Tournament Recruiting

TOURNAMENT RECRUITING POLICY - Updated: February 17, 2019

 
Article 1: NO recruiting of players for tournaments will be allowed unless the player’s manager is contacted in advance of contacting the desired player. Furthermore, NO manager may add any player to their tournament roster other than those players currently on their local team roster without prior approval from the player’s manager. If the league president can determine if a league team is not intending to form a tournament team, then the restriction of having to contact the team manager is waived. The manager of the desired player in question may decline the contacting person the right to talk to or add said player to their roster ONLY if the player’s manager is also taking a team or taking part in putting together a team for entry into the tournament in question.
The only exception to this policy is if only one team is being formed for a tournament in which there is no time conflict with another age group. In this situation the team manager has the right to contact any local league member to fill the roster.

Any violation of this policy will have the following results:
1. Restriction of league players from the offending manager’s team for one year. No free agents or tournament players will be allowed to take part in any tournament or on any team the violating manager is registered with.
2. Possible fine and/or suspension from league play.
3. Possible league suspension from World Series and tournament play for one year.

Article 2: No player from a regular season team that plays for another team in a tournament will be allowed to move to that tournament team for regular season play for one year. This does not apply if the player is a three (3) year free agent. If not a three (3) year free agent said player may be traded to the restricted team ONLY by the team he played with the previous season on approval of the Board of Directors or the League President. If said player is NOT a free agent and signs with a team other then the one he played in the tournament for, the team he signs with CAN NOT trade said player to any team he played with in a tournament the previous year.
