Does anyone know what the pitching rules are for 10U Cooperstown? Our 9U team is headed there next year. I read that teams add extra pitchers. Do they have inning limits and rest required between outings? Is it enforced? |

There are no pitching rules. In fact, a pitcher can start a game, get pulled, and come back in to close if necessary.
The need for adding more pitchers is that when you get started in elimination play, it is almost back to back until it is done. You need players to get you through without tiring. |

No use of Designated Hitter
No one player in a game can assume more than one offensive position
Extra Hitter - (coach's discretion: 0, 1 or 2) - If using an extra hitter(s), you may use one or two players. The extra hitter(s) MUST hit in the TENTH and ELEVENTH POSITION and CANNOT enter the game defensively to play a position. Only one (1) player may occupy each EH position per game. You may remove your EH(s) for the duration of the game at any time, without penalty. You must notify the plate umpire prior to removal. Extra Hitters must be announced prior to the start of the game; no mid-game entry is permitted.
All players on the Cooperstown Dreams Park official team roster will be allowed to participate in all official games.
Prior to each game field umpires will review the rules and official line up cards with both head coaches. The home team book is the official game book.
Re-entry rule: Starters may re-enter in the same offensive spot once. Substitutes cannot re-enter the game once they have been removed. Extra Hitter(s) cannot enter the game defensively, except as outlined below.
Exception to the re-entry rule when a player is injured and all legal substitutions have been used. The following is an allowable option:
If using an EH (extra hitter), the EH may enter the game defensively (this is the only time an EH may ever enter the game defensively). The injured player's spot in the batting order will be skipped with no penalty. This change must be announced to the opposing team and to the plate umpire at the time of injury.
Any pitcher can re-enter as pitcher as long as he/she stays in the game. Once removed from the game, the pitcher can re-enter the game defensively, but not as a pitcher.
No pitching restrictions (coach's discretion).
Balks will be called following Major League rules. There will be one warning per pitcher per game, until the single elimination tournament begins on Wednesday. The warning will be an immediate dead ball. All balk calls after the warning will be delayed dead balls.
Courtesy runner - A courtesy runner can be used for the CATCHER and PITCHER of RECORD ONLY at any time. This is not a substitution and is optional. Courtesy runners may not be in the current lineup.
Must slide /avoid contact rule. A player must slide or attempt to avoid contact on all close plays (umpire discretion).
Headfirst sliding is permitted only into first, second, or third base. Headfirst sliding IS NOT allowed into home plate.
Teams provide their own bats for game play (no size or weight restrictions) (NO WOODEN BATS).
Coaches have the right, at any time, to call a Director to a field for a rules interpretation (Director Call). This does not include JUDGMENT CALLS made by the umpires. This action is to be taken in lieu of protests. In order to properly handle each Director Call, play must be stopped and the Director must be called BEFORE the next pitch. If the disputed call involves the last play of the game, the protesting team must appeal before the umpires leave the confines of the field.

When the pitchers arm crosses the plate with the ball, he is done for the day.
Seriously, there are no restrictions, remember you have 6 games in 3 days, and then on Wednesday you can have 1 - 5 games, and on Thursday you can have up to 4 games.
It can be done with 4 pitchers, but, if any one of them has a bad outing, you better have backup...
