| Posted | Discussion |
| Nov. 15, 2016 TommyPalmer1210 7 posts | Looking to form new league I am trying to see if there is any interest in a new league played using the "triple nickle" format. Location would be central or western Massachusetts. Open to playing weekday mornings or evenings depending on interest. |

| Nov. 15, 2016 TommyPalmer1210 7 posts | Triple nickle is a game among three teams of five players each. Team #1 bats while team #2 plays the infield and provides the pitcher and team #3 plays the outfield and provides the catcher. After their turn at bat has ended team #1 takes the outfield, team #2 bats and team #3 takes the infield and so on until a complete game has been played by rotating through the positions. With this type of format regulation games can be played with fewer ballplayers. A six team league would require only 30 players not 60. |
