re: Number on a 13-15 BR League team
In reply to:
"In my town we had 2 13-15 year old teams to start with. Now at the end of the season our team has 9 players and the other team has 8. They have combined the teams to make 1 team. Is this legal to have 17 players on 1 team? Also is there a mandatory play rule in this age group."
No, you may only have 15 players on one team.
Actually, for a combined team of 15, this could have been handled earlier in the season, within the Babe Ruth rules by submitting an add/drop form by June 30th. What occurs is that you in essence disband one team, dropping members, and add some of the other members to the other team. You must show, however, that all members of the team has played 50% of the games (at least 10 usually) to qualify for All-Star eligibility.
Try next year, if you want two teams, to begin with more players because injuries and dropouts do occur. Or begin with one highly motivated team of 15 players.
Hope that helps.
