BBL and Towermen only played each other once last season (Tmen 12-BBL 3 at the WSYL, so no “hold backs” for either team).

The WSYL was a 24 team tournament. I highly doubt the 1-off-program Towermen were able to force the organizers to drop a team to make room for them. Most likely, a few international teams did not want to travel, due to Covid, so the organizers went through their list to fill the 24 spots.

Time to move forward. Best of luck to all NJ teams in the 2022 season!
