What's the difference between the Members Dugout and the Bulletin Board?
The Members Dugout is a subscription-based membership that gives subscribers access to all the information in the right menu (team listings, coaches phone numbers and e-mails, tournaments, etc.), whereas the Bulletin Board is the place where you may post or read posts for/by players and teams (tryouts, scrimmages wanted, etc.).

IMPORTANT: The Members Dugout account and the Bulletin Board account are NOT the same. ILBN sets up the Members Dugout account, while the user (you) sets up the Bulletin Board account.

I joined the Members Dugout but never received the account info. How can I get it?
It can take up to 72 hours from the time you join to set up your account and have it e-mailed to you. Normally, the account is created much more quickly than that. Note: It is important that you check your e-mail's 'Junk Mail' folder. If you still can't locate it, follow the procedure laid out in the paragraph above. There are also times in which firewalls may block e-mails. Be sure that you can receive e-mails from ILBN.

How long does a Members Dugout subscription last?
One year from the date the account is created and an e-mail is sent with the account info.

Does ILBN put on any tournaments?
In an effort to stay 'neutral' and support all tournament organizations, ILBN has refrained from putting on any events. In the future ILBN may host a State Championship event based on the State Rankings or may host a World Series in conjunction with other Baseball Networks throughout the Nation.
|
How does my team get points for the State Rankings?
It is critical that you read very carefully the Rankings Explanation in the State Rankings section. Virtually all inquiries arise from not reading the Explanation carefully enough. The Explanation describes how your team acquires points. We feel that this method has been perfected over the last three years. Our goal was to remove the personality and the popularity contests from the equation and let the results speak for itself. Click here to access the Rankings Explanation

ILBN enjoys receiving action shots of players. Requirements for the photo are as follows:
1. Required minimum dpi - 72 dpi
2. Required minimum size - at least 400 pixels wide
Try to provide a photo that has clarity and sharpness. ILBN does it own color correction in preparation for the site.
