MLB Pitch, Hit and Run
- Fly Ball Contest: Saturday, 12pm - This is a Spelling Bee style competition, a catch keeps you in, a drop eliminates you unless all others in that round drop, too. PM and JR Leagues will compete on Diamond #4, SR League will compete on Diamond #3. Due to time constraints we will limit this competition to 2 players per team to be nominated by their coach.
- Home Run Derby: Saturday, 3pm, Diamond #2 - Each competitor will get 10 “outs”. The player with the most HR’s hit wins. If no HR’s are hit, the longest ball hit in the air will win. 1 player per team may compete as nominated by their coach (2 per team in the SR League). This event is a lot of fun and we encourage players to come and root their teammates on!
- HR Derby Fundraiser: Saturday, 4pm, Diamond #2 - $5 for 5 outs, all coaches, parents, umpires and fans are eligible to compete. Top 5 will advance to the Championship Round.

Congratulations to our Tournament Champions!
Schedules
Practice Schedule
We have at least 2 teams that could use a player or 2. Due to conflicts and other circumstances these 2 teams are in danger of being short players for several of their games this season. We are re-opening registration for the Senior League (Ages and 11 and 12) and hope to recruit a few more players to round out our rosters. To all associated with ICBB please encourage any boys of that age to reconsider baseball for this Spring. We have a couple of teams that need them!
Players who purchase tickets to the game may be selected to participate in on-field activities and contests. Participants will be chosen in advance, and you will be contacted by representatives of ICBB by Monday, June 9th if you have been chosen.
Also, tickets can still be ordered through the Kernels box office up until Saturday at 5:00 PM (tell them you are with Iowa City Boys Baseball). Tickets can ordered online up until Saturday night at midnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions are certainly not intended to be an exhaustive list. It is here to provide information more quickly than an email or a phone call could possibly deliver an answer. If you need clarification on any of these points please contact a member of our board.
How are the teams formed?
We have 3 primary criteria when forming our teams.
- Balanced rosters - We seek balance in our rosters in both age of the team and size of the team. These balances best ensure competitive parity and ensure the most opportunities for all players.
- Maintain the ICBB tradition of meeting new friends while playing the best game in the world.
We accomplish these goals by starting with returning players. Where players will be playing their second year in a league they will be placed on the same team. We feel this approach helps build teamwork and familiarity for managers and players. Players that are new to a league are then placed at random on a team. Exceptions can occur where a player did not play with ICBB last year. That player may be placed on a roster that has fewer of the older players in the league. This approach helps us achieve age balance from team to team and ensures no favoritism towards particular teams.
What nights will practices and games be played on?
Our Pitching Machine, Junior and Senior Leagues play on M/W/F or T/Th/F. You will have the option to select the night you would like to play on. The Instructional League will play on M/Th.
I need carpool help to get my son to his games, can you help?
Starting with our 2013 season we are going to play all of each leagues games at the same time. Our early games start at 5:30 and the late games start at 7. Assuming our numbers remain consistent for 2013 the Pitching Machine teams (7 and 8 year old players) will play all of their games at 5:30pm and the Junior and Senior League teams (9, 10, 11, and 12 year old players) will play all of their games at 7:00pm. We hope to play the Instructional League games all at 5:30 as well. We have made this change to help carpooling with players in the same league an easy arrangement to make.
