FORMAT:
Our format provides more baseball for less money in a formula that has worked since 2005 . . . 21 years already . . . that's a lot of baseball!
- THREE HOURS OF BASEBALL EVERY SUNDAY
- Teams play 2 five inning games in 1 three hour time session each Sunday for five Sundays
- These Five Inning Double Headers will be played in one of the two Game Time Sessions of 12:00-3:00 OR 3:15-6:15
- You play in just one session each Sunday.
- So a new schedule comes out weekly based on new rankings every week based on results from the previous weeks.
- Games are scheduled tournament style complete with Pre-Season Rankings that determine the seedings. Then week to week, in every best case scenario, teams will play like/similar record teams in an effort for every Sunday to be competitive.
- All players hit in the lineup.
- Free substitution on defense.
- Pitch and Inning count limitations for pitchers are implemented and helps to preserve your arm and gets a lot of pitchers extra opportunities to show their stuff and work on their game during the best time of the year to play.
- In-Season Rankings, individual team records, and Runs Given up will be used to create and maintain a competitive schedule for the whole fall until Championship Sunday on October 6. All teams play on this Sunday, and the top teams will play it off this Sunday for the TBD Fall League Championships!
- Game dates for 2026 will be the Sundays of September 13, 20, 27, and October 4 & 11
- ALL metal bats used must be BBCOR Certified, and the TBD Fall League will be wood bat optional again this year.
- All teams play on Championship Sunday with your overall ranking determining your opponent with top rated teams competing for GOLD!
- Winners WIN! To the Victor go the Spoils! The winners receive Championship t-shirts, trophies, and genuine fake champagne!
- With your team's approval, and as we have done for many years now, additional possible locations for potential Wild Card, Best Geographical, and Interleague games in-between Sioux City, the Iowa Great Lakes, and locations on Highway 20. And these field locations all depend on the home towns of the teams signing up.
And a few particulars!
Play baseball this fall as the leaves fall and get ready for the HEAT of next summer!

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
