What is the GBL?

 The Greater Brisbane League (GBL) is the largest baseball league in Queensland, covering teams from Brisbane North, Metro, South, West and the Gold Coast from Little League (U12) through to seniors. The competition is managed by the GBL Competition Committee, a volunteer sub-committee of the Baseball Queensland Board elected by the GBL clubs.

All GBL Competitions are gender-inclusive.

The GBL season coincides with Queensland school terms 4 and 1, commencing in spring (October) and finishing before Easter, with a short break over the Christmas period. The season typically runs for around 20 rounds, with the Division 1 competition taking part in a two-game series each week.

Currently, the GBL Competition runs divisions for Adult male or female Seniors (15+), divisions for Little League (U12), Senior League (U16) and a standalone division for Women’s (Division 2 and 3 (14+) and Division 1 (15+)), U20s, and Masters (35+).

Regions within the GBL run competitions for players under the Little League age bracket (ie, Little League Minor and T-ball).

The rules of the competition are written in the GBL Bylaws which are set prior to the start of each season. These rules operate in conjunction with the Official Rules of Baseball and, for juniors, the Little League International Rules (“Little League App”).

Wet Weather Procedure

The GBL would like to remind all clubs that in instances of wet weather, clubs must communicate with each other via the inclement weather contacts. It is not appropriate for individual club members (including coaches) to contact the inclement weather contact of another club unless that person has advised them to do so. Please ensure your coaches refrain from doing so.

We also would like to remind clubs that, although social media is an important platform for communicating wet weather messages, it is still necessary to inform visiting club’s inclement weather contacts of any change in status as a matter of priority so they may contact club coaches directly.

For players and their families, please contact your club coach or club committee members for the most up-to-date information regarding inclement weather.  Committee members have access to inclement weather contacts for each Club.

GBL Game Balls

Below is a list of balls that meet the required specifications.

Considering the potential for different balls to end up in play in any given game, the BQ rules have been updated to include the requirement that only one type of ball may be used in any one game.
      Page 9 – Baseballs
     The baseballs for use in any game must be consistent in specification, make and model.
This means that if you start the game with Easton 777’s, only Easton 777’s can be used for the remainder of that game.

Clubs can purchase and use any one of the following ball types.

Gamechanger (Electronic Scoring) for GBL Seniors division 2 - 7 and u20s - Junior League

GBL have created the Gamechanger (Green version) leagues for all Divisions (Little League Division 1 up to Seniors Division 2).
Seniors Division 1 will be on Ballclubz (previously MyBallClub) again this year.

Clubs can assist GBL by creating their club teams within Gamechanger ASAP.
They can create a new team from scratch OR roll-over a previous season’s roster and select/deselect players to move into the new team.

The home team will be responsible for scoring the game HEAD-TO-HEAD on Gamechanger, to ensure only one record of the game exists.
During this transition year, home team scorers can choose whether to score:

  • live at the game
  • at the game but no internet (remember to connect to the internet BEFORE finalising the game to ensure it is saved)
  • at home, entered from the book (while scorers are learning the system)
