SEEDING & TIE BREAKERS:

Seeding is based on win/loss record, In case of 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.

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.
• Teams may use a DH and/or EH or roster bat in the tournament
