BDF MARS-League
The BDF MARS-League (or the Bottom Division Federation Magic Academy Reigns Supreme League) is an international youth series. It is the top series of the Bottom Division Federation youth league pyramid. The MARS-League is contested by 8 clubs with the winner crowned as champion and the bottom two clubs relegated.
History
The RM-League, initially known as BDF Youth League I, was formed after an initial qualification round in which teams played a full season against other youth teams with the champions placed in the RM-League. Those champions were 1. SFC New Canaan YoungStars, Ally's Accademicals, Magic Academy, Mavericks, Mladi Udarniki, Seismic Waves, Mini Mussen and SmartHotspur Boys. The initial league was dominated by English speaking teams with three from England and two from the USA. In season 3 England was especially ubiquitous in the league as they were represented by five clubs!
After an intense first season in which Mavericks did not clinch the league until the final game with an 8-0 romp of Mladi Udarniki, the German club was honored as the league was named after them.
Many fans also enjoy tracking the league's top scorer as both champions have also had a player win the Golden Boot. The RM-League not only features a heated race for the league, but also the suspense of surviving relegation. Many fans breathe sighs of relief after their club reaches the 12 point mark as history shows that no team has been relegated with 12 or more points.
