Spring League Information 
Overview
Big League Dreams
BABA is offering a six-game spring league to the first five 13/14 Elite teams that register and pay. The league ends with a single-elimination tournament for the top three teams in each division, making two more games possible.

The league runs from March 25 to May 27.

All games are scheduled at Big League Dreams. Bobby Beach will be used for rain makeups, if needed.

Each team will play each other team twice and will play every other Wednesday at Big League Dreams.

Price

This league is only $600 plus a $25 processing fee. This is much less than you pay per game for a regular tournament, much less an NCI, and much less than an NCI at Big League Dreams, except you get twice as many games! You will not find a bargain like this anywhere!

Divisions

Only the 13/14 Elite divisions is offered, and only to the first five teams that register and pay. After those teams register and pay, the league will be closed!

National Tournament Qualifier
The league is an NCI, or Nations Baseball National Tournament qualifier. The top 25% of 13/14 Elite teams receive a berth to the 14 Elite National Tournament. 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.

Schedule Changes

We are 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.

If you do require a schedule change, the following conditions must be met:

  • the team requesting the change must pay a $100 schedule change fee
  • the manager of the team requesting the change must speak to the manager(s) of the other team(s) affected by the schedule change immediately upon requesting the change
  • all teams involved in the change must agree to the change
  • the change must be requested at least 24 hours in advance
  • a field must be available for the reschedule date

Of course, this policy does not apply to rainouts.
