Minuteman League Summer Rules
11.0
Special Rules Applying to Summer League Play
All
Minuteman League rules shall apply to the Summer League, with the following
modifications:
11.1 The summer program will
initially be limited to 20 team slots, and those slots will be filled first by
teams from the “core” towns participating in the spring league. If all 20 slots
are not filled, teams from outside towns will be considered for acceptance as
long as fields are available and travel issues are resolved. If the demand for
teams from the core towns exceeds 20 slots, we will expand the summer league
for the core towns only, as long as fields are available to fill scheduling
requirements.
11.2
Each
summer team’s roster must be posted to the website prior to the first day of
scheduled summer league play. Each team is encouraged to roster 20 players. No
player may be rostered on more than one summer team in the Minuteman League,
but to avoid forfeits, roster flexibility among a town’s teams will be allowed,
with coaches strongly encouraged to share this information with each other
prior to game-time. A team’s playoff roster is limited, however, to the players
listed on the posted website roster.
11.3
Each summer team’s roster may include as many as three 16 year-old players,
defined for the 2008 season as being born between May 1, 1991 and April 30, 1992.
These players are not allowed to pitch. The intention of this rule is to
provide an opportunity for players of this age who are not chosen to play in a
town’s summer all-star travel program.
11.4 The pitching week in summer
league play shall be defined as Monday through Sunday. 11.5 There are no rounds in the summer and therefore no mercy rule, it is just a round robin schedule. 11.6 The summer commissioner is
responsible for creating an appropriate playoff format and for promulgating any
special rules necessary to fair administration of the playoffs. |
