SCOPE OF THE GAME: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
The Juniors division is a competitive and instructional division, and the focus for the managers should be to help the players transition from the smaller baseball diamond to the full size regulation baseball field. Scores/Pitch Count will be kept during the regular season, and standings will be maintained. Due to the fact that the Juniors division is often held to just a few teams, interleague play with other Little Leagues is likely and encouraged. When Interleague play is in effect, the game will be played in accordance with Little League Rules and the host team’s local options will be followed. A game will consist of (7) innings, and is a regulation game after (4) innings. The (10) run rule will apply. No new inning will begin after (1) hour and (45) minutes. Ties are possible. A team’s offensive inning is considered over once the defense has recorded (3) outs, or the offensive team has batted through its entire available line-up. The point system for standing is as follows: (2) points for a win and (1) point for a tie. Head to Head will be the first tiebreaker and Runs nd allowed will be used as a 2 tiebreaker should two teams remain tied at the end of the year.
PLAYING RULES: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Teams will bat their entire line up. Players arriving late will be added to the bottom of the line-up. There are no substitutions to the batting order.
