4 2017 General Playing Rules The 2017 International Baseball Tournament is regulated by the tournament rules located in the 2017 rule book on pages 119 through 149. These pages can be found in the back of the rule book. Tournament Playing Rules - Pages 119 through 149 Bench/Dugout - May have maximum of three (3) authorized Managers/Coaches in dugout regardless of the number of players on the roster. Mandatory Play 8/9 smallstars, 8/9/10 Division, 9/10/11 Division, Little League, Intermediate, and Junior Division: If a tournament team has 13 (thirteen) or more eligible players in uniform at a game, then every player on a team roster shall participate in each game for a minimum of one (1) at bat. If a tournament team has twelve (12) or fewer eligible players in uniform at a game, then every player on a team roster shall participate in each game for a minimum of six (6) consecutive defensive outs and bat at least one (1) time. Teams with less than twelve (12) rosters players in total must have written permission from the District Administrator. Substitutions/Re-Entry o Any player who has been removed for a substitute may re-enter the game in the same position in the batting order. o A substitute entering the game for the first time may not be removed prior to completion of mandatory play requirements. o A starter may be removed prior to achieving minimum play, but the player is still obligated to attain minimum play. Example: Junior and below Team has 12 or fewer eligible players in uniform at the game: Visiting team - In the 1st inning, Andy bats once in the top half and then plays 3 consecutive defensive outs. In the 2nd and 3rd innings, Zane substitutes for Andy and subsequently plays 6 consecutive defensive outs and bats once. In the 4th inning, Andy re-enters and plays another 3 consecutive outs. In the Bottom of the 5th, the manager wants Zane to re-enter defensively for Andy. This is not allowed because Andy has not completed his minimum of six (6) consecutive defensive outs. NOTE: A starter's defensive and offensive requirements under mandatory play need not be concurrent, but the player s defensive outs MUST be consecutive. Batter is out when - Rule 6.05 (b)(2) 9/10/11 yr old and up District 55 Irvine, CA (949) Page 4
