two consolation series semifinals (#1: 3rd place Angus v 4th place Charbray; #2: 4th place Angus v 3rd place Charbray). The two conference 5th place teams will play two Hamburger Bowl games with 7th place determined by: 1) the winner of both games; and if split, 2) the most total points scored in the two games. The 13th week of play will consist of the BSFL Bowl Round: Tenderloin Bowl XVIII (determines 1st & 2nd), Porterhouse Bowl XVIII (determines 3rd & 4th), Sirloin Bowl XVII (determines 5th & 6th), Chuck Bowl XV (determines 7th & 8th), and the second game of Hamburger Series XVIII.

Team scoring will be determined by performances of the following lineup as submitted each week by franchise owner -
|

|
| Roster Change |
From the time after the weekly lineup submission deadline until the following Tuesday at 12 noon, player transactions will be cached. Assignments will not officially be made until after the 12 noon Transaction Deadline. Worst record, based on win-loss percentage, will have priority in cases of the same player being designated more than once. After the initial cache period, transactions revert to first come from 1 p.m, Tuesday through the weekly lineup submission deadline. Fee is $6 per roster change. A dropped player becomes eligible to be picked up by another team unless he is a designated Bye Week Player.
One Bye Week Player may be dropped for that week's play with a replacement added if the team has no other options at a particular position because of multiple off weeks. That player is then protected from being selected by another franchise. However, the Bye Week Player must return to the roster for the next week of play and the replacement must return to the player pool. Fee for a Bye Week transaction is $12 ($6 drop and $6 reselection), and must be specifically designated at the time of the transaction. The bye week "freeze" can only be utilized once per week if no other option exists in order to field a full team. A "freeze" can't be used to avoid replacing a non-bye week player who has been injured, suspended, or otherwise unable to play.
If it is announced that a player is out for the year, a replacement must be added and $6 roster change fee paid.
Roster change fees are used to increase stat leader payouts at season's end.

|
| Tiebreaker |
|
Ties resulting from scoring by starting lineups will be broken by the point total of each team's reserve place kicker. Those points, if utilized to break a tie, will count as if reserve place kickers are in lineups along with starting place kickers.
|
|
|
In case of bye week conflict: A place kicker can be added to serve as the tiebreaker, but must be dropped with the kicker he replaced returning to the roster. The fee for a bye week tiebreaker freeze transaction is half of other freeze transactions and isn't considered as the single bye conflict freeze allowed by a team in a week.
Tiebreaker progression: In regular season games, reserve place kickers serve as the only tiebreaker - if their point totals are the same, then the game is recorded as a tie. In playoff and bowl games when a win-loss outcome is a necessity, the reserve place kicker serves as the primary tiebreaker. If the tie persists, the reserve quarterback's points are added, and, if the tie still isn't broken, the points of the reserve receiver are included. If utilized to break a tie, stats registered by that player will count in individual and team statistical categories.
