National Amateur Baseball Federation — Established 1914

NABF

Established 1914 · Spring 2027 renewals

See who paid by June 1.
One federation desk.

Stop bouncing franchises between SportsEngine PDFs, mail/check, and Playbook365. Diamond League Desk is the national operating desk for Spring 2027 membership renewals and fee visibility — Playbook365 at play.nabf.com stays the tournament registration engine franchises already use.

National office can’t see who paid the ~$300 franchise fee by June 1, 2027 — Diamond League Desk puts renewals, card checkout, and a paid/pending board on one desk, while Playbook365 stays for tournaments.

The selling point

June 1 franchise cash — visible to the national office.

National office can’t see who paid the ~$300 franchise fee by June 1, 2027 — Diamond League Desk puts renewals, card checkout, and a paid/pending board on one desk, while Playbook365 stays for tournaments.

Say this in the room: We give the national office a live paid / pending board for the June 1, 2027 franchise fee, card checkout that lands in NABF’s bank, and a document + livestream desk — without ripping out Playbook365.

01

Renew online

Franchise apply / renew on the desk — not a SportNgin scavenger hunt.

02

Pay by card

Franchise fee (~$300) checkout to NABF’s bank. No waiting on mail/check alone.

03

See paid / pending

National office board before June 1 — who paid, who’s pending, who’s overdue.

Before → after

SportsEngine form maze → one NABF desk.

Today

  • —Franchise apply / renew buried in SportNgin forms and PDF paths
  • —Some fees still mail + check — June 1, 2027 cash position is hard to see live
  • —Documents, SafePlay, and rules scattered across nabf.com navigation
  • —Tournaments on Playbook365 · membership paperwork somewhere else

With Diamond League Desk

  • ✓Apply / renew online · card checkout for the franchise fee
  • ✓Paid · pending · overdue board for the national office before June 1, 2027
  • ✓PDF / JPEG / text library for kits, rules, and SafePlay in one place
  • ✓Playbook365 still owns tournaments — linked front-and-center from the desk

Already on this desk

Open the NABF desk — this isn’t vaporware.

Renewals, paid/pending, documents, and Drop Link are on the NABF preview. This pitch stays on NABF.

Meeting questions

Straight answers for the NABF table.

  • Ease of adding data — text, PDF, JPEGs

    Commissioners get a desk for news, rules, deadlines, PDF packets, logos, and photos — no SportsEngine membership maze to post a form. Franchise kits and SafePlay docs live in one library. Stats stay GameChanger Export CSV → upload (no scrape).

  • Link to Playbook365 (play.nabf.com)

    Yes — front-and-center. DLD does not replace Playbook365. The national hub links tournaments and seasons so every franchise knows where to register for events.

  • Show livestreams

    Email a YouTube (or GC / FB / Twitch) link — or paste it on the Drop Link page. Bobby places it in the right Live Now / league / game slot. Branded site chrome around the embed; no camera production and no video overlays in the World Series Live package.

  • Registrations for payment of franchise fees

    National hub for team registration and payments — track league payments and team payments however you run it (card checkout + paid/pending board). Franchise renewals for the June 1, 2027 wedge this pitch leads with.

How the stack splits

DLD runs the federation desk. Playbook365 runs the events.

Diamond League Desk

  • ·Franchise membership / renewal
  • ·Franchise fee checkout → NABF bank
  • ·Paid / pending June 1 board
  • ·Documents (PDF, JPEG, text)
  • ·Deadlines & office boards
  • ·Livestream showcase (drop / email link → placed)
  • ·Optional member-league ops desks

  • ·Tournament registration
  • ·Age divisions & subdivisions
  • ·Event schedules & venues
  • ·Classic / World Series event pages
  • ·Stay-to-play / event packages
  • ·Athlete / coach event accounts

Why the wedge matters

June 1 shouldn’t be a scavenger hunt.

  • 01No live paid board. National office can’t glance at who renewed, who’s pending, and who’s overdue before the franchise fee deadline.
  • 02Split stack. nabf.com (SportsEngine) + play.nabf.com (Playbook365) + PDF/mail forms — franchises bounce between three worlds.
  • 03Document maze. Rules, deadlines, reinstatement, multi-league forms — hard for new franchises to find the right packet once.
  • 04Volunteer load. National office and regional directors juggle renewals, roster deadlines (July 1 / 15 days pre-regional), and tournament packets by hand.
  • 05Storytelling gap. World Series moments and livestreams deserve a modern hub, not only a tweet embed and news archive.

How the desk supports the wedge

Features that make June 1 visible — then the rest of the federation.

  • Franchise registration + fee checkout

    Apply / renew online. Collect the franchise fee by card (Stripe to NABF). Paid · pending · overdue board for June 1, 2027.

  • Playbook365 bridge

    Persistent CTAs to play.nabf.com and season filters — tournaments stay where they already work.

  • Document & media desk

    Text pages, PDF uploads (Form 1–10 style kits, rules, SafePlay), JPEG logos and field photos — one library.

  • Livestream stage

    Drop-link / email-link workflow — Bobby places streams in the right slot. World Series Live ($995) covers the championship window; Full Desk includes it plus year-round Live Now.

  • Deadlines & alerts

    Franchise fee due, roster due, regional packets — email/SMS desk alerts (same rainout-class push stack).

  • Franchise directory

    Public/private directory of member leagues with contacts, divisions, and World Series history links.

  • Tournament results showcase

    World Series / Classic / Regional results pages that don’t bury visitors in SportNgin navigation.

  • Rules & SafePlay hub

    2026–2027 rules, Pitch Smart, USA Baseball education, SafePlay training — one compliance shelf.

  • Annual meeting hub

    112th meeting (Knoxville Nov 2026) — agenda, hotel block, delegate registration.

  • Partners & charity

    Diamond Sports, AZ Gloveman, ALS Association, MLB Play Ball — sponsor/partner placements with tracking.

  • Optional franchise league desks

    Member leagues that want local ops (payments, rainouts, GC stats) can run a branded desk under the NABF umbrella.

  • National stats path (optional)

    GC Export CSV → upload for showcase / Major division storylines — by-the-book, no scraping.

What NABF already runs

We connect the federation you already have.

SportsEngine powers nabf.com today. Playbook365 runs tournament registration. DLD adds the missing national operating desk — without forcing a rip-and-replace of event registration.

  • World Series slate (2026)

    6U · 8U · 10U · 12U · 14U · 16U · 18U · High School · College · Charlie Blackburn Major — coast to coast.

  • Franchise model

    Leagues register as franchises; teams then play NABF events. Franchise fee covers the league as a whole (~$300), not every club à la carte.

  • Forms & compliance

    Franchise apps, league/team registration, rosters, SafePlay / background screen, Pitch Smart, USA Baseball education links.

  • Results & partners

    World Series / Classic / Regional results, Diamond Sports official ball, ALS charity partnership, Play Ball / Pitch Hit & Run.

NABF’s own fees (unchanged)

We collect what you already charge — cleaner.

  • ·Franchise fee ≈ $300 per league (covers age groups as a whole) — stays NABF’s money.
  • ·Regional / World Series tournament fees stay on Playbook365 or as NABF publishes.
  • ·Card processing (~3%) if checkout runs through Stripe — not a DLD platform fee.
  • ·DLD Starter / Full Desk fees below are for the software desk only.

What we charge

Starter · Full Desk · World Series Live — a clear board ladder.

Published fixed tiers for the national hub. Starter is the main-site baseline. Full Desk is the fuller ops face of NABF (and includes World Series Live). Member leagues that want local ops buy the member league desk on this page.

Where this sits

Between template hosting and a six-figure custom federation build.

  • SportsEngine Express–Pro (template host)

    ~$799–$2,199/yr

    Annual hosting for a league site template — not a branded national desk with renewals, Stripe, and a docs hub.

  • Custom agency · national federation hub

    $50k–$120k+

    Full rip-replace of nabf.com + membership ops. DLD is additive: SE + Playbook365 stay; we layer the desk.

  • Diamond League Desk · National Starter

    $1,995 + $1,295/yr

    Published baseline. Team registration + league/team payment tracking + June 1 paid/pending board + docs + Playbook365 bridge.

Start National Starter for Spring 2027 renewals. Step up to National Full Desk when you want directory, results, year-round Live Now, and World Series Live included. Or buy World Series Live alone ($995) if streams are the only ask.

What we need from NABF

A few numbers unlock the nationwide math.

  1. How many franchise associations renewed last season?
  2. How many teams were on the June 1 league lists (all ages combined)?
  3. Who holds Stripe / bank for franchise fees today?
  4. Preferred livestream platforms for World Series (GC, YouTube, FB Live)?
  5. Which PDFs must be day-one in the document library (Form 1–10, SafePlay, rules)?
  6. Pilot go-live target before May/June 2027 (Spring 2027) renewals?
