Footnote: NBC World Series Bid Allocation

Because the National Baseball Congress (NBC) World Series is an independent tournament, participating regional franchises must entirely self-fund their own out-of-state travel, housing, and logistics to Wichita, Kansas. Consequently, it is common practice for Pacific Northwest programs to decline tournament invitations at the conclusion of the regular season. For the 2025 tournament, the league champion DubSea Fish Sticks elected to conclude operations on August 2nd to focus resources entirely on local stadium operations. Because the PIL receives multiple bid allocations due to its premier national status, independent tournament berths were successfully claimed and accepted by the Seattle Studs and Seattle Blackfins.

National Baseball Congress World Series

The National Baseball Congress World Series is held annually at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium in Wichita, KS. It was first held in 1935 with Satchel Paige’s Bismarck Churchills becoming the first champions. Originally intended as a tournament for semi-professional clubs or town teams sponsored by local businesses the typical makeup of a team changed in the 1970s as most semi-professional teams folded. The teams were replaced with mainly amateur college players looking to impress Major League scouts.

The tournament currently features 42 teams in a double-elimination bracket, resulting in 83 games over 16 days. There are 21 leagues and 17 tournaments that are affiliated with the NBC and whose champion receives a berth in the World Series. A tradition at the tournament is “Baseball Around-The-Clock” where 17 games are played over a span of just over two days, from Friday Evening to Sunday evening.
