About the IAL
The Illowa APBA League is a face to face league that uses the basic (dice) version of the APBA baseball game. We’ve been around since 1975. We have managers throughout Illinois, one in Iowa, and even one in Montana. We play a 162 game schedule. Our 10-team league has playoffs and a World Series as well as a mid-season All-Star Game.
For those not familiar with the APBA baseball game, it is a baseball simulation game which uses dice, cards and boards. The cards represent Major League Baseball players and statistically perform similar to how the actual player did in real life. The object of the game is to simulate a baseball game by rolling dice and referring to the cards and boards and obtaining play results.
The IAL is a continuous ownership (keeper) league and we have a rookie draft each year before the season starts. Trades are an important part of IAL’s off-season. For leaderboards and stats during the season, see our Current Standings and Leaders page.
For more information on how we run our league, see our constitution. Be sure to check out our History page which is full of information about all-time leaders, our IAL stats registry and the IAL Hall of Fame.
