This will be a full summer of baseball with the start of the regular season scheduled to take place on 10 April culminating on the weekend of the 27/28 August.
Teams will play everyone in their own division home and away and they will play everyone in the other divisions once making next season a 28 game schedule.

End of Season

The top 8 teams with the best win loss percentage will enter the playoffs. There has been a slight change to the format to ensure that teams arent mismatched in the playoffs.
Therefore teams who finish 1-4 will be competing for a spot in the AAA Finals whilst teams 5-8 will compete for a spot in the AA Finals. If your club is interested in hosting this play-off event then please contact me at kevin.macadam@scorpionsbaseball.co.uk
We are looking at hosting this event over the August Bank Holiday Weekend with games taking place on the Saturday and Sunday 27/28th August.
The BBF is also looking to host either the AAA or AA Final in the North in September so again any interested parties should contact me to discuss.
Can't wait for the 2016 season to begin!
