The Alaskan Training League has a 44-game schedule, 4 against each other team, with doubleheaders played every Saturday and Sunday. It will have its own All-Star Game near the end of the season, and it also has a one-game championship, known as the Amateur Cup. Same strategic settings, but the season starts on the first Saturday in June. Roster limits are 35 in this league.
