A significant innovation came before the 1953–1954 season, when the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League and the LOBP agreed to have the clubs with the best records from each circuit meet in a National Championship Series called El Rotatorio (the rotational), organized by the VPBL, which was the first and only in the league's history.
This time, the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League season was suspended due to a players' strike, and the Rapiños club was invited to participate in the 1960 Caribbean Series.
During its 10 years of existence, the Zulia league confronted many crises, big and small, in that short period.
For a time in the late 1950s, a lack of competitive balance seemed to pose the greatest threat to the league.
Due to economic pressure, the LOBP folded on December 3, 1963, just one month after starting the 1963–1964 season.
