SCHEDULE:
The teams will compete in four game days, which will occur during each Monday in June at Cecil Park. After a week off in observance of Independence Day, the league will begin playoffs, with the top 8 teams from the regular season. The full playoff format can be viewed here. The schedule is unique with limited time slots and an odd number of 11 teams. Nonetheless, each team will be guaranteed a minimum of 11 games over the four gamedays.
Opening Day and Week 3 will feature traditional scheduled gameplay. Ten teams will be scheduled to play three games, while one will play a lone twinbill. Week 2 and 4 will feature three “field tournaments”. The 11 teams will be divided into three brackets, fields 1 and 2 will have a four team double elimination tournament and field 3 will have a three team double elimination tournament. Teams that go winless in the bracket play will face off in a third game with a standings point on the line.
The full season schedule has been published and can be viewed here.
