Motto of the BSSA- "In Smack We Trust"]]&nbsp The BSSA (British Slapsmack Association) is the world's first SlapSmack association. The BSSA governs Slapsmack in England, the whole of Ireland, Scotland, Some areas of Sealand*, Wales and the Falkland Islands.

Formation

The BSSA was formed 11 minutes after the world's first club was formed, Hull Jaguars ASC. The BSSA was formed by Hull Jaguars players and execs Adam Cook and Kieran Binns, in order to set up a stable league system, paving the way for the complex and diverse league we have today in Britain.

 In Control: January 2011-March 2011 

Before the formation of the ISSA, the BSSA governed as the world's top slapsmack association, organising and regulating world slapsmack, paving the way for the ISSA to take control in march of 2011. The BSSA saw the first ever international game, England vs a Russian 3, long before the formal decleration of the Russian Slapsmack Ass. The BSSA is unanimously credited with the original brainstorming for an ISSA World Cup, which it has been announced will take place in January 2012, to mark the 1 year anniversary of the sports formation, and will occur every two years after this.

 Formation of the ISSA 

The BSSA set up the ISSA in march 2011 in order to secure an impartial and stable governing body of international Slapsmack, and began focusing its work on the development of the British league system, having set up an inaugral league championship, which would evolve into todays Elite League, and would prove hugely succesful.

 Financial Turmoil 

By May 2011 it became clear the BSSA was rapidly losing money. In Financial turmoil, executive Adam Cook made an announcement via the BSSA's facebook page, stating that the BSSA must find a buyer or face closure, jeprodising the whole British league system and in turn World Slapsmack. Just as the sport had jumped to its feet, it looked set to stumble, and fall on its uncovered knees (see slapsmack kit aritlce). Later that day the Hull Jaguars ASC announced its formal takeover of the BSSA, and in turn the ISSA, also suffering financial issues as a direct result of the BSSAs instability, effectively putting the Jagwaaaaaaars, and in turn the BSSA back at the top of World Slapsmack.
