There will be one mandatory meeting of coaches on Sunday, June 26, 2011 starting at 7:30pm.  The meeting will be held in the Bedford Middle School (see directions below).  The point of this meeting is to distribute the Official Bay State Baseball League Rules and Regulations, to review them and answer any questions. One of the most important parts of the summer program is to get everyone acquainted with the particular rules and regulations of the Bay State Baseball League.  Everyone is aware of their own local rules which do not apply to the Bay State Baseball League, so time must be taken for a thorough review

All teams participating will be assessed an Umpire Assigner fee of $18.00 per round of play.

Each team participating in the 50/70 Division for 2011 will pay a fee of $275.00 (includes insurance and Umpire Assigner fee).

PLAYER PARTICIPATION STATEMENT

The issue of roster size and player participation has generated a great deal of discussion in the past.  The expectations of the Bay State Baseball Tournament of Champions Board of Directors on these topics are as follows:

A.  Bay State Baseball Tournament of Champions Player Participation Statement

Bay State Baseball Tournament of Champions (T of C) is a program of service to youth.  It strives to establish the values of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play in a competitive and demanding schedule of summer baseball games for as many children as possible.

B.  T of C Roster Rules and Player Participation Guidelines

Team leaders (managers/coaches) may select up to 20 players they wish to have on their team roster with the following limitations:

            A player is eligible to be on any roster for which they are age-eligible but can only be listed on ONE team at any given level of play

A player may NOT be listed on two different rosters at the same level of play (A, B or C Division).

                                  THE FORMATION OF THE A AND B DIVISIONS

A Division

The best players from a league or district aged 11 or 12.

B Division

The best players from a league or district aged 10 or 11.

            THE CREATION OF ROUNDS OF GAMES FOR THE A AND B DIVISIONS

Within each division, the T of C conducts three, two week rounds of games, with the awarding of trophies at the end of each round. Before the second and third rounds begin, every effort is made to group teams together that appear to be at the same competitive level of play. This fact is one of the primary reasons why many towns enjoy entering one or more teams into the T of C.

                                          THE FORMATION OF THE C DIVISION

C Division

The best players from a league or district aged 9 or 10.  No player defined as a 9-year old may be listed outside of the Tom Wright C Division.

THE CREATION OF ROUNDS OF GAMES FOR THE C DIVISION

Within the Tom Wright C Division, the T of C conducts two, two week rounds of games, with the awarding of trophies at the end of each round.

* A players league age is defined as his/her calendar age as of April 30 of the current year.

With the increasing popularity of this summer baseball program, more and more teams look forward to taking part. We, the officers and members of the board of directors, look forward to our 28th season.  If you have any questions, please call Don McGowan at 781-272-0529  or  e-mail at Baystatebaseball@aol.com .

Sincerely,
Don McGowan
President
