Little League rules only!

Forfeit/No Forfeit - Less than 9 players\nConfusion arises on this rule regarding teams not having 9 players. First of all you may not start a game or continue a game that is in progress with less than 9 players. Rule 1.01 - Little League is a game between two teams of 9 players each. A league may NOT make a local rule that states that a game can be played with less than 9.\n\nHowever, if a team shows up to play, but has less than 9 players, or falls below 9 players during the game, it is NOT an automatic forfeit. A decision must be made by the Board of Directors. The board may declare a forfeit or schedule the game to be played or resumed at a later date.\n\nNOTE: In Minor league play, the Board may make a rule defining the play of games with less than 9 players.\n\nDuring regular season play, umpires have the power under rule 4.15 to forfeit a game. I won't list all the items here, but umpires should avoid declaring a forfeit unless the situation is grossly out of control. The rules provide many actions that can be taken to control an ugly situation before a forfeit needs to be declared. An umpire may suspend the game, to be continued later when calmer heads can prevail. A forfeit should be the last resort. In tournament play, a game can only be forfeited by the District Administrator, if it is a district tournament, or headquarters in Williamsport, if it is an All-Star game.

This travesty is one of the few that still remain in sports today.  The league has cracked down on the changing strike zone and I know this will be worked on next year.  You are right on, though, it is a joke and a pity that they won't start making the call as it should be made as they do in all other levels of the sport!  Great question!

No no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think it is just all part of the game.Everyone has been mad before about a bad call against their team but everyone has also seen a bad call made that helps there team so it kind of evens out and all.This sounds really evil and I'm not like that but also, with replays there would be less fights.I know that's a good thing because they try to make baseball a family sport but I think everyone gets interested in that.Like when a manager goes out to argue with an umpire about his call, the crowd just goes crazy.I think the whole thing is just part of the game.

Well first of all its sure not borinG!! iLL TELL YOU THAT. There are 9 innings(depends if both teams are tied then they keep playing till they are untied) The point of the game is to hit the ball and score as many runs and dont make errors. Catch the ball and make sure to win.\n\n\nLove the baseball!!!\n\n\n\n\nGo DODGERS!!!!!!

My suggestion is to go to either the city or county recreation deparment and inquire about Little League Baseball. You can also contact Little League Baseball at their website I have listed in the source section.

wow guinevere kate, i didn't know you were proud of me. lol. see you at practice!\n\nfor those who didn't understand:\ni made the batter walk so by doing this, he can only go to the first base. if you have to take the walk, you are only allowed to go to the next base...nowhere else. the game doesn't and with him taking the walk...there are a lot of oppurtunities to tag him throughout the game.

I absolutely agree with you! Softball is harder than baesball sometimes!!!!  I have no idea why it isn't considered a sport, because it's not at my school.  Someone needs to write a letter!  lol

Yahoo is a really good site to play fantisy baseball because you can play in a public league or private. Also good ones are ESPN and SI.

It will also depend upon your league-I just reviewed some of the rules on website below, but generally speaking these are them...have fun. \n\nblessings

If your league is sanctioned by one of the governing bodies like Little League or Pony Baseball you want to make sure that your rules do not violate your charter with them. If you do violate their bylaws your insurance and league charter may be in jeopardy. Changing the length of term of office for board members is usually acceptable, but is not retroactive. This means that the term being served by today’s board members was established by the old rules/bylaws and they would have to be elected under the new terms to be able to serve the longer term on the board.\n\nAren’t youth leagues fun? I served as President of a Little League with one thousand children for five years. It was a very humbling experience.
