NEW (August 2025): ICBA and COBA have implemented revised boundaries pending ratification by the OBA rep council. These new boundaries are outlined on the above map.
New boundaries: Starting at Highway 2 (Governors Road) and Highway 19 (Plank Line), excluding Thamesford; then east on Highway 2 to Oxford County Road 6 (Foldens Road); south on County Road 6 to County Road 12 (Sweaburg Road); then East on Sweaburg Road and south on Rural Road (Cedar Line) to Curries Road, east on Curries Road to Muir Line (Brant-Oxford County Line); north on Muir Line to Highway 53; then east on highway 53, including Brantford, to the boundary of Greater Hamilton; then northwest along the boundary to Highway 99; east along Highway 99 to north on Lynden Road, east on Highway 5, north on Woodhill Road, continuing onto Kirkwall Road, east on Regional Road 97, north on Valens Road, east on Gore Road, north on Concession Road 7, east on Concession Road 1, continuing onto Leslie Road West, north on Highway 6, north east on County Road 36, north west on Concession 11 and parallel to Nattawasaga-Puslinch Townline from Hume Rd to Arkel Rd, north east on Arkell Road, north west on County Road 29, north east on Highway 7, north west on County Road 27/5th Line (including Rockwood), continuing onto 4th Line, south west on County Road 18 to Highway 6 (excluding Fergus), then south on Highway 6 to Guelph city limits following Highway 7 west; including Bridgeport, Kitchener, Waterloo, New Hamburg and Stratford to Highway 19; then south on Highway 19 to Highway 2.
The above map also shows all the centres that are included within the ICBA boundaries as per the OBA Constitution. The major locals (Brantford, Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener, Stratford, Waterloo and Woodstock) use the city limits as set by their local government to establish their boundaries outside of the OBA boundaries.
For all centres within the boundary of Inter County that don't have a local association, players are assigned one of the 7 major locals to establish their home association with respect to playing rep baseball. The home centre is calculated using Google maps and as the crow flies and not road mileage. In cases of 50/50 split custody, the location of the player's school as of September prior to the playing season will determine the location of the home local.
