Good Morning Everyone,
Wow, what a great tournament. Hats off once again to the BOD's and all interested parties for putting this tournament together. You could not ask for a better start than what happen on Saturday night with the close games. Once again the same thing last night. What a great time for our young players, parents and all the friends. Sorry for those who are gone.
I know that we are in the middle of the tournament and what a great tournament it is but just to give you a little incite what is coming down the road for 2008.
I went to the District meeting yesterday morning in Chowchilla. Here are a few changes and items that did not pass (these are just a few items discussed) from the 24th Little League International Congress which meets annually.
1) All 12 year olds must be drafted
316 Yes 142 No 3 Abstentions

2) Eligible for tournament play must participate 60% season

3) Minors Only - 5 run limit
310 Yes 137 No 0 Abstentions
Approved for 2008
4) Minors Only - Minimum 9 outs for subs
128 Yes 318 No 1 Abstentions
Failed
5) Minors Only - Each player must play 3 outs in the infield
125 Yes 321 No 1 Abstentions
Failed
6) Runner leaves to soon - dead ball runner out
162 Yes 299 No 0 Abstentions
Failed
7) Runner leaves to soon - remove runner from base
72 Yes 288 No 1 Abstentions
