Who are we and what do we do?
We are a casual group of team managers and coaches organizing in the spirit of fun. Most teams are represented by bars, but it is not a requirement for participation in the league.
The commissioner conducts meetings with coaches and managers throughout the year to discuss the schedule, fees, rule changes, and any other issues that arise. Decisions are always made by majority vote after time for consideration, with each team receiving one vote and the commissioner’s vote as tiebreaker when necessary.
This is everyone’s league and we strive to be transparent about our processes. If you have questions or suggestions, chat with your coach or manager, or reach out to the commissioner.

Well this was a really awesome one! Congratulations to @slimspdx – this year’s champs! It was a tight game, neck & neck throughout— then Slim’s gained and padded a small lead in the top the 7th and managed to hold @beulahland_pdx ‘s offensive powerhouse in the bottom for the win! Great softball all around. Hooray for a lovely day and season. Thanks for being Fun Leagers, y’all! … See MoreSee Less

It’s a wrap on the regular season, and here’s your first (perhaps surprising) look at playoffs seeding. Congrats and thanks to everyone for such a fun regular season! A note on 6th, 7th and 8th seeds:As shown here in the stats, there was a 3-way tie in AWP for those positions. Head-to-Head puts CF over LPH (6/3) & BS over CF (7/8)— but, BS and LPH still have a tie (6/10 & 7/22).The wording on the scoring document doesn’t (yet) account for the BS/LPH situation (AWP=tied, GP=different, H2H=tied, and GB=tied). While run differential is used & makes sense as a tie breaker when GP are the same, it doesn’t really seem to make sense when GP are different. Therefore, because BS has played 9 games and LPH just 7, BS wins the tie. … See MoreSee Less
