Section 4 AAA/MAJORS PLAYER LOSS RULE: When a player is absent for 3 scheduled events (games and practices), the manager must immediately bring the absence to the attention of the player agent. The player agent must then contact the player s parent. The manager and the Player Agent must also make note of all communication involving the absent player in the official scorebook. January 2016 Page 4
5 If the manager does not notify the appropriate player agent within 24 hours of the player s last missed event, the manager will then be required to appear before the disciplinary committee upon discovery of the violation. In the event of a player absence greater than 6 consecutive events, the Board of Directors will determine the necessity of pulling in a replacement player. If a replacement player is called up (from AA or AAA as appropriate) the manager then retains that player for the remainder of the season. The injured player may return to the team upon recovery. When a AAA or Major Division team loses a player from the active player roster, the team manager shall promptly advise the Player Agent of the loss. After approval of the player loss by the Board or Executive Board, the President will send a letter of release to the parents. This action creates an opening for a replacement. The manager will review the list of (AA or AAA) players with the player agent. At no time during this process, is anyone but the Player Agent permitted to contact a player or his family. The player that is selected then becomes a permanent member of that team. Once determined to be a Player Loss, the player must be replaced prior to the third scheduled game following that determination. If any form of impropriety is found among the managers which influence the decision of the parents and/or the child, the manager may be disqualified as a potential All-Star coach, and is also subject to possible removal as manager. Should any player refuse to be moved up to a team as a permanent replacement, that player will become ineligible to be moved up for the remainder of the season. No player shall be replaced with less than 2 weeks remaining in the season unless there are not enough players remaining to field a legal team (9 players). ANY QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS OR CONCERNS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE APPROPRIATE DIVISION VP OR PLAYER AGENT ARTICLE V ALL-STAR SELECTION PROCESS Halfway through the regular season, the President shall select and preside over an All-Star Selection Committee of at least two (2) members, which may include board members and/or volunteer umpires who do not have a vested interest in the process. One alternate member will be appointed in the event that a committee member is not available. The committee will schedule a date for the selection of all tournament teams and all voting by managers and coaches shall be done in person; only those present at the meeting shall be able to vote. All player votes will be collected by the president and/or the player agent and then turned over to the committee for tabulation. If all members of the committee are not immediately available, the votes will be stored in a secure location until such time as they can be tabulated with all members of the committee present. At no time may any minors be allowed in the room during the selection process.

The second place manager from the Top Team Major Tournament will then be appointed (pending approval by the President and the board). The second place manager will pick from the remaining teams. If either of the two appointed managers declines to take a team the next manager in succession of Major Top Team Tournament final standings shall be offered the position until it is filled. Assistant coaches will be chosen by the All-Star manager and approved by the board. MINORS The top AAA Division Top Team tournament first place manager will be appointed by the President pending approval by the board to manage the remaining All-Star team.

If the top AAA and all of the Major coaches decline then the second place AAA team will be extended the opportunity. Assistant coaches will be chosen by the manager from the other remaining managers or eligible coaches, and must be voted on for approval by the board.

If the top manager declines to take a team, the next manager in succession of season winning record shall be offered the position until it is filled. TOP TEAM DETERMINATION FOR JUNIORS/SENIORS If two teams are tied, head to head record will be used to determine top-team. If time allows, a best of 3-game series will be used to determine Top Team and the league championship, time permitting. If time does not allow, the league championship to determine Top Team will be a one game playoff to be scheduled by the board. In the event more than two teams are tied for the top record, the board of directors will refer to the LL Rule book tie breaking procedures. * - Runs Scored will not be a factor in this determination. Time permitting; this may be done in a round-robin format of games to be played.
