Both coaches at each match please send in results (all matches including JV and exhibition) directly after meets. Any format is fine- email/mms /hardcopy dropped at Stan's house or even FAX if you really want to (ask if you don't know where). Easiest (probably): point your phone at the final scoresheet, snap a picture, and email or text it to me (stan@worldbadminton.com). Note that most matches start at 4:30 and most gyms do not open before 3:30. Healdsburg: gym opens at 4:30 and matches start at 5. Please do NOT arrive earlier as school will still be in session. RCP: gym opens 5:30 and matches start at 6.

- History -
  - Starting in 2012 NCS and hence NBL split into Division I and Division II based strictly on school enrollment.
  - Starting in 2015 NBL Division II schools moved into SCL while Division I schools stayed with NBL. This transition is highlighted by the Press Democrat in a 12 March 2015 article.
  - For the 2019 season SCL is dissolved and the former NBL Division 1 and 2 structure is resurrected modeled initially after the NCS Div1 and Div 2, but modified to emphasize team strength rather than just school enrollment. NBL 1 (aka "Oak") badminton comprises Analy, Maria Carrillo, Montgomery, Santa Rosa, and Windsor. NBL 2 (aka "Redwood") badminton comprises Elsie Allen, Healdsburg, Piner, Roseland University Prep, and Roseland Collegiate Prep. Additionally Petaluma and Casa Grande leave NBL and join VVAL.
  - As of January 2019, Oak and Redwood are merged into a single NBL League since Elsie Allen and RCP teams are disbanded.
  - January 2020: Elsie Allen and RCP rejoin and Oak/Redwood divisions are resurrected
  - April 2021: due to COVID several schools are not fielding teams so NBL is consolidated
  - January 2022: NBL remains consolidated, though now with 10 teams
  - February 2023: Oak and Redwood Divisions are back and are the same as 2019 except Analy and Piner are swapped.
  - January 2024: Oak and Redwood continue with Analy and Windsor swapped.
