Challenger Little League Parade
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Hello again, I know you are all very busy this time of year. Talking with a few of your in the offseason, we had agreed to set a separate Little League parade for the Challenger players. That date is coming up this Sunday, July 2nd. We will have just about 150 or so people, not a big parade - but much easier for them to all get in and not feel pressured with a larger crowd. I would need maybe 10-15 volunteers for this weekend, if possible. Totally understand if you can't make it work with how busy tournaments are right now. I can pull some people internally and make it work. Remember - Due to a request from Ownership to keep our normal entrance only for ADA needs, we will be meeting on the Terrace Club Skybridge. That is the 5th floor of the parking garage. Let security know you are volunteering for the parade, they will know to let you in and I'll be waiting at the end of the bridge with your wristband and lanyard we used last year. From there we will chat quickly and walk down the ramp and get on field. We will have the same parade route for this one: Here is the timeline for Sunday, July 2nd: 10:30am: arrive at the Terrace Club Skybridge gate where tickets and wristbands (which allows you field access) will be distributed 10:40am: enter the ballpark and we will address the parade volunteer group 10:50am: proceed to the tunnel 10:55am: prepare to line the field for the parade 11:10am: gates open, parade begins immediately (subject to earlier opening) Please impress upon your folks to be on time. Once we have proceeded down the ramp to the tunnel there is no longer a way to get a latecomer their tickets to get in the ballpark until after the parade has been completed. And you would need to make the arrangements to get them the ticket. Please let me know if you have any questions. A reminder no one under the age of 14 will be able to be a parade volunteer on field. We will need people to really be on it for these next 2 parades. Thanks for everything! .

Tournament Rule and other details ...
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

All, We have gotten a couple of questions over the last few days about the upcoming District Tournaments. Here are the answers: 1. Parents and fans/spectators cannot interact with Coaches, Managers, or Players once the game begins. This includes "coaching from the stands", using electronic means to communicate with the dugout, or talking to team or coaches when in the dugout, medical emergencies excepted. 2. Adults cannot warm up pitchers at any time. 3. Courtesy Runners cannot be used during first at bat for any player 4. PLEASE put your Diamond Leader training certificate in your Tournament binders. More on 3) above: Rule 2.0 (and following) Describer the "batter/runner" relationship during play. Because of CBO (or at least related to it) Batters must COMPLETE their turn at bat before any type of substitution can occur. The minimum play requirements for CBO means a player must get at least one at bat. A "turn at bat", is defined as a player taking the batters box and either A) get put out by strikes or by play, B) the inning ends, or C) the player scores. Then their "turn at bat" is completed. Given this interpretation of the rule, that means that NO player can be substituted until their "turn at bat" is complete. There are also rules about courtesy runners during the game (1 time), and pitchers and catchers. See the previously sent tournament rules for those details. JP DA WA5/13

Diamond Leader Requirement - Districts
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

All, Please ensure your Diamond Leader certificate is in your team affidavit book when you attend your Manager's meetings. We have let some of you "slide" in getting those in the book during the signing process, but ALL COACHES AND MANAGERS MUST HAVE THEIR DIAMOND LEADER TRAINING COMPLETE PRIOR TO FIRST PITCH OF THE TOURNAMENT. If your managers or coaches do not have their Diamond Leader Training certificate in the book by tournament time we cannot let them in the dugout. (This is a new Little Leagure Policy). Here is the link to the training course (it takes about 30 minutes to complete, please print your certificate when done) https://www.littleleague.org/diamondleader/ - Thank You JP DA WA 5/13

by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

All, We are in need of umpires for the 8-10 Baseball state tournament in Othello. The tournament starts the 22nd of July, and runs for about 7 days. We have several umpires for the first 2-3 days of the tournament (Sat/Sun basically) but have little or none for the balance of the tournament. If your UICs could help round up some. we should be able to help pay expenses (gas, food etc) for whoever can help out if they need the expense reimbursement. but we need about 8 umpires to be able to finish out the tournament. Please contact myself, Brennan or Valerie if you or your crew can help with a state level umpiring effort. Emails are in the header. JP DA WA5/13
