Tournament bracket is below. There are slightly different rules for non-SWCL games, mainly runners cannot lead off.

 

For the majority of our games, including all SWCL regular seasons games, we’ll play two-thirds of the team. For this, the team has been divided into three equal groups (Groups A, B, & C) with the emphasis on having a balanced team for any given game.

There will be one tournament (Eastman) and some late-season non-SWCL doubleheaders that we will play while split into two teams (Team 1 & Team 2) instead of using the Groups. These games will allow for maximum playing time for kids at the games.

If we make the end-of-season SWCL tournament (July 11-16th), all of the Groups on our team will be used. However, to be clear, with 22 total kids it will be impossible – nor much fun – to try to get playing time for everyone. Substitutions will be limited and we will be attempting to be as competitive as possible in that tournament. If you have any questions about this – please have a conversation in advance with a coach.

So why not just have two teams? A fair question – with a few responses.

  • When we registered our team for the SWCL, we had 19 kids signed up at their deadline. Not enough to split into two teams. (SWCL does not allow teams to swap players as needed.) Three additional kids signed up after we registered our team to make for a total of 22. Even with this, knowing of conflicts with vacations/trips, having two set teams for league play would be very difficult.
  • Having one team split into groups allows all of these kids to have an opportunity to play together and have fun with their friends – which is a big part of what makes summer baseball enjoyable.

Please take note of what GROUP (A, B, or C) and TEAM (T1 or T2) that each player is assigned to. Those groups/teams are referred to on the game schedule below.
