PBL Baseball IQ
Seven-step learning journey and reward rules
Baseball IQ recognizes steady learning from IQ-01 First Pitch Rookie through IQ-07 Baseball IQ Master. These are learning milestones, not Player Development Levels.
How this relates to Player Development
Baseball IQ is one of the assessment dimensions in the official PBL Player Development Pathway. An IQ milestone never promotes a Player automatically. L1-L12 progression requires Coach evidence and authorized Admin review.

Reward policy
Digital learning recognition may appear in an account. Reaching IQ-07 creates Master review eligibility only. Physical rewards and public Hall of Fame recognition still require availability, Guardian consent where needed, and Administrator approval.
Fair play and review
Every question has a 30-second limit. Expired answers count as incorrect. Answer choices are randomized for every issued question. PBL may review unusual activity, remove invalid attempts, pause rewards, or update a learning milestone after content changes.
Standard question limit: 30 seconds per question.
