The 2025 Benchwarmer Bash
Association Championships in the Jimmie Foxx Federation
The Benchwarmer Bash begins with Association Championships.
The 68 leagues are divided into 8 Federations. Each Federation
has 2 Associations. In 2025, four Associations have 3 leagues and
the remainder have 2.
See the breakdown on the
Leagues page.
League champions advance to the Association round plus wild
card teams will fill out the field of 4 teams. All series
are best-of-7. The Association winner
