Summer Tournaments - aka - Application for Special Games

Note - The "Special Games" are hosted to supplement the many fine programs provided by CA District 57 Little Leagues.   Participation in these tournaments will be first offered to all D57 Leagues - followed by other "chartered" Little League Programs.     May 31, 2009 - after this date - D57 Summer Tournaments will have open enrollment for other "non" D57 Little Leagues to enroll.   District 57 LL's have 1st priority until 5/31/09 -- after that date - the host may enroll other 2009 Chartered Little League programs.

*** If a tournament accepts a "8" year old player (9 year old tournament option) - then the tournament rules are eliminated and the regular season rule book applies.     The "HOST" League has the option of the age format used!!!

It is at the option of the league to offer a 2 year age format.... or the league may keep the tournament entirely age pure.     Tournament age is the age that the player was in the 2009 season.   A Players League AGE does not change until 1/1/10 - insurance regulation.   2 Year Format - 8/9 (regular season rules); 9/10, 10/11 or 11/12 can use the 2009 Tournament Rules found in the back of the Green Rule Book.  No exceptions can be made.

Note - Clarification on League Age --- All players participating in "summer games" play under the age that they were in the 2009 playing season.   LL is not changing age dates... the note was to simply inform that under-age players are not permitted to increase their ages (by thinking that since the season is "over") -- that they can now use next years age.

RULES CLARIFICATION - ALL "Special Games" are approved, and are to be played, using the guidelines in the 2009 Little League Baseball "GREEN" Rule Book -- Note - utilizing the "Tournament" Section of the rule book.   

SPECIAL EVENT -- JULY 23 TO AUGUST 2 - TEAM AUSTRALIA - THE KANGAROOS vs CA 57 LLB.

Donations Needed to offset tournament costs.   Games - Saturday 7/25 at 1 and 4pm; Sunday 7/26 at 1 and 4pm; Tuesday, Thursday and 5:30pm and Friday 7/31 at 1pm.

District 57 will be hosting "Team Australia" -- a team of 11/12 year olds from Australia.   This will be a team that has been eliminated from Int'l Allstar competition... and they have chosen D57 as their site to visit in the U.S.......   Little League Baseball is approx. 3 years old in Australia - so the exposure to D57 and the U.S. will be brand new.

Site - Danville LL - Osage Park - where D57 will be hosting the Nor Cal LLB / Majors tourney this very same week.
