Report
There was no official league in British American Football in 1984, with teams arranging their own schedules. Some played one or two games and disappeared as quickly as they were formed, while others played a whole season.
At the end of the season two separate rankings were created: a Merit Table for teams playing three or more games, and another table for unranked teams (playing two or less games). London Ravens (10-0), Brighton B-52s (5-0), and Oxford Bulldogs, Thames Valley Chargers and Walsall Titans (all 3-0) all finished the season with a 100% record.
As well as the London Ravens, Northampton Stormbringers (9-2), Milton Keynes Bucks (10-2-1), Manchester Spartans (4-7), Poole Sharks (1-8) and Croydon Coyotes (0-7-1) played a full British Schedule (8 or more games).
