Alumni Tournament Rules

 

  1. BAT TESTING: The commissioner reserves the right to test any bat at anytime -  if a player is found to have an illegal bat they will be removed from that game and the following 2 games thereafter (even if said games are in the following years tournament). If a batter hits a pitcher that bat can be checked and tested as soon as possible (the game will NOT be stopped and the bat will NOT be removed until it is tested). If a player has 2 test that fail they will be banned from the tournament for the remaining games that year plus 2 years following.

  2. COMMISSIONER RULE: The Commissioner reserves the right to change, alter, or cancel any rule at anytime if he feels its best for the tournament as a whole or a team/player is not gaining an advantage.

  3. COMBINING CLASS: It is the intent of the Alumni Tournament to play with a single class team whenever possible. Mens A will not have the option to combine classes until the youngest team is 20 years graduated from high school. If a 40 year old and over team wants to play in A they can have a roster of anyone 40 yrs old and over. 

    • Women’s division may not combine with another class until the youngest team is 15 years graduated from high school. Women can enter a 35 year and older team.

    • Mens B same as Mens A. Mens 35+ Mens 45+ only as needed and must submit request to commissioner for ruling.

    • * If/when 2 classes combine, they must combine with a class 1 year older or 1 year younger. If those classes choose to play as a single class team then they can skip that year and go to the next. (example = if 1934 class wants to combine, it must be with 1933 or 1935. If 1935 is playing as a single class, then 1936 becomes the next option - if years are not playing then the next closest year will be the option. The team combining can choose which class they want to play with).

  4. B-TEAM ELIGIBILITY: A class must have an A-Team, 35+, 45+ team in order to have a B-Team.

  5. PINCH RUNNERS: Mens A, B, Women’s = sanctioned tournament rules apply, check with umpire.

    35+, 45+, Ladies = Unlimited with players not in the active lineup, then sanction rules apply. If both teams agree on pinch runner rules prior to start of game, then they can be altered based on both teams agreement.
