Can I play without owning a Credit Card?

Yes, but PSBL requires you to pre-pay 7 days in advance. There are 2 ways to do this: 1. Mail us a check, or a Money Order to: PSBL, 3817 24th Ave. W, Seattle, WA 98199, 2. Pay at one of our gyms on Sun, Mon., or Wed. Check the schedule for a particular date and please pay the “Lead Official” at the gym.

Do we need jerseys?

Yes.  Same color, same material, and a number.  We sell jerseys at cost (made by iron – a clothing company affiliated with PSBL) in sets of 9. $165 for Reversible Dri-fit/ Mesh. These are easily valued at $40 each. They’re pretty nice.

Do you have an over 40 League?

PSBL’s philosophy is to judge players not by their age, but by their skill level. Example: We had a team of late 40 year old men last year that beat the tar out of early 20’s players. It was pretty cool actually. This is why we assess scores on a weekly basis and place teams in divisions based on their skill levels and not their age.

How do playoffs work?

All teams will play 1 doubleheader sometime throughout the session(back to back games). Additionally, Teams must go undefeated or lose just 1 game before the last week of the session. If this occurs a Teams last game of the session becomes a “Championship Game” or “Bowl Game”. If the team wins this last Championship/ Bowl game, then they are crowned division champions and qualify for T-shirts, etc. (See also League Champions.)

How do you determine the League Champion?

Men’s League: The top 8 teams in PSBL play in our “Best of the Best” tournament every Session. The top 4 Teams that receive the most Rank Points in PSBL’s weekly TEAM RANKING’s section automatically qualify. The remaining 4 teams are selected at-large by PSBL Directors, and officials. During the “Best of the Best”, each team plays a doubleheader. The 2 teams that win both games play in PSBL’s “League Championship Game” at no cost on a future date. See also, “How do playoffs work?”

Women’s League: The top 2 teams in the League play in PSBL’s “Women’s Final 4” tournament every Session. The top 2 Teams that receive the most Rank Points in PSBL’s weekly TEAM RANKING’s section automatically qualify. The remaining 2 teams are selected at-large by PSBL Directors, and officials. During the “Women’s Final 4”, each team plays a doubleheader. The team that wins both games wins PSBL’s Women’s Championship. See also, “How do playoffs work?”

Co-Ed League: The top 2 teams in the League play in PSBL’s “Co-Ed Final 4” tournament every Session. The top 2 Teams that receive the most Rank Points in PSBL’s weekly TEAM RANKING’s section automatically qualify. The remaining 2 teams are selected at-large by PSBL Directors, and officials. During the “Women’s Final 4”, each team plays a doubleheader. The team that wins both games wins PSBL’s Co-Ed Champion. See also, “How do playoffs work?”

How long are games?

Two, 25 minute running clock halves.  The clock stops the last 2 minutes of the 2nd half only if the score is within 7 pts. at the 2:00 mark.  The clock does not stop for time-outs. (There is 1 timeout a half per team. No carryover.)
