Seems like Championship Play becomes the exception now.

Pool Play are the games you play to get seeded for elimination games ��. Pool play is what this Rule is for, when you go to a Tournament where there are 60 (16)U teams playing, some teams try to beat the system by not winning on purpose. Then as Mr. Irish said they are playing elimination Games. Game On Then Book Rule. Really not a big deal, at the better Tournaments Teams only have at most 10 or 11 players. And I do Like it ��

It looks like you may have a question ? �� Irish commented that Pool Play is Championship play "Like it or not" ? I was commenting on my experience with Tournament Play. Did I answer Cecil ? You can not win a game in Pool play and still win the Championship Game. I hope this helps.

Pool play is required and in certain levels used to seed the team into the double elimination. It is part of the championship tournament.

Whatever number you start with must remain the same unless you lose players as mentioned in the rule.

This should say
"Whatever number OF BATTING POSITIONS STARTED WITH",
not
"Whatever number you start with"
.................................................. ...............

EXAMPLE: If you start with 12 batters you cannot increase to 13 batters or decrease to 11 batters.

This should say
"batting positions" not "batters"
to avoid confusion with the shorthanded rule and possibly with DP/FLEX.
