Rules

 

·This is an invitational Junior American Legion Baseball Tournament and any rule not addressed specifically below will be covered by the most current version of the National American Legion Rule Book for Junior American Legion Baseball competition.

·16U travel teams are also invited to participate in the tournament.

·Either drop -3 BBCOR-certified or wood bats may be used in the tournament. 

·A coin-flip is conducted to determine the home team for all games in pool play; the higher seed will be the home team after tournament seeding is complete.

·Teams will play seven-inning games (weather permitting).

·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.  All new batters start with 3 balls & 2 strikes.  Teams will begin the inning with 0 outs. 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.

·The Home team will be the official book for that particular game. Visiting coaches are encouraged to check with the home team coaches to make sure books are in sync.

·In the event of a forfeit, the winning team will be credited with a 1-0 victory for seeding purposes. If possible, the tournament committee will resolve forfeits by making scheduling changes. Forfeits will be used ONLY if schedule changes can not be made to accommodate teams. 

·The Chillicothe Post 757 Colts, as the host team in the tournament, shall have the right to use their dugout (third base dugout) at Joseph W. Hoffman Field. 

·All coaches shall use best judgment related to pitching restrictions;  The revised American Legion pitch count rules shall be in effect for the 2021 tournament. 

AGE	DAILY MAX PITCHES/GAME	REQUIRED REST (PITCHES)
		0 Days	1 Days	2 Days	3 Days	4 Days
ALB Junior Program	105	1 – 30	31 – 45	46 – 60	61 – 80	81+

NOTE: the tournament will not monitor pitching but expects coaches to use the best judgment and adhere to established tournament pitch count rules.

·The 10-run mercy rule will be in effect after 5 innings of play or 4 1/2 innings if the home team has the last at-bat.

·All final game scores shall be texted to the tournament directors by both coaches within one hour of the game is completed

SEEDING & TIE BREAKERS:

Seeding is based on win/loss record, In case of a tie in points between two or more teams, the following tiebreaker system will be used to determine the seeding of the teams:

1. Head-to-head record between the two teams that are tied for the final spot (head-to-head record only applied if tie is between the two teams).

2. Fewest runs allowed between the tied team/s.

3. Highest total run differential; NOTE: Total run differential is the sum of each game's differential.   

4. If there is still a tie, then the teams which are tied will come down to a coin toss.
