Metropolitan Junior Baseball League

Inner City Classic and Black World Series

July 14-18, 2017

Greensboro, North Carolina

Only registered MJBL teams are eligible to participate in the Inner City Classic (ICC) / Black World Series (BWS)

Congratulations on an outstanding season and welcome to the 2017 Inner City Classic and Black World Series. It is our goal to create a memorable and fun experience for the players, coaches and families who are participating. Per MJBL baseball rules, the 2017 Inner City Classic and Black World Series will be conducted under a pool play single-elimination championship bracket. Teams will be placed in pools where they will play a round robin within their pool. Following pool play, teams that qualify will then be placed onto a Championship bracket. The Tournament Director will set the format of the tournament (e.g., number of pools, number of teams in each pool, etc.).

NOTE: Teams should plan to stay for the length of the event to maximize the value of participating in the Inner City Classic and Black World Series. Teams will be scheduled to play four games in pool play and possibly three more games if they advance in the playoff bracket (weather permitting). Teams should plan to play through at least Monday afternoon.
