Here is a new rule that may kill of National South
ITEM 10 – AFFECTS REGULATION II (G) – ALL LEVELS OF PLAY
(g) Upon approval of the International Board of Directors, each local Little Leagues’ boundaries will be “frozen” at its current status. “Frozen” means, each league will continue to operate under its current boundaries. The league shall limit its boundaries to and draw its players from an area approved by the District Administrator and Regional Director. Boundary maps for leagues must be signed and dated by the League President and District Administrator with a copy to be sent to the Regional Office.
The Charter Committee reserves the right to grant waivers and adjust boundaries where needed. All requests for mergers and to expand league boundaries by adding additional territory must be provided to the Charter Committee through the District Administrator and Regional Director. The decision of the Charter Committee on these requests is final and binding
Note 1: Each league will be required to submit an updated boundary map, approved by the District Administrator, to the regional office. This will be required for tournament privileges for the current season.
Note 2: All leagues currently operating under a divisional format must continue to operate under this method.
Exceptions to the divisional format can only be granted by the charter committee in Williamsport.
Note 3: Any request for newly chartered league will be reviewed by the Charter Committee under this regulation before a charter is granted. The decision of the Charter Committee is final and binding.
Intent of this proposed change: This regulation change would eliminate the “20,000 population limit,” but retains the principle involved in boundaries for a local league. It also reserves for the Charter Committee the ability to make adjustments when justified.
This has been implemented for the 2007 season!!
