little league baseball
 

In tournament play is there a 10 run rule for boys little league baseball?

Yes, umpiregal65. :D
LL Baseball rule book "TOURNAMENT PLAYING RULES" #12. TEN-RUN RULE (page T-16), printed toward the end of the rule book beyond the regular season rules "Index".
10 run rule applies to all LL levels.
FYI: Same rule is in LL Softball rule book (page T-15)
Hope this helps.

Isnt this ruling only valid until the 3rd inn?

The ten run rule is in effect as soon as it becomes a regulation game. That would be four innings (3 - 1/2 with the home team ahead) for majors and below, and five innings (4 - 1/2 with the home team ahead) for juniors and above.

This might be a good time to remind Little League umpires and league officials who read this board of the availability of a tournament rules "cheat sheet" I put together each year, available at:

It would also be a good time or some of us to thank you for the hard work you put into creating that chart each season, Dave. It's been used by our TD's in both district and section play to help them out.


Thanks!

Wow, you do that? Great job! Our association uses it as well. It really gets around!:)

Thanks a million this definitely will be circulated to the max in our league. :)
