PBI BASEBALL LEAGUE 2013 SPRING SEASON INFORMATION

The PBI Baseball League spring season is a Sunday league. Game times are determined by coaches. Games may be played on another day by agreement of both teams, but if you are not able to have a team of at least nine players on Sundays in the spring, this might not be the best choice for your team.

SPRING SEASON SCHEDULES, SCORES & STANDINGS WILL BE HERE. (Currently scores, standings, etc. from the 2012 fall season and current indoor season are there.)

NOTE - your team should pick the appropriate level based upon the combined skill of your players, not where they are from.

BAT REGULATIONS
On December 30, 2010 Little League International issued a moratorium on composite bats from the Majors Division on down. The PBI Baseball League will follow suit for the 2013 spring season at the 46/60 and 40/60 field levels. For ALL 50/70 divisions (11U through 13U) and ALL 60/90 divisions at the 13U and 14U levels, the PBI Baseball League will follow the guidelines that Little League International will be using for either their Junior League level or "transitional" 50/70 Pilot Program. Up-to-date information is available on the PBI home page. Both high school divisions of the PBI Baseball League (junior varsity and varsity) will follow the nationally recognized high school guidelines for bats.

PITCHING REGULATIONS
9U through 14U uses a pitch count through all divisions. 8U has a 2-inning per pitcher rule. For the sake of clarification, an inning pitched consists of 3 outs. There is NO pitch count rule at either of the high school levels (JV or varsity). NOTE - New York public schools began using a pitch count at the high school level in 2011. If New Jersey public schools ultimately follow suit, the PBI Baseball League will then do the same. Until that happens, there will be NO pitch count at the high school level no matter whether the team is based in New York or New Jersey.

AGE CUTOFF
The age cutoff for the 8U through 14U levels of the PBI Baseball League's 2013 spring season is April 30, 2013. Whatever age a player will be on April 30, 2013 is that player's "league age." A player may "play up" an age level; he cannot "play down" under any circumstances.

REGULAR SEASON
The regular season for all age levels (8U through high school) will begin Sunday March 24 (no game Easter Sunday) and continue through Sunday May 19 - 8 game schedule.

THIS IS A SUNDAY LEAGUE. IF YOU CANNOT COMMIT TO SUNDAYS, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE LEAGUE FOR YOUR TEAM.

PLAYOFFS
The top four teams in each skill division of each age level will meet in a single elimination tournament. Playoffs and championship games will take place Sunday June 2 and 9 respectively. PBI provides individual awards for players on the first and second place teams.

COST
REGISTRATION FEE - EARLYBIRD PRICE $150 if paid by JANUARY 11th.
AFTER JANUARY 11 - $225 if paid by FEBRUARY 15.
AFTER FEBRUARY 15 - the registration fee is $275.
NO REGISTRATIONS WILL BE TAKEN WHATSOEVER AFTER MARCH 8.

The league fee includes free insurance for teams that are in need. PBI cannot hold a space for you; teams are taken on a first-paid, first-served basis.

INSURANCE - FREE from PBI. If you need insurance, contact Jim Monaghan directly - jim@baseballclinics.com
