Rules

UPDATED 20160919

Tournament Rules:

The Jim Jadwin Memorial tournament is an invitational American Legion Baseball Tournament and any rule not
addressed specifically below will be covered by the most current version of the National American Legion Rule Book for Senior American Legion Baseball.
The American Legion does NOT permit any type of re-entry rule or courtesy runners during tournament play.

Official Baseball Rules - Designated Hitter (DH) rule (pitcher only) will be used in tournament play as outlined in the Official Rules of Baseball.

 

GAME LENGTH/MERCY RULES:
 

A coin-flip is conducted to determine home team for all games in pool play; higher seed will be home team after the tournament seeding is complete.

Teams will play seven-inning games (weather permitting).

A two-hour time limit will be in effect for all games on Thursday, Friday & Saturday of the tournament; the official time will be noted by the home plate umpire and start from the 1st pitch of the game (NOTE: Both head coaches should verify start time with the umpire).  No new innings will start after 2 hours.  If tie after completed inning, the visiting team puts the player that made the last out in the previous inning on second base.  All new batters start with 3 balls & 2 strikes.  Teams will begin the inning with 0 outs. If 3 extra innings are completed
and the game remains tied, both teams will tie and be credited with 1/2 a point for seeding purposes.

No time limit will be used in the championship round on Sunday (weather permitting)

The 10-run mercy rule will be in effect after  4 1/2 or 5 complete innings.

 

BAT RESTRICTIONS:
 

Either drop -3 BBCOR-certified or wood bats may be used in the tournament. 
Using an illegal bat will result to an automatic out to the batter.

PITCHING:
Coaches shall follow established American Legion Baseball pitching limits.

Coaches shall always used best judgment related to pitching restrictions.

NOTE: the tournament will not monitor pitching but expects coaches to adhere to established Legion rules and act responsibly.

 

FORFEITS:
 

In the event of a forfeit the winning team will be credited with a 1-0 victory for seeding purposes. If possible, the tournament committee will resolve forfeits by making scheduling changes. Forfeits will be used ONLY if schedule changes can not be made to accommodate tournament schedule.

A team who forfeits a pool play game may not advance to play in a playoff or championship game. 

 

SEEDING & TIE BREAKERS:
 

Seeding is based on win/loss record, In case of a tie in points between two or more teams, the following tiebreaker system will be used to determine the seeding of the teams:

1. Head-to-head record between the two teams that are tied for the final spot (head-to-head record only applied if tie is between the two teams).

2. Fewest runs allowed between the tied team/s.

3. Highest total run differential; NOTE: Total run differential is the sum of each game's differential.   

4. If there is still a tie, then the teams which are tied will come down to a coin toss.

 

TOURNAMENT RAINOUT POLICY:

 

In the case of adverse weather, games may be moved to other locations at the discretion of the Tournament Committee.                                                 

All reasonable efforts will be made to complete games as scheduled; conditions related to adverse weather can NOT be prevented.

If a game can not be started within 1 hour of its scheduled start time due to bad weather every effort will be made to reschedule the game. If we are unable to reschedule the game for any reason the game will be cancelled and each team will receive 1/2 win and 1/2 loss 

Participating teams are asked to help with foul balls both on and off the baseball field as well help keep dugouts picked up.

 

TOURNAMENT REFUND POLICY 

 

Any game started is considered a game played as umpires have been paid

0 games played - 90% refund  

1 game played - 50% refund

 

OTHER RULES:

The Home team will be the official book for that particular game. Visiting coaches are encouraged to periodically check with the home team coaches to make sure everything is correct.

The Chillicothe Post 757 Colts, as the host team in the tournament, shall have the right to use their dugout (third base dugout) at Joseph W. Hoffman Field.

Final game scores shall be texted to the Tournament Director by both coaches within one hour of completed game.
