If a player is on 2 teams in NJYB during
the regular season he must declare what team is he going to play for in the Summer Sizzle Tournament. No player can be on
two rosters for any tournament. When declaring a team that player then is locked on
that roster for the remaining summer.
Mercy Rules is 8 runs after 4 ½ if home team is ahead
of 5 complete innings ( 7 inning Game 11u and up ) 10 runs for 8u-10u after 3 ½ if the home team is ahead or 4 innings
( 6 inning games)
Mangers must have all players birth certificates and a copy
of their roster present at all games. If a player is question by the other team and the manger does not have the paperwork
present the player is ineligible to play if he played in the game the team must put in a protest. The team
that protests will be award the game by forfeit.
NJYB does not use standings when determining
teams that advance to the Summer Sizzle Tournament. We use a point system.
Teams are awarded 3
points for a win, 2 points for a tie and 1 point for a lose. In the event we have a team that ducks another
team that team will have 3 points deducted for game they did not play. The point system is put into place
to ensure all teams that join the league play their games. Teams join a league to play games not to get aggravated and have
to chase teams.
We follow Major League rules with the exceptions of the AABC White
Book
AABC New Rules for the 2016 Season.
Teams that advance outside of
their leagues into a Regional Tournament or World Series have a Tournament Fee that must be paid by each team.
