Manager - Roster Notes

• Here is a PDF with a Roster form http://gulfportlittleleague.net/forms/roster.pdf
• Each player needs their number on the roster. The other team and umpire do not know them by name.
• Provide a copy of the roster to the plate umpire and the opposing team (and the official score-keeper if there is one)
• The batting order does NOT change. A sub takes the position in the batting order of the player they are replacing.
• Each sub MUST complete minimum play before they can be removed from the line-up.
• Starters may be replaced before completing minimum play but must fulfill minimum play before the end of the game.
• Batting through the line-up

• This is sometimes used in Minors so that players "on the bench" get more playing time and feel more "part of the game"
• This must be agreed upon before the game, during the meeting at the plate with the umpire
• This does count toward minimum play (one "at bat")

• When a player leaves the dugout to bat, the NEXT batter (with a helmet on) should run out and retrieve any bat left from the previous play
• Changing player positions on the field is NOT considered a substitution (except for pitching changes)

• Other notes
  • Players may leave the field (with the umpire's permission) to go to the restroom. NOT to the concession stand or elsewhere.
  • Managers and coaches may NOT leave the field. The saying is "You can leave any time you want, just don't come back".
  • After the game make sure the dugout is clean and trash cans emptied. We hope you found it clean when you arrived.
  • After the game rake the pitchers mound. The fields are watered during the night and the mound needs to be properly formed.
