Essentially a football league, the league plays with a modified code, adopting rules from indoor soccer and the traditional sport. All matches are played at the Bermuda National Stadium with a reduced pitch size.
Players for each team are selected through an American-style draft system.
Teams
The premier league is known as the Cellular One Adult league.
All teams play at the National Stadium in Hamilton.
