Boston Renegades Schedule and Directions



2010 Boston Renegade Schedule


NBBA Game Schedule:
After three consecutive winning seasons for the first time in Renegade history, the Renegades hope to continue that success in 2010.  

June 12-13: Boston travels to Bolingbrook, Illinois
Boston is hoping to return to Chicago after attending in six of the past seven years.  In 2009, Boston almost upset the Chicago Comet A team coming inches away from defeating them for the first time.  Other teams expected to be in attendance include Chicago Comets A & B squads, Indianapolis Thunder, Cleveland Scrappers, Wichita Sonics and the Minnesota Fighting Lions.

June 26 Boston travels to Hempstead, New York
Boston travels to the Long Island Classic at Hofstra University to defend its tournament title from the 2008 and 2009 seasons where they are 5-0 against the Long Island Bombers, Pennsylvania Wolfpack and the Chicago Comet B squad.   2008 marked the first time a team other than the Long Island Bombers has won this tournament.  2010 will mark the 5th year in a row the tournament will take place.  This is the first leg of a three city tournament to decide the Beast of the East

July 10: Boston travels to Haddonfield, NJ
The Pennsylvania Wolfpack will be hosting the second leg of the Beast of the East Tournament.  2010 will be the fourth year the Renegades travel to this city.  They have won four of the seven games played here including a two game sweep of the Wolfpack in 2009.  2010 will be the first time that Long Island will appear in this tournament.
   
July 24: North East Championship in Waltham/Watertown
Long Island and Pennsylvania will travel to the Boston area to play in a mini-tournament to decide the champion of the North East.  Results from the games in Long Island and Haddonfield, NJ will count toward the championship.   Please check back for location and game times.

August 2 to August 8: Boston travels to Rochester, MN for the World Series
Boston will return to the World Series for the ninth year in a row.  Boston will enter the world series a nine seed based on the 2009 performance in Stockton, California.  It is expected this World Series could have the most teams in it since the Renegades joined the league.  Day number one will be a round robin bracket and the rest of the World Series is a double elimination format with a set of seeding games on the final days.  It is expected that Boston could face the World Champion West Coast Dawgs (Boston is 0-3 lifetime against them), The Kansas All-Stars (Boston is 0-6 lifetime against them) and The Carolina Pride (1-1 lifetime) on the first day of the tournament.
