RULES COMMON TO ALL STARS OF TOMORROW TOURNAMENTS

• A Closed tournament is for teams that have played together as a team during the current season. A Classic tournament allows teams to add players to their rosters.
• No player may play on two Stars of Tomorrow teams on the same weekend.
• A courtesy runner may be used for the pitcher or catcher at any time either is on base. A runner must be used for the catcher whenever there are two outs and the catcher is on base. Coaches should have courtesy runners ready to go, so play is not delayed. The use of a courtesy runner does not constitute a substitution, entry or re-entry. The courtesy runner must be a player who is not in the line-up at that time.
• A designated hitter may be used for any one of the nine spots in the batting order.
• Any game interrupted by weather or field conditions (rain, lightning, wind, etc.) for one-half hour or more will be considered complete if the team that is behind has had at least four full turns at bat. A game will be resumed from the point of stoppage if,
  • a) the interruption is less than one-half hour or
  • b) the trailing team has had fewer than four full turns at bat, or
  • c) the score was tied at the end of the previous inning and the home team has not taken the lead.
  Games stopped after the fourth inning will have the score revert to the end of the previous full inning unless the home team has tied or taken the lead at the point of stoppage.
• No infield practice is allowed on tournament fields.
• The roster limit is 18 players. Only players, coaches a bat boy/girl and scorer may be on the bench.
• Birth certificates of each player on the roster must be available upon request of the tournament director.
• If weather becomes an issue games may be cut back in time and\or quarterfinals and semifinals may change.  This is up to the discretion of the tournament board members.
