  • **Explanation Regarding #(6) Pitchers are allowed to pitch up to 3 consecutive days provided the following is adhered to.  (Pitchers cannot pitch 4 consecutive days – minimum one (1) days rest is needed.) 

     a) Pitchers will be allowed to pitch over 2 consecutive days provided they have not exceeded the MINIMUM threshold (13U - 30 pitches) on Day 1.

    If a pitcher meets the requirements to pitch on two consecutive days, and the pitcher has not exceeded the MINIMUM daily threshold during game 1 ON DAY 2, they are permitted to have a 2nd appearance in the same calendar day. Pitchers will not be permitted to exceed the maximum daily allowable number of pitches in any two-day period. In this situation, when the pitchers two-day total reaches the maximum daily allowable number, that pitchers mandatory days rest starts the following day at 12:01 AM and is based on the total number of pitches thrown over the two-day period. (Pitchers cannot pitch in 3 games during a day.)

    Example:    A 13U pitcher throws 25 pitches on Day 1 (Friday). On Day 2 (Saturday), that pitcher is eligible but limited to 60 pitches FOR THE DAY. Pitcher throws 30 pitches in game 1 on day 2, so will be eligible to pitch a second game on day 2 and will now have 30 pitches left for the daily total of 60 for Day 2. Or pitcher may make one appearance on Day 2 and pitch up to 60 pitches. That pitcher’s two-day total is now 85 and this combined total over 2 days is the number to be used to determine Days of Rest. In this case, the Pitcher cannot pitch again for 4 days starting at 12:01 AM Sunday.
    
    (b) Pitcher cannot pitch 3 consecutive days unless a pitcher’s first 2 days combined does not exceed MINIMUM threshold:  13U- 30           
                   Note: If pitcher’s day 1 + day 2 exceeds minimum threshold  for their division, they require at least one (1) days rest.
    
               Ex 1) 13U Pitcher throws 15 pitches on Day 1 and another 30 pitches on Day 2, they will NOT be eligible to pitch again on Day 3, as they exceeded the minimum threshold of 30 over 2 days and will require rest.
       
               Ex 2) 13U Pitcher throws 20 pitches on Day 1 and another 10 pitches on Day 2 for a two day total of 30. Since they have not exceeded the minimum threshold of 30, they will be eligibel to throw no more than 55 fon Day 3. (This 3 day total adds up to the maximum of 85 pitches). Rest is required according to the three day total pitches.

    c) Pitcher cannot pitch 4 consecutive days. A minimum of one (1) day rest is needed.

• Coach MUST have been notified regarding possible pitcher violation prior to a win being awarded for failure to correct.
• Playoff Structure
  • Top 2 teams in each pool move on to playoffs.
    • Ties after Round Robin in each pool broken using:
                1) Head to Head
               2) If needed, Tie Breaking ratio 1 (Runs against divided by defensive innings played in all games)
                3) If still needed, Tie Breaking ratio 2 (Runs for divided by offensive innings played in all games)
  •            Team A example ...14 runs against divided by the number of defensive innings played (17.33)
                  .... 14 ÷ 17.33 = 0..808 Ratio score *
                            *For run calculations, in a mercy rule game, the winning team will receive credit for 6 innings (18 outs) while the losing team will only receive credit for the actual innings played.
     
• Adequate rest will be allowed for playoff games regardless of posted start time, as determined by Tournament Chair.
