Rules
- This is an invitational 14U tournament and any rule not addressed specifically below will be covered by the most current version of the OHSSA/NFHS high school baseball rules of competition.
- 14U travel teams are also invited to participate in the tournament.
- Bat Restrictions: Drop -3 wood bats must be used in the tournament.

- A two-hour time limit will be in effect for all games on Friday & Saturday of the tournament; the official time will be noted by the home plate umpire and start from the 1st pitch of the game (NOTE: It is the responsibility of both coaches to determine start time with the umpire). No new innings will start after 2 hours. If a game is tied when the two-hour time limit goes into effect the shootout rule applies: The visiting team puts the player that made the last out in the previous inning on second base.

After 2 extra innings are completed and the game remains tied, both teams will tie and be credited with 1/2 a point for seeding purposes. All teams should be at the field at least 30 minutes prior to their game time - the next game will start 15 minutes after the previous game.
- No time limit will be used in the championship round on Sunday.
