Assistance: • We want all players to thoroughly enjoy themselves during the tournament. If you need any information or assistance please contact your team manager immediately.

Conduct: • Your conduct must be above reproach on and off the field. Any misbehavior or misconduct could not only cause you disqualification from the tournament but could also disqualify your team as well.

Schedule: • Follow your team schedule at all times. Be at tournament games and special events on time. Be sure to check with your manager and Tournament Director whenever you wish to divert from the listed functions.

Appearance: • As champions we expect your dress to be neat. You may of course dress informally and comfortably. At all times, neatness and cleanliness of appearance is required.

Uniforms: • Each player on the same team shall wear a different number on their uniform. The division appropriate Official Shoulder Emblem must be worn on each team member’s left shirt sleeve. For sleeveless uniforms, the shoulder emblem must be worn on the left front chest. For additional requirements see the attached Regional Uniform Requirements.

Swimming: • You must check with your manager and/or coaches prior to planning to go swimming, particularly on game days.

Flags/Banners: • If your league or team has a banner or flag (or state Flag), please arrange to bring it with you. We will request you to display it during the opening ceremonies.

Housing: • No host family housing will be provided for this tournament.


Managers/Coaches Uniforms: • The Manager and Coaches must each have a matching jersey which matches their players. Coach’s jerseys do not need to contain a number. Coaches may wear “coaches shorts” as long as the coach’s shorts are the same color, match each other and are in general color coordination with the team colors. The division appropriate Official Shoulder Emblem must be worn on each coach and manager’s left shirt sleeve. Coaches must wear appropriate shoes-no sandals or open toe shoes.

Umpires: • The umpires provided for this tournament have many years of experience working softball. They will enforce all rules and regulations covered in the official softball rulebook and the rules and regulations of Babe Ruth Softball. Please treat them with respect at all times. Only the manager will be allowed to discuss an umpire’s decision or any play of a controversial nature. The home plate umpire will be informed of the identity of each team’s manager prior to the start of each game.

Sportsmanship: • Any player, manager, coach or fan acting in an unsportsmanlike manner will be removed from the playing field and facility immediately. Such behavior may also result in disqualification from the tournament.

Action Photos: • No photographers shall be permitted inside the playing fields, bullpens or dugouts. Media photographers shall obtain permission from the Tournament Director.

Spending Money: • Each player should bring enough money to potentially purchase a program, tournament shirt, concession items and other personal items that they might need.

Catcher’s Gear: • Catchers are required to wear a mask and helmet during warm-ups both before and during the game. Any other player that is used to warm up a pitcher either between innings or in the bullpen should wear a helmet and a mask.


Batting Helmets: • An approved double ear flap batting helmet must be worn at bat, while running bases, in the on-deck circle and by any other player that might be coaching at first or third base. In addition, all bat persons must wear a batting helmet while on the playing field. Use of the “caged” helmets is required for all Babe Ruth play.

In the Dugouts and on the Field • Only players, managers, coaches and bat persons will be allowed in each team’s dugout or on the field. Anyone in the dugout must be on a league’s roster during the regular season and also included on the tournament roster. This does not include your bat person.

Equipment: • Bats, gloves, balls and other equipment must be kept in the dugout, in the proper place and never on the field. Discarding of bats, helmets, gloves or any other items in an unsportsmanlike manner can result in an ejection from the game.

Host Team: • Members of the Host Team are to be treated and are subject to all the same regulations as the other participating teams.

If you have any questions about things to see and do during your visit to Elizabeth and surrounding areas, do not hesitate to contact the tournament director/officials. Remember you are guests of the host league and their community. Please enjoy yourself at the tournament.
