The remainder of the season's schedule can be found on the 'Schedules' tab for each team. 

Also, the playoff format has changed this year since we voted not to have double headers. The format is the following:
 
1. Everyone makes the first round of playoffs on 9/12 & 9/13. 
2. Second round will consist of the top 4 teams and will be played on 9/19. The top 3 winners from round 1 will automatically qualify for round 2. The 4th spot will go to the team with the highest run differential from the 3 teams that did not win during round 1.
3. Championship will consist of the 2 winning teams from round 2.
 
Here are the playoffs dates/schedule. The teams slotted will be based on the regular season standings 1-6.

BCBL Registration is now OPEN! Please use the link to register: 2021 BCBL Registration
 
Manhattan Beach Parks and Rec do not have any COVID protocols associated with field usage and encourage players to practice social distance.
 
Big Marine Field is still the main field used for league and Sunday afternoon/evening and Monday evening are the preferred game days and timeframes.
 
On June 6, 2021 and June 13, 2021 there will be "summer training" sessions to help ease into playing baseball again.  On both dates, registration will be available from 4-5pm, 5-8pm baseball practice and drills.  New members of the league will need to be evaluated by league coaches as they will draft players to fill their team roster prior to season start.
 
League fees are $150 and need to be paid prior to playing in your first game which will be 6/20/2021 or 6/21/2021 depending on the amount of teams the league will have.  League fees include a jersey that you get to keep after the season.  The board is looking to include a name on the back of the jersey and it is part of the registration process.  Please be respectful and no expletives. Use the following link to pay: BCBL of the South Bay PayPal pool
 
Just like in past years, in order to participate in BCBL activities as part of a NGRC, the attached forms need to be signed and returned to the league prior to stepping on the field. No signed forms, not able to practice, no league fees, not able to play games.
 
Please forward this email to those who may be interested.  If you are no longer in the South Bay area and not interested in playing, please reply and will remove email from distro.
