Cypress Park Little League teams will be competing in the 2008 District Five 9/10 and Majors All Star Tournaments, . Click on the underlined link below to download the games schedules (updated tournament schedules were posted on June 6, 2008).

        Commencing with the 2007 season, pitchers in all divisions of Little League, from age 7 to 18, have had specific pitch count limits for each game, based on their age.  Little League Baseball (Williamsport) has refined those rules slightly, and have introduced a new pitch count limit - 50 pitches per day - for players whose league age is 7 or 8 (a possibility in Minors division).  A new provision has been added, prohibiting a player who has been removed as a pitcher in a game from playing the position of catcher for the remainder of that day.  The automatic intentional walk was also removed, meaning that to do so the pitcher must deliver four balls to the plate - which count in the pitches delivered limit - so there is now an added cost to giving a batter an intentional walk.  In Minors and AL Majors divisions, CPLL's own house rules prohibit intentional walks.

        Becasue of the pitch count limits, scorekeeping is now an essential function of every team from Minors division through Big League (saavy coaches already know this), so COACHES before games begin you will need to identify and enlist the parents you will be relying on to keep score!

        Also included as a handout (link underlined below) is LLB's 2007 Guide to the New Pitch Count Regulations.  The number of pitches delivered in a game determines the amount of rest the player must have before being eligible to pitch again. Please note that some parts of this guide may be affected slightly by the rule refinements coming into effect this season.
