Important Rules Changes for the 2012 Season

                      1. Non-high school students (i.e. college freshmen) are not eligible

                          to play unless they were on a legion roster last season (unless an

                          injury made them unable to play baseball)

                      2. All waivers (formerly releases) are now just for one year.  Both

                          Junior and Senior Players are eligible for waivers.  Non-high school

                          students are not eligible to get a waiver.

                      3. A double rostered player becomes ineligible to play in either a

                           Junior Legion Regular Season or Junior Legion State / Regional

                           Tournament game when they either pitch more than 20 senior

                           zone game innings or play in more than 50% of their senior zone

                           games (i.e. play in the field, pitch, bat pinch run, etc...).

                       4. Any team that has any combination of more than 4 players, coaches

                            or team officials kicked out of a game during the same regular season

                            that team may be made ineligible for participating in that season's

                            State Tournament by the State Committee.

                       5. Only the head coach (or his assistant, designated before the game with

                            the right to replace him), will be allowed to leave his normal position

                            to argue any calls or decisions made by the umpires.

                        6. To qualify for the State Tournament, teams must be 3 games over

                             .500 instead of just 2 games.

                        7. No team will be required to have games scheduled on more than 6 days

                            in a row or be scheduled to play more than 1 doubleheader in that 6 day

                            period.

 

  Please note that per National Rules, once our State Tournament has started (which includes

   any game after the regular season ends – i.e. our current Play-In Tournament), any player

      that misses one of these games to participate in any non-approved (per National Rules)

       baseball activity will be ineligible for the rest of the State, Regional and World Series

      Games.  Any team playing one of these ineligible players will, at a minimum, forfeit that

                                                       game for using an ineligible player.
