The use of alcohol or drugs at any time during road trips is forbidden—even if the players are of legal drinking age. Drinking and driving is against the law, don’t do it!
PLAYING SCHEDULE

UMPIRES
The UBL contracts with Assignors and Umpires for all league games. With few alterations, the UBL plays MLB American League rules.
ROSTERS
The UBL League roster is 40, but tournament rosters are limited to 25 players. No more than four players from any one Division One (D1) school (the school attended in the spring immediately preceding the UBL season) may play on the same UBL team. By NCAA regulation, no NCAA players may play on a team in the summer in which personnel from their school (baseball coaches or otherwise) are associated. This only applies to a player who has been enrolled in the spring term prior to the summer season, and must still have college eligibility
