Questions & Answers

What are the basics of how Double Diamond Baseball is played?

The new and Improved Double Diamond Baseball format is played on two interlocking baseball diamonds. The 1st batter in the lineup utilizes the traditional baseball diamond and runs the traditional counter clockwise direction. After the 1st bat is completed  the next batter then runs the opposite directions utilizing the added double diamond layout. The batters alternate directions after each at bat.
