I'm not going to do triple headers, so what you found works for me and is more in line with what I would expect at this level. On Tue, Mar 24, 2026 at 10:24 AM Steve Allen via Wadas < wadas@lists.rodeonetworks.com> wrote:
I’m with you on the app, its searches seem to be pretty rough and I don’t have a hard copy with me at this time. I’m no expert, hopefully, someone more familiar with these rules can weigh in.

Thank you Steve. I didn't use a.i. I used the book and a general internet search. I couldn't get anything from the rules app (I haven't been able to make their search process work for me on many things. Their key words are a mystery to me).
The book only says the juniors can only play three games in a day. Nothing that I could find about doubleheaders. The general internet search said two doubleheaders in a week (probably pulled from an old page). I will rely on what you found since you would be the junior softball expert in our state. I should have just sent you an email. Now if I can find another field, I can consider pool play. Of the two near each other I hoped to get a half hour apart, only one can do it.

Quick AI hit, looking for actual rulebook data -
Junior League Softball (ages 12–14)
teams are permitted to play doubleheaders, with tournament regulations allowing up to three doubleheaders within a seven-day period
. Unlike lower divisions, there are fewer restrictions on pitchers playing in consecutive games, making doubleheaders common for handling scheduling conflicts or tournament pool play.

I don't know if I can. The only way I have two fields in one town would be to have it in two different towns, about a half hour apart. Can you clarify for me the rules for juniors? It says any team can play up to three games in a day, but then says they can only play one doubleheader in seven days. I know these girls play three times a day for multiple days in travel ball. If I could stack games, I might be able to do pool play.

Hi Glen,
Thanks for the update, I would look to see if you can do the JR Softball pool format using at least two fields, We did this last year and received many compliments that in the tournament all teams played four games minimum and it was completed in 5 days.

We have some changes to state tournament hosts. I have been unable to find a suitable field for senior baseball. I have one that will do it, but it has no stands, no scoreboard, no lights, no concession stand and port-a-potties. Therefore, I am not able to take it.
Bob in District 9 has the same problem with junior softball. He informed me this week that he is unable to host that tournament.
I am proposing that District 3 take junior softball. I think I have someone in my district to take it. I am waiting for them to get approvals from the school districts, but I have even held softball on Little League baseball fields with no mounds, so I know we can do that tournament.
But I am declining senior baseball. I know it is late, but I just don't want to host it on a field that will have people complaining for years. We all seem to remember and often bring up the major softball tournament held on a substandard field in a district that now has a different district administrator (who has done a much better job on the two state tournaments she has hosted since then).
So I'm hoping someone will step up to take senior baseball if I do my part by taking junior softball.
Thank you,
glen
