Final regular season standings (6 in Canadian division, imbalanced schedule): Kitchener-Waterloo Titans (23-10); London Lightning (20-12); Sudbury Five (19-13); Windsor Express (15-11); Newfoundland Rogues (20-15); Montreal Toundra (9-15)
In its inaugural season, the BSL was comprised of four former National Basketball League Canada teams (Kitchener-Waterloo Titans, Sudbury Five, Windsor Express, and the London Lightning), as well as two former teams (Montreal Tundra and Newfoundland Rogues) of The Basketball League (TBL). The six played head-to-head matchups, as well as interlocking games with American TBL teams. The regular season schedule was imbalanced, with teams playing a differing number of games against NBL foes (with all such interlocking games counting toward each league’s standings), while the postseason was confined to the top four finishers among the six Canadian teams.
Unlike its predecessors, the league had no salary cap and no minimum Canadian requirements.
