| Overview | ||
The league runs from February 25 to May 27. This league is a National Championship qualifier (NCI, same as an NIT). The top 25% finishers in Elite divisions earn berths to their National Championships, and the top 50% finishers in Select divisions earn berths to their National Championships! All games are scheduled at Big League Dreams, Bobby Beach, and the League City Sportsplex on Wednesdays and Sundays with rain makeups on Fridays, Sundays, and Wednesdays. (13/14Us play only on Wednesdays and Sundays.) |
||
| Price | ||
This league is only $1000 plus a $30 processing fee. This is less than you pay per game for a three-game NCI (NIT) at fields other than BLD! You will not find a bargain like this anywhere! |
||
| Divisions | ||
The following divisions are offered:
Only to the first seven teams that register and pay are accepted. After those teams register and pay, the league will be closed! |
||
| National Championship Qualifier & Points | ||
| The league is an NCI, or Nations Baseball National Championship qualifier, so all teams will automatically receive more points than for non-NCIs. The top 50% of Select teams receive a berth to their Select National Championship. The top 25% of Elite teams receive a berth to their Elite National Championship. Teams finishing in the top percentiles that already have berths will pass their berths down to teams in the lower percentiles. Teams must win at least one game to receive a berth. | ||
| Fields | ||
Big League Dreams
Six Major League Baseball replica fields, 3/4 the size of an MLB field, all near-exact replicas: Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Crosley Field, Wrigley Field, Sportsman's Park, and Ebbett's Field. The finest in food and drink is always served. Sand volleyball court and children's playground is open to all visitors. Batting cages available. |
||
Bobby Beach
Two immaculate fields: one recently refurbished by the Astros and Minute Maid Park, and one completely regraded, resurfaced, and renewed by BABA last year (to the tune of $30,000). Elaborate grandstands on Memorial and short fences on both fields make this a home-run hitter's park! Players especially enjoy trying for the Green Monster on Little Fenway! 10 minutes south of Big League Dreams. |
||
League City Sportsplex
Beautiful Bermuda grass fields and great location—right across from Big League Dreams. Bring your own cooler and food to this gem of a park!
|
||
| Awards | ||
The winning team in each division (determined by finish in the season-ending tournament) will receive individual medals and a team trophy. |
||
| Schedule Changes | ||
We are quickly becoming famous for how our schedule remains set after we publish it. This holds true for tournaments and leagues. If a team absolutely requires a schedule change after the schedule is published, changes are available for $100 per change. This policy is in place to protect the integrity of the league schedule. When one team needs one slight schedule change, it impacts many, many people, including everyone on at least one other team, usually more, the directors who must manage the changes, the umpires who must adjust their schedules, and the field owners who must adjust their schedules. Games must be scheduled in twos. For example, there cannot be a 6:00 game without an 8:00 game. This is because the umpires must have a minimum of two games in order to come out to the field. If you do require a schedule change, the following conditions must be met:
Of course, this policy does not apply to rainouts. |
