Legal Lineup: you must have at least 8 players to have a legal lineup, if you have less than 8 and want to borrow players from other team in order to play a scrimmage, please do so, however a 6-0 forfeit win will be awarded to the other team. 

See forms section for full rules by division.

All teams must use USA Baseball bats!  See forms section for full rules.

There is a hard deadline for schedule changes. After the deadline, only weather-related postponements will be rescheduled. Games scheduled before this deadline cannot be rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice.  If you cannot field a team and notice is less than 24 hours the opposing team will be credited with a forfeit win.

Rain out procedures:

The host team (not necessarily the home team) is responsible to check their field before a game.

If you need to cancel a game due to field conditions or weather you must contact our umpire in chief, Chris Marcic directly. chrism@msasportsny.org 516-456-1592.  Make sure to call or text for cancellations the day of the game.  This must be done at least 2 hours before scheduled first pitch or there will be a travel surcharge of $xx billed to your Little League organization.

If you are postponing, you must contact your opposing coach first, agree on a new date, then fill out the change request form. Do not fill out a change request form for this until you have agreed on a new date. Your game is not officially rescheduled until you receive confirmation from a Merillon Classic Administrator.
