It is expected that rule books will be available soon as well.   (Note: Unless noted otherwise, these changes apply to all divisions)   REGULATIONS Regulation I (c) 8 - Note 1: Added a sentence stating that if a league elects to operate a Tee Ball baseball program only, it must use the league age determination date that is noted in the regulation.  (Baseball only.)   Regulation IV (a) - Junior League: Added language making it clear that when a 12-year-old player is found to be ineligible under this regulation, that player and/or his/her team are subject to removal from the International Tournament by action of the Tournament Committee.   Regulation VI - Note 4: Added language making it clear that a resumed game or contest decided by forfeit does not constitute a "game" for the purpose of this regulation, unless one completed inning was played before the game ended or the game was forfeited.   Regulation XIV (e): Added language making it clear that alcohol is prohibited at the game site.   PLAYING RULES Rule 1.10: Added language making it clear that any bat that has been altered must be removed from play.   Rule 1.11 (h): Added language making it acceptable for Junior, Senior and Big League players to wear metal spikes or cleats. (Added for softball only. This rule already applies to these divisions in baseball.) Rule 1.11 (k): Added language making it clear that casts may not be worn by players and umpires during the game, and that persons wearing casts, including managers and coaches, must remain in the dugout during the game. Rule 1.14: Standardized the limits on the size of fielders' gloves.   Rule 2.00 Definition of Pitch: Added language making it clear that a balk or illegal pitch, whether or not a pitch is actually delivered to a batter, counts as a pitch in determining the pitch count for that pitcher.

A person who is not an adult may serve in a game as an umpire, including as plate umpire, provided one or more other adults are also umpires for that game. However, that non-adult umpire cannot be designated as umpire-in-chief for that game. The umpire-in-chief is not required to be the plate umpire.)   Sincerely, Little League International P.O.

New Option on Rule 5.07 in Baseball and Softball

As a result of action by the Charter Committee in Williamsport, an option is available to local Little Leagues in regard to Rule 5.07 in Baseball and Softball, provided the District Administrator agrees to allow it.
 
Currently, in all levels of Minor League play, any half-inning ends when:
 
1. Three outs are recorded, or,
2. All players on the roster have batted once in that half-inning, or,
3. Five runs have scored.
 
The new option for 2009 provides that No. 3 above would not apply to the last half-inning of the game for either team, nor would it apply to any half-inning in an "extra inning." (No. 1 and 2 apply to all half-innings.)
 
If a league wishes to adopt this option, and if the District Administrator agrees to allow it, it may be implemented for the 2009 regular season only.
 
At the conclusion of the 2009 playing season, Little League will determine if this option will be available to all leagues in 2010 and beyond.
