In 1904, several smaller leagues throughout [[Levantia]] were confederated into the Continental Baseball Conference, with the twelve best teams of the myriad of leagues added; the rest of the teams were relegated to minor leagues. Each league has since been expanded a number of times to bring the number of teams to thirty-two overall with sixteen teams per league. Prior to 1961, each of the teams competed during the regular season to be crowned the champion of their respective league; the team with the two best records would play to determine an overall champion in the Crown Series. Two teams from [[Yonderre]] were added in 1913. Beginning in 1961, the league was formally divided into two leagues with two divisions each, adding six teams to the league, three to each league in order to bring the even number to 20. The 1961 expansion was also notable for having expanding the league to [[Faneria]], the only location outside the [[Levantine Union]] at that time. Additional rounds of expansion occurred in 1968, 1978, and 1998, each adding four teams to bring the league to a total of 34 teams. The 1978 expansion saw the league expand to [[Caergwynn]], the second non-Levantine Union member team. Following the 1998 expansion, the divisional system was modified again, adding a third division and a wild card system. The wild card would be awarded to the team in each league with the most wins that did not win a division. The wild card system was later expanded in 2013 to have two wild card teams per league; the two best teams that did not win a division would play a play-in game prior to the playoffs to determine who would hold the wild card spot. | In 1904, several smaller leagues throughout [[Levantia]] were confederated into the Continental Baseball Conference, with the twelve best teams of the myriad of leagues added; the rest of the teams were relegated to minor leagues.

Each team in the Continental Baseball Conference has an associated ten team minor league, except for the Dol Dollops, which have a twelve team minor league. The CBC is unique among major organized sports as its development minor league teams compete only against other affiliate teams of the CBC sponsor. Consequently, there are thirty two minor league associations, referred to typically as "national" or "regional" leagues, which typically are placed in the same region as the major league CBC team. There are 342 minor league teams. | Each team in the Continental Baseball Conference has an associated ten team minor league, except for the Dol Dollops, which have a twelve team minor league.

All of these Leagues - with the exception of the Tarrin Thunder's league of teams in [[Lariana]] - are based within countries that have a major league team, and predominantly within the [[Levantine Union]]. | ||
