The District 15 Staff would like to take this opportunity to congratulate your team on its successful season and we welcome you to this year’s Top Team Tournament

 

We will be playing under Little League Regular Rules and the following;

 

1. Rosters, Pitching Records, and Sitting logs will be used/maintained. If a child does not play in the previous game, they will start the next game.

3. CBO is in effect for JR division and below.

 

4. MPR for ALL Divisions is One at Bat and Six Defensive outs.

In Seniors, the six defensive outs for subs must be consecutive.

 

5. Junior Baseball Division: 15 year olds CAN Pitch

 

1. A league representative must check in and be on site for the entirety of the league game they will be covering. This representative will be responsible to be the liaison between the host league and the leagues fans. It can be a different person throughout the tournament if your league is hosting, it is not needed.

 

2. Each league will be responsible for providing one baseball or softball for each game their team plays. You will turn them in as you check in with your paperwork for the first time.

 

***Eye black shall only be one thin line below each eye. Additional must be removed***

 

IF a team falls to 8 or 9 players it may use ONE Courtesy Player.

 

A team may only have ONE Courtesy player at any time. A Courtesy Player CAN NOT Pitch.

 

The local League Player Agent MUST handle the assigning of their Courtesy Players.

 

If/when the regular player(s) returns and the team once again has 10 regular players, the Courtesy Player must be released.

 

The District UIC will assign Leagues umpire assignments. Each league will be responsible to cover their assignments.

Scorekeepers:

 

The home team will be responsible for keeping score and all additional paperwork in the scorebook.

Protests:

 

The District Protest Committee (the District Administrator and Two District Staff Members) will decide all protests. A minimum of Two Members of the Protest Committee are required to decide on a Protest, one being the District Administrator. The members will confer either in person or via telephone and will decide on each Protest. The decision of the committee is FINAL.

 

 

Schedule changes will be made as needed (due to weather or other circumstances).

The District Administrator, through the Tournament Director

at each HOST Site, is responsible for re-scheduling games.

The “Official Schedule” and “Scores” will be maintained at each HOST Site.

Every Manager is responsible for being aware of any Schedule Changes and to

make sure he/she knows the Date/Time/Location of his/her next game.

In general, Pool Play Games will stay “as scheduled”.

For example: If Friday Night games are rained out, the Saturday and Sunday Games will be played “as scheduled” and the Friday Games will move to the END of Pool Play. Playoffs/Semi-Finals/Finals will commence after Pool Play is completed.
