Competitive Big Diamond Baseball between Seattle and suburban leagues is played on fields with 90' bases and a 60'6" pitching rubber. Depending on registration numbers, RUG Little League may combine with another league rather than field its own team. Because Seniors players are high school age and many players are tied up with the high school season, team rosters may not be formalized until March. Scores and standings are recorded on the league website with a district-wide playoff tournament at the end of the season.
No on-field player assessment is required for this division.
