Section 4 – Schedules

Revised: 3/1/2026 Text marked with this same color identifies material associated with that revision date in the approved source.

All divisions should attempt to play a 24-game schedule and use the playoff format laid out in the current rules. Division Reps will submit proposed schedules for Board review and approval at the March Board meeting.

Division Reps, after consulting their managers, will decide the following:

  1. If they will use a split schedule or a whole season schedule.
  2. If they will use a 20-game schedule with a double elimination tournament or a 24-game schedule with a single elimination tournament.

If rainouts make it impossible to play a 24-game schedule, the Division Rep can get approval from the Board to play a double elimination tournament, as long as the tournament is over by the end of August.
