As I have intoned before the Portland Area played all Legion Games under NFHS rules until last year.
The American Legion Council demanded that to be called "Legion" games had to be played under OBR and be 9 inning games.
So starting last year over 40 "Legion" teams founded the Oregon Independent Baseball Association. This group playes NFHS rules and does not allow graduated seniors to play.
This year four more long term Legion teams left AL baseball and joined the OIBA.
OIBA is limited by school (no building mega teams by mixing schools) and therefore the quality of play is far below normal Legion programs.
