This league soon became the dominant of the two especially given all twenty Victorian Football Association premierships to that stage had been shared by six of those eight clubs.

At each annual meeting of the VBL a portion of the business was dedicated to the allocation of teams between A and B grades, following a basic relegation and promotion system.

Each section was to compete for its own pennant, the winners to play one game at the end of the season to decide the championship and the right to hold the Frank Laver shield.

This did allow the Victorian Baseball Association to reintroduce promotion and relegation independent of football to the competition.

In August 1976 the Victorian Baseball Association made the major decision to change the season for the main competition to summer.

The VPBL was made of affiliated associations, predominantly based in regional centres, which scheduled competitions in the winter months (i.e. April - September).

The VBA was predominantly based around the metropolitan suburbs of Melbourne and played their matches in the summer months (i.e. October - March).

Features of a unified model would be the full establishment of statewide programs, operating in all areas of Melbourne and Country Victoria and working with all clubs regardless of historical ties to VBA or VPBL.

Baseball Victoria also stage the State Winter Championships which matches representative teams from each League and Association.

While being competitive is a high priority, it is just as important to have fun and enjoy a weekend of baseball in a relaxed environment.

Established in 1937, the GBA offers senior and junior competitions to clubs and teams from metropolitan Geelong, Colac, Werribee, Bacchus Marsh, Lara, Newport and Ballarat.
