MINOR TOURNAMENT RULES AND GENERAL INFORMATION
1. All Minor Tournament brackets will use league rules except for the following tournament rules.
2. Roster regulations will be enforced. Please do not use Major Division rostered players from sister teams. This is a league MINOR TOURNAMENT for the league's MINOR DIVISIONS.
3. The tournament format for all Minor Tournaments will be double elimination. NOTE ~ The "IF" game will not be played only in brackets having more than eight teams due to the large number of games to be played.
4. All games will be 1 hour time limit from first pitch (no inning will start after the time limit is reached) or 5 innings, whichever comes first. The 1 hour time limit will be a drop dead time only if the home team has the lead and is at bat in the bottom of the inning.
5. We will use the league's Minor Division 5-run limit per inning rule. Therefore, a six (6) run lead after four (4) innings will end a game, or an eleven (11) run lead after three (3) innings will end a game, because there would be no conceivable way for a team to win the game. Teams must be aware that if they fall behind by more than 5 runs near the end of a game, there is no unlimited runs scored in the last inning.
6. All games will be flip of a coin to determine choice of batting first or last.
7. All teams must provide their own volunteer umpire (unless the host club makes arrangements to provide the umpires).
8. The league will provide one new game ball for each game.
9. The league will provide team trophies and medals for all players of top four teams in each bracket.
10. The league will provide a "Player of the Game" award for every game played in all tournament brackets. At the end of every game played, both teams will vote for a "Player of the Game" from the opposing team.
11. Good sportsmanship will be required of everyone in attendance at league events at all times. Anyone who fails to comply with ASA and/or YCJGSL sportsmanship/code of conduct policy, will be asked to leave the premises by the tournament director. Failure to do so in a timely manner will be cause for game forfeiture of the team that the individual represents.
12. Some teams will be playing back-to-back games at times. Every effort will be made to give teams and players a break if and when needed. However, we must request that teams avoid excessive delays during and between games.
13. Protests, problems, or other issues that arise before, during, or after any game will be resolved by the host club's tournament director. Any final say will be determined by the league president should a tournament director need help or advise concerning any situation.

This is a league sponsored event. There is no registration fee to enter the Minor Tournament. However, team coaches must contact the league president to register their team and announce their intentions of participating on or before May 3, 2008. Teams will be seeded in the double elimination bracket in the order that they register for the tournament. If there is any number of teams other than 4, 8 ,or 16, the later registered teams will play the earlier round of elimination. If there are not at least three teams registered in any bracket, the tournament will be cancelled. The league will provide game balls and trophies/awards. The teams and players that reach the final four in each division, will receive medals and a team trophy. This year, there will be a "Player of the Game" award given to a player on each team in every game played during the Minor Tournaments. The "POTG" award will be a newly designed league pin. As in the regular season, all teams are expected to provide one volunteer umpire for each of their games unless a pool of volunteer umpires can be obtained either by the league or host club. Although not confirmed yet, it is possible that Stewartstown may be providing their own group of umpires for the 10U Minor "AA" and 10U Minor "A" Tournaments.
This is our third year of having the league sponsor the Minor Tournaments and it looks like it will be bigger and better than the previous two years. The YCJGSL is hoping to make the Minor Tournaments an annual league sponsored pre-season event. Please encourage your Minor Division teams to support this program and help make it a huge success so that we can plan on continuing this event in the future. We have more Minor Divisions this year with more teams playing which means more awards and trophies for the league to purchase. Therefore, we will need as many of our league's families as possible to participate in the Hoss's league fund raiser on May 7th and May 8th to help offset the cost of trophies and awards so we don't have to raise the team registration fees to cover costs. See the Bulletin Board for more information about the Hoss's fundraiser or contact your club's league Representative or the league President for the fundraiser meal tickets. Donations will also be accepted during the Tournaments to help offset the cost of awards and trophies.
