Top-6 qualified for playoffs

NB: Verdes had originally lost the points from their matches in rounds 2 to 4
    on the grounds that player Raimundo Flores had a valid contract for Juventus
    and was therefore ineligible; however, the appeal committee ruled that his
    contract with Juventus was null and void and the BFL had not received 
    protest from the clubs (Juventus and the 3 opponents) involved, as required
    by the BFL statutes.  Juventus appealed against this at the BNFA, but their
    protest was thrown out as the BNFA did not consider itself as having powers
    to award or take points from any games.

Name changes: Grigamandala (formerly Dangriga Jaguars) changed name to Griga Tropical
              La Victoria Corozal sold its place to Metro Stars, after a merger with
                Calcutta United failed
              Yabra Tropical changed name to Kulture Yabra
              Juventud Benqueña also known as JuBe-Santa Elena

Relegated: Juventud Benqueña and San Pedro Dolphins
Promoted: Jacintoville United

Jacintoville United champions of 2nd level; according to regulations
they should automatically be promoted, but the BFL insisted they play 
off against Ambergris Turquoise (who finished 3rd from bottom at 
the top level); Jacintoville refused to play off (best of 3 system)
and in the end the BFL admitted them, leaving a 11-team league.
