Registration
Registration will be the same as last year, $1475.00 per team. This has
to be paid in full at the league meetings mentioned above.
Proposed Changes for 2008
For the 2008 season, we have decided to combine A and B into one
division called Men's Open and C and D into one division called Men's Rec.
These divisions will contain up to twenty teams each with each team
playing each other team once for a total of 19 round robin games. These two
divisions will then be split into four divisions based on positions.
For instance, teams finishing 1-10 in the Men's Open will move to Men's
Open A while teams finishing 11-20 will move to Men's Open B. Similarly
for Men's Rec and teams in these new 4 divisions will then play each
other team once for 9 more round robin games. The top 4 (or 6) in each
division will make the playoffs. This means teams will now get 28 round
robin games, which is 8 more than last year, but less teams will make
the playoffs making all games more meaningful. In total, both divisions
will contain 40 teams and players WILL NOT be permitted to play on more
than one team under any circumstances. During registration, teams will
submit rosters and only players on these roster sheets will be eligible
for league play. If a team needs to pickup a player at any point in
the season, it will be submitted to the newly formed league committees
(see below) for approval. Rules will stay the same as previous years with
the exception of player eligibility rules which will be created in
association with the player reps. Some of you have expressed concern about
scheduling and time restrictions with the implementation of the new
format. Basically, a typical night will work as follows:
Game 1: Team 1 vs Team 2
Game 2: Team 2 vs Team 3
Game 3: Team 3 vs Team 4
Game 4: Team 4 vs Team 5
Five teams will play on a given night, three of which will play two
games. The remaining two teams will play again another night during the
same week to makeup the two game criteria. We’re the only league in
town that plays double-hitters so hopefully having two games spread over
two nights on occasion won’t be a major issue. If time does become a
factor, we may have to bring in a time limit but we’ll try the format
as is at first. Two 20-team divisions will also mean games being played
outside of Caribou. This is unavoidable but the scheduling will be
done as fair as possible. The biggest issues last year were off-weeks and
weeks with only one game. These two situations will be eliminated this
season.
Game start times will be 5:45pm this year.
League Committees
I would like to create league committees for both leagues this year. I
am open to suggestions as to which format to use along with how many
members will be needed. With up to 20 teams per division, a committee of
20 people might be too large but I would like committees in place to
handle certain issues such as those listed below. At the league meetings
mentioned above, I will distribute a sheet asking for names of those
interested.
1) Minimum number of games required for playoffs.
2) Adding players after the season has started.
3) Adding playing after a game has started.
4) Ruling on issues that arise during the season.
5) Other Rules, etc.
6) Updating standings, scores, submission of scores to media.
Prizes from Last Year
For those of you that haven’t picked up prizes from last year, please
email me. For those that won jackets, I requested that teams submit
sizes but I only heard back from three. Thus I had to guess sizes but
nevertheless, jackets have been ordered and I’ll let you know as soon as
they arrive.
Banquet
We have made several attempts over the years to have year ending
banquets, trying virtually every format, but nothing seems to attract the
attendance we’d like. If you have any ideas, we are more than willing to
try again. Please send along any suggestions.
HR Awards
We would also like to have HR awards this year (one for each of the two
divisions). The HR counts will be confirmed by the umpires and
verified by the league committees. I would also like to have a sponsor for
these awards so again, if you know of a possible sponsor, please let me
know.
Maximum number of teams this year
As I mentioned about, we’re hoping for 40 teams this year spanning
two divisions. To do this, we will require fields in addition to Caribou.
Caribou alone can only handle 32 men’s teams keeping in mind that we
currently have an over-40 league and a coed league operating at
Caribou. If we can’t secure outside field space, we will have to cut back
the total number of teams to 32 based on a
first-teams-to-pay-from-last-year basis. There is also an option to play Friday nights, maybe one or
two Friday’s per team per year (let me know your thoughts).
All for now but once again, please send me an email to confirm your
teams entry for the upcoming season.

Bat Policy
All leagues and tournaments operating at the Caribou Complex must abide by the ASA Approved Bat list. Any bat
listed on the ASA Banned List will not be permitted under any circumstances. In addition, it is
recommended that all groups use the .40 core Worth Grey Dot Slo-Pitch Ball. All other balls must be approved before being used.
