League schedule, team pages updated

With the schedule officially signed off on, and entry of the Beaumont Angels announced, the website now reflects the seven-team docket as well as the new Beaumont Angels team page.

The new schedule features a blast from the past, at least for this author, as teams engage in a 14-game season with two of their extra games against two other opponents. This was the exact same format the league used in the 1999-2001 campaigns.

Notable dates include:

  • May 11: Opening day with games in Ryley, Armena and Holden
  • May 16: Beaumont Angels first ever PBL home game
  • May 30: A rematch of the 2012 PBL final as Leduc visits Armena
  • June 8-9: Tri-Hosted Round Hill/Holden and Armena Tournament (Teams still needed)
  • June 14-16: Ryley Sports Days
  • June 25: 12th Annual PBL-BRL All Star game in Camrose
  • July 16: Hopefully the start of the 2013 PBL Playoffs
With the unbalanced schedule again, it will be interesting to see who can benefit the most, and who can win the extra two rivalry games. Here’s a breakdown of who plays the extra games versus whom:
  • Team: Extra road game and Extra home game
  • Armena: Beaumont and Leduc 
  • Bardo: Ryley and Camrose
  • Beaumont: Holden and Armena
  • Camrose: Bardo and Holden
  • Holden: Camrose and Beaumont
  • Leduc: Armena and Ryley
  • Ryley: Leduc and Bardo
