“A” and “B” Tournament Rules
All Midgets rules are in effect with the following exceptions and notations:
Each team will provide a new baseball for each game
Umpires will be paid $34 each. Each team will pay an umpire. (Each team may take collection on their side of the field)
Higher seed (1 is highest seed) is the home team for all games until championship game.
 Undefeated team is home team for championship game.
 Coin flip determines home team in “if” game
Pitchers may pitch 7 innings in the tournament (1 pitch = 1 inning)
If a pitcher throws in 2 consecutive games, he must take a game off.
There is no pitch count.
Each team must report their pitching and score to the field director immediately after each game. If no field director is immediately available, you may text information to 717-821-8202 or game report the score as you do in the regular season. Whatever method you choose, it must be completed immediately following your game.
There is a 10-run rule after 4 innings.
There are no protests. Disputes will be decided at the field by the field director. If no field director is available,

call Dave Lehman at 717-821-8202.

There is no pre-game infield/outfield or batting practice on any field during the tournament. In the first round, teams that are hosting games at home may use a “back field” on their site. Or, they may use the actual game field until 4:35pm, at which time the infield must be vacated, if a second or “back field” is not available. The only pre-game use of the field is throwing to warm up in the outfield grass…no fly balls, no ground balls, only warm up throws. If you bring a “soft toss” net, you must use an area off of the field of play and at the discretion of the site coordinator.
