Any details or opinions on which is likely to be the more competitive MM league this year, BBI or Lone Star? Anyone know how many divisions there might be within each league at the MM level? Would appreciate any input.

go with BBI premier very solid teams in there. bbi select the (other division) is a fair league with usually top 5 teams being pretty solid. Lonestar is a league thats totally combined with alot of school summer teams in it but also does have some solid teams. MM is generally like an 8 team league where you just hope the teams that entered are are what you are wanting to play against. Def would go with BBI's top league
Many thanks for the input Blake. BBI Premier aside, would you say that BBI Select and Lone Star are roughly equivelent competitive level?
they are both excellent leagues. We have played in both, and recommend both. Lone Star does typically have more total teams, and as Blake said, there are some school teams... but they are also typically in the lower divisions (which are not broken down in the public standings, but the coaches know and choose which division they want to be in before the season). I'm talking about divisions within each age group.
We played BBI Select last year (it was our first year to play summer BBI... we'd played it in the fall several years, and you have to typically have an invitation to play Premier), and in Lone Star 18U D1. BBI Select wasn't even close to LS D1. We went 10-1-1 in BBI Select, pitching guys who didn't see a lot of tournament action, and we finished mid-pack in LS D1... 9-6 or something like that, I don't remember.
I have nothing but good things to say about both leagues and how they are run.
Thanks AW... great info.
