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.

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.

Renew online

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

Pay by card

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

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 live on the same desk family

Click the MSBL hub — this isn’t vaporware.

Long Island MSBL/MABL runs registration, payments, and ops on Diamond League Desk today. NABF gets the same ops DNA, scoped for a national federation — not a local men’s league clone.

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

Playbook365 · play.nabf.com

·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.

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 pay the same as LISM / MSBL.

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
$2,495 + $1,995/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.

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

Starter for renewals. Optional World Series Live for championship streams.

01Weeks 1–2. Discovery · brand · Stripe · franchise form fields · Playbook365 link map.
02Weeks 3–6. National Starter live — renewals, payment tracking, docs, fee board.
03Before June 1, 2027. National office runs Spring 2027 renewals on DLD; Playbook365 stays for events.
04World Series window. Optional World Series Live ($995) — email or drop a link; Bobby places it. Included in Full Desk.
05Summer 2027. Optional Full Desk — directory, results, year-round Live Now, meeting hub.

02Or approve World Series Live alone ($995 flat) — email or drop a link; Bobby places it.
03Keep nabf.com / Playbook365 live — DLD complements, doesn’t rip them out.
