All rules are in effect in Tee Ball Tournaments unless otherwise stated below. A. Only official Tee Ball baseballs and bats shall be used; that is, those meeting the specifications of Tee Ball Baseball. B. All players on a team shall wear identical uniforms consisting of a cap, numbered shirt, baseball pants and socks, or long trousers, and shoes. No metal cleats on shoes are permitted. C. Approved helmets must be worn by all offensive players while on the playing field - including batters, baserunners, on-deck batters, bat boys, and boys coaching bases. A. Each Team will consist of no more than thirteen (13) uniformed players. The team may consist of all seven (7) year olds or any combination of five (5), six (6), and seven (7) year olds. A player whose eighth (8th) birthday comes before August 1 is too old for tournament play. Tournament players' names as well as those of managers and coaches must also appear on local league player registration forms filed with the Commissioner, and each player must have participated in at least 1/2 (50%) of the games played by the team to which said player was assigned. B. Rosters: Maximum of thirteen (13) players. All tournament players must play at least one complete inning per game. C. Teams may play with only nine (9) players but the 10th spot will be an automatic out. D. No MVP's will be selected during tournament play. E. Rules 3.02 and 3.03 are not in effect for tournament play. F. MANAGERS AND COACHES: Each team may have one (1) manager and three (3) coaches. On offense, there is no difference from Local League play. On defense, one (1) coach may stay in the coach's lane in front of the dugout and the remainder must stay in the dugout. Managers and coaches may not leave the playing field once the game is in progress except by permission of the head umpire for emergencies only. PENALTY: The offender will be immediately removed from the game and take no further part in the game. Any attempt by the offender to coach from outside the playing field will subject his team to forfeiture. G. A regulation game is six (6) innings, five and one-half
(5-1/2) if the home team is ahead. In tournament play, once a
team is mathematically eliminated (cannot score enough runs in
the innings left to at least tie the opposing team) the game
shall be declared over by the umpire. Any suspended games must
be completed before another game can be started. Other rulings not specifically covered in this book are covered by current Official Baseball Rules. An officially sanctioned TEE BALL BASEBALL Tournament for
5 and 6-year-olds is held each year in the week following the
conclusion of the TEE BALL BASEBALL WORLD SERIES. This tournament
is on a rotating basis at parks franchised by TEE BALL BASEBALL. © 2001 Gospel Projects, Inc., Milton, Florida |
