Coaches Packet 2015 - League Athletics
Dear Coach/Manager, Welcome to the 2015 King/Lyles Memorial Baseball Tournament! We started this tournament thirteen years ago to honor the lives of two kids that died too soon. All of the money we make from this tournament is given away in the form of scholarships to deserving high school seniors. The idea is that Carrie King and Troy Lyles never had the opportunity to make their dreams come true but they certainly can help other kids fulfill their goals. So far we’ve given away $96,000 in scholarship money. Thank you for being here and allowing us to continue Troy and Carrie’s legacy. As a preliminary matter, your tournament fee must be paid prior to your first game or your team will not be allowed to play. Similarly, you must turn in a completed and signed roster to the field manager before the first game. For updated information on brackets, inclement weather and game cancellations, please check www.ljba.org. The King/Lyles Memorial Baseball Tournament is a USSSA tournament and as such, USSSA rules will be followed with some exceptions, which can be found in this packet. In addition, you will find a pitching sheet and addresses for each of the fields. Again, thank for you being here this weekend. Your participation ensures the memories of Carrie and Troy will go on and local high school seniors will be given much deserved help in their pursuit of their dreams.
Rules Roster 1. The signed athletic waiver and release of liability is due before you begin your first game. Birth certifications are required for all players not on the team’s regular roster. Rosters are frozen once the team has started its first inning of its first game. 2. Players can be added to the roster but they cannot be from a higher-‐level team. No player can play down, i.e., if a player is on a AAA roster then that player cannot play on a AA team. A player can play up but if that team qualifies in the AAA division, a AA player may not be eligible for a AA tournament Note: A player can only be on one team’s USSSA state qualifying roster. If a player is on more than one roster, then a drop/add form will need to be submitted for the player to meet this qualification. Games 1. During pool play, the home team will be determined by coin flip. Games are 1 hour 30 minutes. During championship play, the team with the highest seed will be the home team. Time limit for the championship game is 2 hours. 2. Pool games can end in a tie. 3. If, in the opinion of the Tournament Director, your team intentionally forfeits a game, the Tournament Director may take any actions that may be appropriate, including disqualification. 4. If a game cannot be completed for reasons related to light or weather, the score at the completion of the last full inning will be the final score of the game. If, in the sole discretion of the field director or umpire, a team is intentionally delaying the game so this rule will go into effect, the offending team will forfeit the game.
