Notes on entering players for tournament play
by J. P. 31 May '25

31 May '25

Hi All I wanted to reiterate the priority defaults set up in the Tournament Affidavit system. The Player Selection systems uses: 1. Sibling Participation 2. School (if in boundary) 3. Residency If a league has a former tournament participant, qualifying via home address, they should not use Player Selection, but should use Player Entry and enter the address manually so that the information matches the form.

Prep and Schedule for District Tournament -
by J. P. 30 May '25

30 May '25

Hi All, Here are the preparation notes for the District Tournament coming up in about 3 weeks. We do not have the game schedule just yet, but will have that and the brackets soon. 1. Book review and affidavit signing will be at the Fieldhouse in Liberty Lake on Monday June 16, at 6:00 PM - ALL team books should be prepared by then and ready for review and signature. The Fieldhouse is a restaurant just off the freeway in Liberty Lake, kind of a sports bar/ pizza place. 2. Friday June 20 we will have our Manager's meeting at the Trailhead Golf Course Conference room in Liberty Lake at 6:00 PM - this is to review any tournament specific items. ALL MANAGERS OF ALL TEAMS are required to attend! YOU MAY have one of your assistant coaches there as a proxy, but ANY TEAM failing to have representation at the manager's meeting will forfeit BOTH their choice of home or away and the dugout they wish to occupy. You may bring as many coaches with you as you like representing your tournament team, BUT at least ONE must attend. (The more the merrier and the better informed the coaching staff is). The manager's meeting is incredibly important to the success of the tournament. It is where will discuss the attached Tournament Prep document and outline any special rules, changes, or instructions for the tournament. This meeting will be about an hour. 3. There will be president's meeting immediately after the Manager's meeting at the Golf Course. It also will last about an hour. This is also a requirement for PRESIDENTS to attend. 4. All managers and coaches of a team must wear the same uniform. Whether that is a T-shirt with your team's name on it and Khaki shorts, or a formal jersey and long pants, all coaches and managers must be dressed the same and in some type of "uniform" that identifies them with the team. A simple T-Shirt with a team logo on it is fine... just look "professional" and part of the team in your appearance. You cannot wear the same jersey as your players. It can be a derivative in design but not identical. This will help keep visual confusion down for the players (they may see you standing in the third base box and decide not to take third because the players think the coach is a player on third). You can and should wear the same cap as your players. It's not a requirement, but looks nice. 5. All coaches, managers, and team parents assisting the team must have completed their Abuse Awareness Training. That can be found here: https://www.littleleague.org/university/articles/abuse-awareness-training-c… - each year every volunteer at any level with any involvement with the league must complete this course. The certificate for same will need to be in the team book for all Manager's and Coaches. 6. All Managers and coaches must complete the Diamond Leader Training. That can be found here: https://www.littleleague.org/diamondleader/ 7. The tournament is tentatively scheduled to start on Saturday the 20th - MOST LIKELY (but not nailed down in concrete) at 9:00 AM with teams showing up to warm up before then. We will go over rules about how to address the fields, tournament processes and such the night before at the manager's meeting. 8. PJ has put together a pretty good program for us and we GREATLY appreciate him and his Board's work in getting the tournament together. The city he says is cooperating well with getting the fields in shape and other necessities to keep the tournament rolling. He says they'll have some decent food trucks there which is something I personally am looking forward to! The fields look in decent shape too. We should be able to play all our games there... even the softball ones. 9. See the table below. This is what we have for teams in attendance to the tournament. IF this is NOT correct, please let me know by Monday Jun 2 at Noon. 10. Make sure you have your team chartered for tournament play in the data center and be ready to bring your books to the Fieldhouse! Thanks for all your hard work! League Minors 10-11 Majors Major Softball North Spokane Yes No No No South Hill Yes ? Yes No Liberty Lake Yes Yes Yes No West Plains Yes Yes Yes Yes Tri-County Yes Yes Yes Yes (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me an email if this table is not correct!) We will be making the bracket draws on Tuesday Jun 3.

Good morning all. I wanted to take a second to reach out to request, to the best of your knowledge at this moment in time, how many teams each league is considering sending to the Distrcit 13 tournament. I did send this email yesterday to all league presidents, but, this email list will cast a bit broader net. If you and your league have already responded there is no need to re-respond! I have your numbers jotted down. So far I have heard back from: NSLL SSLL WPLL LLSVLL I appreciate what you can provide me now - and I promise I won't hold you to the numbers. I know that All-Star activities can't officially start until the middle of this month, so this is indeed a little premature. I appreciate any info you can provide! -PJ *PJ Henscheid* President Liberty Lake Spokane Valley Little League PS.

A Clarification on "Must PLay" and CBO.
by J. P. 01 May '25

01 May '25

Hi All, There have been a couple questions on CBO (Continuous Batting Order) and the Little League "must play" rule. So I asked for the official ruling from Little League from Western Region on the interpretation of Reg IV(i) Note 5. Some leagues have interpreted the rule (and it looks this way in the "book") that you don't have to give a player 6 defensive outs if you use CBO... that is not correct, even though the "book" appears to say differently. You DO have to give the player 6 defensive outs even if using CBO... And so here is the answer from Western.... Failure to abide by this mandatory play rule in a game means the player has to make up the innings in the very next game. There will also be notes on this in the District Tournament packet coming out in a couple of weeks as part of this clarification. <<<SNIP>>> J.P., Mandatory Play is applicable for all divisions of play below the Senior division and includes 6 defensive outs and inclusion in the continuous batting order. We understand that there is some confusion with the verbiage of Reg IV(i) Note 5, which should be corrected shortly Kit Golden West Region Director Little League International >>>SNIP<<< Sincerely, JP District Administrator (DA) Washington Little League - District 13 E: dadist13(a)wadist13ll.org<mailto:dadist13@wadist13ll.org> T:509-995-4200 http://www.wadist13ll.org Follow us on Facebook@wadist13ll [cid:image005.png@01DBBA55.D5B53250][cid:image006.jpg@01DBBA55.D5B53250]
