Brighton Bears have been handed a chance to level the scores on the first day of their new British League season.
Bears get things under way with a home date against Thames Valley at the Brighton Centre on Saturday, October 4.
It is the fourth successive season in which Thames Valley have been the first visitors and the score in wins so far reads 2-1 to the Tigers.
Bears will start as favourites this time, as they will at Milton Keynes the following afternoon.
Their first major showdown looks to be at London Towers on October 18.
That will be the first chance for Towers guard Ralph Blalock and Bears forward Kendrick Warren to tackle their old clubs after summer transfers.
The 20-game domestic home programme is split evenly between the Brighton Centre and The Triangle.
Essex Leopards have withdrawn from the league.
