We are changing our policy that only paid teams or teams paying a deposit will be guaranteed a spot. Some tournaments sell out and teams get turned away only to have teams drop out last minute. You can continue to pencil in but it does not guarantee you a spot only shows interest in tournament. Balance must be paid the week prior by Friday. Don't be the team holding up schedules getting done.
Game Changer will not be considered a book. Too many mistakes are made and difficult to figure out. The official score will be the umpire card. It will be the responsibility of both coaches and the umpire to make sure the scorecard is correct every inning and after the game. Once the card is turned into SU officials the score will be the official score. A single run can make a difference for your team or someone else. Make sure we are getting scores right!
If a field can not be fit for our dimensions we reserve the right to change dimension rules for that field or tournament. This will effect mostly 8u-12u. Every effort will be made to have fields exact but as we struggle to get fields most little league fields do not always go to 65'. The fields may be played at 60' vs. 65' or 70'.

**Couple rule updates to take note of. We are getting a rash of issues with players playing when too old. We will never give permission and this is not a protest issue. Its rules and safety issue! We do not want to continue to have to stop and deal with these issues. The penalty for a player too old is a forfeit of all games player played in. As a coach you could be held liable for knowingly breaking this rule. Not worth it. We are moving cutoff date from April 30 to May 1 to be inline with most National Organizations. If you have a question USSSA website has a easy to use calculator. Make sure every player has a birth certificate available.
**Teams if you are not paid by Friday the week prior you will be dropped and deposit forfeited. ** You are holding schedules from being completed and posted.
Coaches - Reminder you are responsible for your parents and fans conduct. We have a zero tolerance for abusive behavior. Umpires are to be respected. If there is a issue let us handle it. We are strained every tournament as is every organization to get umpires. Do your part - honor the game - be a example to your players. Parents - be a example to your player.
We are trying to get more younger umpires involved and trained to help fill the need for umpires. Do your part to make them want to learn and get better. The younger guys are starting at the younger ages and move up as they learn and get better themselves. There is not enough umpires as is and we lose more every year. Do Not Be That Team No One Wants To Umpire!
Sun flower seeds have always been part of baseball - but they cause issues with keeping the field mix clean and compact. We will respect the fields crews desire to give us the best playing surfaces possible. Not to mention no one wants to clean up your pile of seeds left on the ground. Please pass this on to your parents and fans. As you can see from tournaments that are already sold out for lack of fields we need to do our part to be welcomed back. Leave the park clean when your done and help us keep the fields available to play on.
No alcohol at any of the parks! Your team may be asked to forfeit and leave if we are approached again by cities with this problem. Clean up your trash - we should be appreciative of the use of the city parks.
Umpires usually change out from plate to field every 2-3 games. We schedule tight to keep things moving with run rules etc... be patient if umpires are a little late getting back. Be prepared to play early or late. We will do our best to stay on time. Remember they need to eat and have a break also.
No new inning after 1 hour 40 minutes.
Make sure scores are correct on game card before leaving fields!

**Championships will now have 2 hour time limit - no new inning after 2 hours. **
Championships played on fields with curfews will have time limits if lights curfew may come into play. If lights go off - the last completed inning will be the final. 11pm is the curfew we deal with the most.
There is also a no seeds or shelled nuts allowed at all Santa Clara Parks. Please clean up your trash at all parks and do your part to keep facilities clean. Fields are becoming harder to get and we need to make sure we are good guests. Please talk to players about digging holes in outfield grass - this has became a major complaint by grounds crews.
**All bats must be USSSA 1.15 Stamped**
We have banned same Demari Bats as USSSA. We will continue to follow USSSA bans. Please refer to their site for more information.
**New grade /age rule USSSA has implemented is under review by SU Baseball**
As of now we will only allow this by special request.. We have found very few kids that are April birthdays or earlier that have been held back. We can see both the reasons for the rule and the issues it may cause. We do not want to see the rule used for the wrong reasons. We do see good reasons to let a child play with the kids he will play in HS with and attends school with. Please remember that we are here to provide a avenue for our youth to play quality baseball. We put a lot of effort into trying to always improve our events and do what is best for the kids.
