PURPOSE: Our tournament is meant to provide an early-season opportunity for teams to practice against other teams in real game/tournament conditions. There is no limit on substitutions and re-entries to provide coaches with a maximum opportunity to play kids in a variety of positions. Pitchers are limited to three innings for the entire day. Coaches are encouraged to speak to players and make on-the-field corrections as the game goes on. Opposing coaches should be respectful of this. Also, keep in mind we want to get as many repetitions as possible for kids in different positions, so take things offline as much as possible to keep the games moving. Please remember to anticipate catcher preparation (with pinch runners if needed) to keep games moving.
GAMES: Each game will be as many innings as can be played in the time allotted. Games will be stopped at 1:45. Umpires and new baseballs will be supplied, fields will be prepped in the morning and maintained throughout the day, and real game/tournament conditions will exist.
RULES: In general, WSYBL League Rules will apply to the U7 - U14 brackets with some modifications at various ages. U7 age group will play by Major YBL league rules with modifications for the tournament. A summary of these rules are available upon request and will be posted on our website at www.mertonathletics.org. When in doubt on a rule, coaches should assume a relaxed approach and defer to umpire decisions.
TIMES: Three games will be scheduled against 3 different teams. Teams are matched based on leagues and records from the previous season. One game per age group will be played on Friday evening (IF NECESSARY) with remaining games scheduled throughout Saturday and Sunday.
LOCATIONS:
CONCESSIONS: Concessions will be available very conveniently throughout the day at all parks. No food or beverage carry-ins, please. Tobacco products are prohibited. Pets are also prohibited.
ROSTER/LIABILITY: Every team must have a release of liability roster signed by the parents of each player on the roster. Players will not be eligible to participate until this is turned in to the tournament director.
