The format will be as follows and is subject to change if needed by the director: Pool play game lengths will be no new inning to start after 75 minutes and can end in a tie. International tie breaker after 75 minutes in bracket play (excluding Championship). Mercy Rule: 10 after 3 innings/ 8 after 4 innings/ 6 after 5 innings.

Tie-breaker to be decided by #1 Overall record #2 Head to head competition #3 Runs allowed #4 Run differential 8 maxium per game. #5 Coin flip if needed. The following tiebreaker system will be used to determine an order of finish in the event a tournament cannot be completed. Note that all games in the tournament should be used when average runs scored or allowed are being computed. This includes both pool and bracket play. 1. All teams still in the Winners’ Bracket are ordered first using the following: a) Least average runs allowed per game played b) Highest average runs scored per game played c) Most wins including both pool and bracket play. d) Coin toss Next teams in the same spot in the Losers’ Bracket are ordered by the following: a) Head-to-head (this is used first when only two teams are in the same spot) b) The team which advanced farthest in the Winners’ Bracket before losing d) Least average runs allowed per game played e) Highest average runs scored per game played f) Coin toss 3. If only two teams remain in the tournament and each has one loss in bracket play then those teams will be declared co-champions. Protests-Umpires will work to settle all problems on the field. Protests from the offended team will be allowed for age and rule interpretations and Player eligibility only. The Tournament Director may at his discretion charge a protest fee of $100 cash. Protests of player eligibility shall be charged per player. The Plate Umpire shall suspend all action and notify the Tournament Officials of any protest. Tournament Officials and UIC will rule on all protests and their decision will be final. Rule interpretation protests must be declared to the Plate Umpire before the next pitch following the dispute. No rule interpretation protest will be allowed once the Umpires have left the field at the end of the game. In tournament play all rule interpretations protests must be settled before any play can be resumed. Player eligibility protests made during the game must be declared to the Plate Umpire. Player eligibility protests made after the game must be declared to the tournament director. During pool play protests on player eligibility must be made before pool play has concluded and bracket seedings have been established. During bracket play protests on player eligibility must be made before either team has begun their next game. If a player eligibility protest cannot be resolved at the time of the protest the game shall be completed. If the eligibility protest is upheld before the game is completed: the offending team loses the game is ejected from the tournament placed last in the standing and forfeits all awards sponsor travel money and berths that would have been awarded at that tournament. If the eligibility protest is upheld after the game is completed but during the tournament: the game shall stand as played. However the offending team is ejected from the tournament and assumes the same penalties as above. If the eligibility protest is upheld after the tournament is completed: the team shall be placed last in the tournament standings and the standings shall be adjusted accordingly.
