Important Announcement: PLEASE READ!

Folks, I certainly want to commend all the teams that have played so far - coaches, players and parents - for doing a great job with picking up the trash ... let's keep up the good work.

A couple of things I need to address:

(#1) Coaches - please emphasize to your parents to keep an eye on their kids that are not playing in the games ... if we continually have kids playing in the restrooms we will have no choice but to shut down the restroom facilities ... kids go in there and it's beyond me why they want to play in the toilets, but they throw paper, dirt and all kinds of things in the toilets causing a mess ... I am not averse to bringing your child to you and making sure everyone knows he/she was playing in the restroom ... PLEASE WATCH YOUR KIDS!

(#2) We need to ALL be mindful of anyone we see on the Challenger Field and if you see someone on the field, please tell them they are trespassing and need to be off of it ... that is not a Western Field and we are not allowed to be on it.

(#3) Please continue to try to help us on foul balls getting turned back in either to the field or to the concession stand ... home run balls are a different story ... if a kiddo hits a homer and mom and/or dad want the ball I have no problem with those being kept.

Finally - just a quick reminder to those that still have fees to pay or insurance waivers to turn in ... we will always have someone at the field (myself or at least one of my kids will always be there) that can take what you have ... if you are looking for us, please come to the press box on the Major Field (SW Field).

We are off to a great start, especially with policing the grounds for trash, etc. ... thanks a ton to all of you and I hope to see you at the ballpark!
Kelly

11U Division Schedule

2012 WESTERN FALL BALL LEAGUE

11-and-Under Division

SCHEDULE

11-and-Under Format: Your 14-team league is divided into two pools ... you will play two games against the teams in your pool for a total of 12 games and then we will have a two-game guarantee tournament to get to the 14 game guarantee.

NOTE TO MANAGERS: This is the official full-season schedule for your division. This schedule has been done in an effort to honor all of your requests with regard to “kill dates,” etc. … if there are mistakes -- I’m sure there will be some -- and you are scheduled to play on a date that you had “killed,” please bring it to my attention … if you have a conflict that you didn’t know about and now can’t play on a scheduled date there is likely little we can do, but get with me and we’ll try to make it work … please keep in mind that in addition to the 14 teams in your division, there are 32 other teams in the three other age divisions using these fields, so where you think openings on the schedule exist, they likely don’t ... thanks and good luck to all of you .. Kelly R

REMINDER TO TEAMS: Please clean out your dugouts and have parents clean their area in the bleachers … thanks a lot.

General Rules for All Divisions

                          WESTERN FALL BALL --

                        “RULES & REGULATIONS”

General Rules – All Divisions

GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE LEAGUE:  There are two basic purposes that we hope this league will serve.  First, we feel that kids need to be able to play more baseball once they’ve finished the “regular” league season and, secondly, we want the players to have the opportunity to play in situations similar to what they will be facing next season – kids moving up to the next level of play.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS: The Western Board of Directors will be in charge of the Western Fall Ball league with Kelly Robinson serving in the capacity of a non-board "Commissioner.” Mr. Robinson will make all decisions regarding the league, although consultation with the Western LL Board of Directors may be the proper avenue for him to levy any rulings as a function of his duties.  Board members of WLL will visit with parties voicing concerns only after Mr. Robinson has been consulted in all cases.  This is the 13th season for this particular league (functioning at various ballparks) and we’ve managed to keep our problems, complaints and controversies to a minimum … we hope to accomplish that again this year.  However, if a problem or complaint needs to be handled, let’s please remember that it is just as easy to approach things in an adult manner and not make a scene in the presence of the kids.  Please be mindful that this is, as we all agree, for the kids.  Now, should a problem arise and Mr. Robinson is not present, there will be a designated “commissioner” (someone in charge who is either a member of the WLL Board or an adult designee of Mr. Robinson) that would be levied with the responsibility to handle the situation – that person will be known to league teams. Games may be played at various facilities in the area, especially as the need arises to make up games due to weather situations.  Should that happen, please keep in mind that those facilities fall under the same guidelines as our normal game sites.  Please offer the personnel at alternate sites the same courtesy you’ve had for Western LL and Kelly Robinson the last several years.

AGE DETERMINATION:  In all divisions the age of the players is determined by age as of April 30, 2012!

BIRTH CERTIFICATES:  The league may request copies of all players’ birth certificates and any manager refusing to provide them will be suspended and the team’s scheduled games forfeited until they are produced.  If a player is found to be illegal, then only games played by that team with the player in question may be forfeited, based on a decision of the league commissioner and Western LL Board.

ROSTER LIMITS:  Each team is required to have a minimum of 10 players … there is no maximum roster limit. All players MUST HAVE BEEN PAID FOR in order to play for any team.  (Note:  fill-in players may be used for teams to keep them from being short of nine players in the regular season only/not in tournament play … in the case of fill-ins, they must be players who are already REGISTERED players on another Western Fall Ball League team’s roster regardless of age group – players may play “up” in age division, but not “down” in age division … there is not an extra fee charged for “fill-in” players … NO FILL IN PLAYER MAY PITCH AND THEY MUST BAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BATTING ORDER … also the use of “fill-in” players may ONLY be to get your team to 9 players – you may not “fill-in” up to your official roster size!)

PLAYER LIMIT TO START GAME: Forfeits can only be ruled by the Western Board of Directors (based on recommendation of Mr. Robinson). A team must have 9 on the field to start/play/finish (Little League Rule). 

MANDATORY PLAY: There are roster/batting options in all divisions that are explained on their specific rules sheet.  Because of the rules we have for Western Fall Ball we STRONGLY encourage the managers of each respective team to see to it that their players receive the appropriate playing time.  Remind your parents that complaints regarding playing time or lack thereof are to be directed to the manager of the team and not the league as this is a “team signup” league and the league has not assigned players to your team.

DUGOUTS:  Dugouts WILL BE ASSIGNED this season … 1^st base dugout – visitors; 3^rd base dugout - home!!!

HOME/VISITOR TEAM RESPONSIBILITY:  (home/visitor will be designated on the schedule) The HOME team in each game will be responsible for keeping the “official” book for the game … by mutual agreement this duty may be passed to the visiting team (make sure the umpires know who the official book is being kept by).  The VISITING team will be charged with keeping the official game time.  The game time begins when the plate umpire declares “PLAY BALL” to start the game.  As soon as game time expires the visiting team’s designee will make sure the umpires and opposing team know that “time has expired” and the inning being played will conclude or, in some cases, the game ends at that point.  THE ONLY WAY GAME TIME WILL BE KEPT BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE VISITING TEAM IS BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT BY BOTH TEAMS AT THE PLATE MEETING – IF THEY WANT THE UMPIRES TO KEEP THE TIME, THEN BOTH TEAMS MUST AGREE!!  NOTE:  A new inning officially begins just as soon as the third out of the bottom of an inning is recorded – if an inning ends before the “Time has expired!” announcement is made, a new inning begins.  NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE PRESS BOX – NO SCOREBOARD WILL BE AVAILABLE!! 

INFIELD:  Absolutely NO INFIELD will be taken prior to games, other than for the first game on a given date/field – Game #1 needs to start on time and umpires will cut infield short to do so!!!

SCHEDULED INNINGS/EXTRA INNINGS:  All games will be scheduled for 6 innings.  If after 6 innings (or time has expired) a game is tied, then one extra-inning using the “International” tie-breaker will be in effect.  In this instance the team who is hitting will begin the inning with a runner (the last batter from the previous inning) at second base and no outs … the inning is then played in regulation fashion.  If after one extra inning the game remains tied it will be declared a “tie” in the standings.

GAME TIME LIMITS:  T-Ball games will have a 1-hour time limit.  Coach Pitch and 9U games will have a 1:30 time limit and the 11U division will have a 1:45 time limit.  SEE “TEAM RESPONSIBILITIES” for official timing responsibilities!!  Per Little League rules no inning shall begin after 10:00 pm in any of the four age divisions.

RUN RULES:  In all divisions there will be a 15-run rule after 3-innings, 10-run rule after 4-innings and 8-run rule after 5-innings.  Should a game, because of time limits, not get through four innings, then the result will stand based on the last complete inning played by the two teams.  The T-Ball Division will play a 7-run cumulative per inning rule.  The Coach Pitch division will play a 7-run cumulative per inning rule.  ADDED IN 2010 (3^rd Year in Effect):  The 9U division will also play a 7-run cumulative per inning rule through the first 3 innings of ALL games … after 3 innings, then there are no run limits per inning.

SCHEDULING:  One of the features of Western Fall Ball are “kill dates”.  The six dates which can be “blocked out” by teams and no games scheduled are unique to our league and it allows teams to accommodate family trips, tournaments, etc.  Another facet of fall ball that is unique to us is that we play predominantly at one complex for all four age groups.  In order to facilitate all of the games we need to play before the season is complete there may be occasions when we have to schedule games at 5:00 pm in the evening and try to play three games in a single night. Coaches, please make your parents aware of this and educate them to the fact that this may be the best way to get all the games in for the season.  There may also be Sunday’s when we play morning games, although that isn’t something that we wish to do (that would have to be a very EXTREME circumstance). Your cooperation as coaches will greatly determine the attitude that the parents and the players maintain in dealing with these scheduling situations.

ON-DECK BATTER:  Little League rules will not allow “on deck” batters in the four age divisions. 

HEAD FIRST SLIDES:  No head first slides are allowed (runner is out), except when returning to the previous base … this is an OUT! 

COACHES:  All divisions may have two adult base coaches … the manager is charged with the conduct of his/her coaches in the dugout and on the field and any problems that arise will be dealt with by umpires accordingly.

PROTESTS:  All protests will be ruled upon before continuation of the game in all divisions.

EJECTIONS:  The first ejection of a player, manager, coach or spectator from a game will result in that individual being remanded to the DUGOUT ONLY for players/managers/coaches (in the case of a fan being ejected, the banishment to the dugout for that team’s manager will be in effect) for the next game that is played for that team.  Should the same person be ejected a second time, they will be suspended (no sitting in the dugout, but may sit in the stands) from the next played game, plus fined $25.00 (payable to Western LL) before being allowed to return.  If an individual is ejected a third time they will be banned from the league (entirely-dugout, ballpark, etc.) for the remainder of the season.  Appeals of any of the aforementioned sanctions must be made to Kelly Robinson, who will consult the Western LL Board, within 24 hours of the ejection!! EMPHASIS:  Umpires will ask the manager to “calm down” an irate fan before any other action is taken … if that fan continues to be a “trouble maker” then both the fan and the manager will be ejected!

DUGOUT TRASH: (see Trash/Field Maintenance Agreement) THIS SHOULD NOT BE A RULE WE EVER HAVE TO EVEN LOOK AT THE REST OF THE SEASON!!! PLEASE CLEAN OUT THE DUGOUTS AND HAVE YOUR FANS POLICE THE AREA OF STANDS WHERE THEY SIT!!!

TIE-BREAKERS – ALL DIVISIONS:  Should ties occur in the standings at the end of the season, here are the tie-breakers, in order:  (1) head-to-head results in regular season games, (2) how each team fared against other teams in the pool/division, from the highest placed team on down, (3) average margin of victory with a 10-run limit per game, (4) average runs allowed per game, (5) average runs scored per game with a maximum of 20 runs per game, (6) coin flip.

REPORTING SCORES:  The winning team from each game will be in charge of reporting the final score …the winning manager/coach needs to tell Mr. Robinson in person or text the score to his cell (773-8088) to report the score.

TAKE CARE OF THE FIELDS:  Coaches, make sure your players understand that taking care of the facilities is a priority … make your kids clean up the dugout after games, emphasize to them that digging holes in the outfield is not acceptable and could cause injuries … also, please emphasize to your parents that their help in policing their area in the stands is important. 

POINT OF EMPHASIS:  This fall season is a great training time for the ballplayers involved … it can also be a great training opportunity for managers and coaches who may need to work on their game preparation/execution, etc. … most of the managers/coaches in this league have experience under their belts and we all do things in different ways … however, we can also all learn from others as it pertains to dealing with certain “confrontational” situations.  Sportsmanship comes in all shapes, forms and sizes … use your head and try to make this a fun experience for all concerned.

“Always try to earn the respect of the opposing team, while also striving to allow both teams to leave the field with a sense of pride and dignity about how they’ve played/coached the game.”

KIDS FIRST:  As always, let’s put the kids first when it comes to the league and playing the games.  No verbal abuse of opposing players, coaches, umpires, fans or others will be tolerated by anyone.  Managers/coaches need to consider themselves stewards of the league and help diffuse any situation that they may deem potentially harmful to the kids or the league as a whole.

Any rules not covered in these handouts will fall under the general rules of baseball as ruled upon by the league’s umpires with the 2012 Little League Rule Book being used as the reference material.
