Black Top Wiffleball League, formerly known as Auburn Wiffleball League, in Massachusetts has recently had it's captain meetings to discuss the upcoming 2012 season. This small, 4-team league is making great strides to make 2012 their greatest season yet by making some admirable rule changes. The league plays in a wide open parking lot and as a result there are a few unique problems that many leagues would be unable to relate to. One of the new rules has to do with errors in attempting pegging of runners - in that situation base runners will automatically advance to the next base and no further. This rule is significantly similar to the 'one base over-throw' rule that the
Garrett Drive Wiffleball League (GDWL) has used since 2002. The league is also looking to use different venues for the upcoming season such as a skate park and the Industrial Park. The most impressive proposal for the 2012 season is the decathlon the captains must perform to establish the draft order. Activities range from the athletic (field goal kicking) to the random (Yahtzee). Also, their highlights show, Non-Stop Black Top, will have new episodes every two weeks. This is good because, given the potential the show provided in 2011, Non-Stop Black Top has the potential to be one of the best ongoing wiffleball series online. If you don't believe me watch the four episodes they produced in 2011:
