Entry and Eligibility Rules
|
|
The MSL
reserves the right to refuse any player or team permission to participate in
a tournament. The MSL reserves the right to add, delete or merge
divisions based on the number of teams entered at anytime before the
tournament, and will give every effort to give teams advance notice;
however, the MSL may not be able to do so. If a team planned to enter
a deleted division, that team may play in another division or receive a
refund. The MSL also reserves the right to make changes to the rules
or make changes in prizes and/or giveaways (but with a substitute or equal
or greater value), which would then be effective upon notice to the teams
participating in the tournament
|
|
Player Eligibility:
|
- Age - A player is eligible to participate in an official league
sanctioned tournament game on the date of their 18th birthday. Players
under the age of 18 years are not eligible.
- Waivers - Prior to participating in a game, all players must
have signed waiver
forms, which have been placed on file with the
League.
- Women - Women are eligible to participate
in any MSL tournament provided they meet the age requirement eligibility
- Proof of Eligibility - A manager of a
team may at any point during a game question the eligibility of opposing
team members. We request that all managers have copies of their
player’s waivers with them during games to afford proof of player
eligibility. Managers not having player waiver copies with them when
requested to offer them by an opposing manager may face possible protest
and investigation of their roster. It is
required that all players have a valid picture ID in the event a
player’s age or identity is questioned. Any player unable to
produce a valid ID will be ineligible to continue in the game and any
subsequent game until a valid ID is produced. If it is found that
the player or players in question is ineligible, then the offending team
will not only forfeit the game of the filed protest, but all games
played up to that point in the tournament, regardless of whether the
ineligible player participated in the previous games.
|
|
Team Eligibility:
|
|
All
players must have MABL/MSBL affiliation unless the tournament is indicated
to be an “Open” MSL tournament.

|
Ex-professional Player & College Player
Requirements
|
|
Players who are under verifiable professional baseball contracts are
ineligible to play in MSL tournaments. A player must be out of any
level of professional baseball (Major League, AAA, AA, A, Fall League,
Instructional or Rookie Leagues) for 3 years prior to the start of a
Tournament. Therefore, any player who received compensation for
playing baseball from a baseball organization listed above within the last
three years prior to the start of a Tournament is ineligible to play in the
tournament unless given special permission to participate by the
MSL Tournament Rules Committee. A participant in the MSL tournament is
not considered an ex-professional ballplayer if the player has been out of a
contract of any level of professional baseball for three complete seasons.
Teams violating this rule will forfeit all games in which that player (or
players) played even if the violation is discovered after the fact.
Final resolution in such a situation is at the sole discretion of the
Tournament Rules Committee. Players who played on a college team or
college practice squad, including a club college team are eligible to play.
The National MSL Tournament Rules Committee reserves the right to alter
these requirements or make special considerations to these rules.
