Our Dixie Boys league is fielding 2 tournament teams this year for the first time in quite some time. The problem is that only one coach, me, is interested in coaching the 14 year old team. We (our league president & I) both contacted the guy in charge (district director?) and were told that at the state level 3 were really necessary but at the district level 2 would be all right. I told him that at the moment we only had 1. He said that we should try to find another and that the rule requiring all tournament coaches to also be regular season coaches (0.49) would be waived in this case. Upon reading the rules further, 0.21 states "Only thirteen players and three coaches shall be permitted on the field or bench." I read this to refer only to the maximum number allowed as opposed to "Each team must have at least two coaches present at each game." Anyone have experience with this situation which would apply here?
