All,

Please find attached the basic tournament rules from Williamsport that we will be following during District Tournament. These may be added to or modified based on local playing conditions, constraints, or other situations as approved by Williamsport and Western Region.

Please review these with your boards and managers/team parents/coaches

I wanted to let you know that we now have an ADA (Assistant District Administrator)  in both District 5 and 13.

D13 – Stacy Ashcroft, currently president of West Plains Little League – Cheney

D5 – Brennan Moore, currently president of Touchet Valley Little League – Dayton

As ADA they have the authority upon my proxy to sign and review tournament documents, proctor tournaments, work through protests, and provide guidance on Little League rule, policy, and other operational efforts.

For those of you needing to drop your books off early, they both are available for drop off. I will review their work to ensure they have properly adjudicated the affidavit process.

You may contact either one of them at:

Stacy – D13 Stacy Ashcroft stacyashcroft09@gmail.com , 509-294-5341

Brennan – D5  Brennan Moore br3nnan.moore@gmail.com , 509-499-7827

Please feel free to reach out to them if you would like your books reviewed earlier than when I plan to be at the tournament sites.

Because I am DA over 2 Districts, and both tournaments are going simultaneously, and they are somewhat separated geographically, I am going to alternate which days I am at what site. During the time when I am absent the Tournament Directors (Steve Raab – LLLL D13, Rachel Rinard/Craig Stein D5) will act as tournament directors and provide oversight along with the ADA for that District.

Teams In the Brackets

So far we have the following brackets playing by District

D5

8-10 (Minors)

10-11

Majors

D13

10-11

Majors

Teams Advancing without play:

D5

8-10 Softball – Othello

Majors Softball – Othello

D13

Intermediate – West Plains

We may make a slight change in the schedule, although it’s not confirmed yet. We may move the PRESIDENT’S meeting in D13 to Tuesday the 28^th, although, we may not… just trying to balance between having to be at two places at the same time.

We may attempt a giant “Zoom” call – Who knows – I’ll figure it out…

We have medals for 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd place finishes, pins for every participant, and banners for District Champions that play in the tournament per each division. Those Advancing Without Play will receive pins as they represent the District at State.

Thanks to all of you working in the trenches to produce your local League All-Star team… the more you do this, the more you will gain volunteers, families, and players…

See you all soon!

Regards

JP

DA WA5/13
