The 2011 season of the Belgian Football League (BFL) is the regular season played in the Belgium. The championship game was Belgian Bowl XXIV.
The BFL schedules two games at one location for saving on transportationcosts for referees and the costs of renting an ambulance and first aid responders. Half of the time, teams are playing virtually at home but actually play at the hosting team's homefield due to these costsaving measures.
The match on week 3 in Leopoldsburg (Shotgun's homefield) was suspended due to the absence of an ambulance. In the first quarter a player was driven away to the hospital without a replacement for the leaving ambulance. Rules state that a game cannot continue without an emergency vehicle. The game was rescheduled to March 27. [3]
