What is Over The Line Tourney? | ![]() |
Over the line, also commonly known as OTL, is a 3-o-3 bat-and-bat sport played in the sand that is related to baseball and softball. Like baseball and softball, you have batters, pitchers and fielders. Since OTL only requires three participants per team, formal or informal matches are much easier to schedule. The necessary equipment consists of a rope or lines draw in the sand, an "official" wooden softball or little league bat, and a rubber softball (official OTL balls are unique and preferred). No baseball gloves are allowed expect in women's games, however golf gloves may be used when batting.
The name "over the line" is a registered trademark of the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) of San Diego, California, which organized an annual tournament that is one of the city's largest summer social events. It is also known as OTL, which is also trademarked by OMBAC. The annual tournament occurs across two consecutive weekends in the summer, typically in July, with over 1,200 teams signing up every single year.
