AA MINOR DIVISION LOCAL LEAGUE RULES
2008
The AA Minor Division is comprised of a group of youngsters ages 8-10 as of the coming April 30, 2008. They will play on a standard Little League Field and follow the basic Little League of America rules. The following local league rules will take precedence over the Little League of America rules:
-
For the first 4 games (for both teams) of the season: Five (5) balls will constitute a walk and stealing is only allowed on a passed ball (for the first 4 games a passed ball is defined as a ball that passes the catcher and makes contact with the backstop). Starting at game 5 (for both teams) four balls will constitute a walk and stealing will be allowed once the pitched ball crosses the plate. Under no circumstance is a player allowed to steal home or advance home without being walked in or hit in by a batted ball.
-
The home team shall occupy the 3rd base dugout and visitors shall occupy the 1st base dugout.
-
No new inning after 1 hour 45 minutes (from the schedule start of the game). An inning begins the moment the final out is recorded in the previous inning. The game ends 2 hours after the official scheduled start time PERIOD.
-
Starting time is the official scheduled starting time. Only umpire may extend starting time.
-
Must bat the entire roster in order. Players arriving late will be added to the bottom of the line up. A batter is NOT an automatic out if he leaves the game early.
-
Each player must play a minimum of half the total game innings defensively. It is strongly recommended that a player not sit out defensively for more than 1 inning in succession.
-
The 10-run mercy rule is NOT enforced.
-
An inning shall end when the offensive team has scored 5 runs or 3 outs are recorded (exception: if a batter hits a home run over the fence in the air all runs count).
-
Players are to remain in the dug out if not on the field. No visits to snack bar or stands
-
No player is allowed to warm up with a bat either inside or outside of the dugout. The only exception is the 1st batter of a new inning is allowed outside the dugout with a bat, but can't take a position within the home plate area until told to do so by the umpire.
-
Home team is responsible for preparing the field for play before the game and provides 2 game baseballs. If the field has a snack shack, then they are also responsible for opening and staffing the snack shack. The visiting team is responsible for taking down the field after the game, including dragging, removing bases, clean up around the bench and bleachers and emptying the trash cans.
-
If a team does not have enough players (9) to field a team, the game will be rescheduled by the league game schedule coordinator. No Forfeit. The home team is responsible for notifying the league of this situation at the earliest time so the umpire can be cancelled.
-
Only the umpire may call the game due to time limit, weather or darkness.
-
PITCHING REGULATIONS: Coaches, managers, and the CFLL-North League are expected to comply with Little League International pitching regulations during regular season (Little League Regular Season Pitching Regulations) and tournament (Little League Tournament Pitching Rules) games. This policy will be enforced. Please make sure you have read this new pitching policy. There are no exceptions to this policy.
