Tournament Locations: locations will be determined by CCBL before each tournament, working with local member associations. Minimum requirements are 2 lighted fields in good condition, restroom facilities, and concessions.  CCBL provides the umpires, baseballs, and trophies. The host provides fields that are dragged and lined, scorekeepers, concessions, and an onsite tournament director to report scores. The host is encouraged to charge a $3 per day admission fee for ages 12 and up (players and 3 coaches per team are admitted free). The host uses this fee to pay for field preparation, etc., and keeps the balance for their association.

Age Determination: fall is preparation for next spring, so the players’ league age is their age for next spring season, determined by the player’s age as of 4/30/2009.

Player Registration: all players must be registered with CCBL to play in any tournaments. The registration fee is $12 per player. If a player has registered in Spring 2008, then that player is covered for the fall season as well. If a player has not been registered in 2008, then the player must be registered and pay the $12 fee. This is required by the insurance company and is not optional.

Team Tournament Entry Fee: $260 per team, per tournament

Registration Deadlines: all teams must be registered 10 days prior to the start of the tournament; players must be registered before the tournament starts.
