RULES FOR THIS TOURNAMENT
1) As of this year, this tournament will implement the new Little League birth date cut-off rule of April 30.  The rule states that if you are 16 years of age as of April 30 of this year, you are eligible to play in this tournament.  This rule does imply that there may be young 17 year olds eligible to play.  As has always been our policy younger players are also eligible. 

2) Games are seven innings or two hours, whichever comes first - unless the game is tied. All games are played to a decision. If the previous game has run beyond the scheduled time, the next game will start 10 minutes later. The time limit does not apply in the semi-finals or finals.

3) A ten-run rule applies after four innings, and a fifteen-run rule after three innings. This rule applies to all games.

4) All National Federation of High School  (NFHS) rules will apply with the exception of pitching.  Pitchers are limited fifteen (15) innings total in the tournament.  There is a maximum of seven (7) innings per day per pitcher.  No pitcher may throw more than ten innings in any two consecutive days.  A pitcher who has thrown six (6) or more innings in a day may not pitch the following day.  One pitch in any inning counts as a full inning pitched.

  TIEBREAKERS IN POOL STANDINGS:
1. Two-way tie. Winner of head-to-head game advances.

2. Three or more tied. If one team has defeated both or all of the the other tied teams, that team advances. If not, the team allowing the fewest runs in pool games advances.

If three or more teams are still tied, the team allowing the fewest runs in all games advances. A flip of the coin will be the third tie breaker. Whenever a tiebreaker results in two teams left tied, the winner of their head-to-head game advances.
