The 2026 Benchwarmer Bash
Association Championships in the Rogers Hornsby Federation
The Benchwarmer Bash begins with Association Championships.
The 68 leagues are divided into 8 Federations. Each Federation
has 2 Associations. In 2026, 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
advances to the Federation tournament.
Teams are seeded based on their Association
power index.
However, in matchups between wild cards and league champs, the league
champion will have home field advantage.
