Why this Wiffle®?
Why do you play Wiffle®Ball the way you play Wiffle®Ball? You could ask that question of any league, tournament, or association across the country and hear a different answer each time. There is probably no other sport with a greater variation in rules than wiffleball. Very few leagues or tournaments use the official rules that come inside the box with a new ball. Not many of us are actually playing the game the way it was designed to be played, so who are we to say what t
Top 10 most anticipated series of 2018
With the schedule being officially released for the 2018 Old Republic Wiffleball League, it is time to start anticipating what might be.

2017 Team Recap: Bourissa Hills Pterodactyls
Bourissa Hills finished the 2017 season with yet another losing season which is now their 7th straight. Since going 38-4 in 2010, the once storied Pterodactyls franchise has fallen off the map. Their 10-20 record in 2017 did not reflect the improvements that were made over the offseason as much as they should have. From the looks of it, Bourissa Hills had a bad season but they had many chances to improve on what was a 10-20 record. The Dactyls bowed out in the Wild Card Ro
