myklkp ... Yes, there will be an update in the next couple of days ... The soft entry deadline is later today (5:00 PM PDT on Halloween) ... That will give us the data to make informed field assignment decisions, which we will do efficiently ... We will NOT be returning this year to Legacy Park ... Good luck! ...

Discussion: Question for Dave Regarding border states

Mike ... See Rulebook §13.1(3)D.4. on page 65 ...

"..The Canadian provinces east of Manitoba are merged and known as the Eastern Canada region. The Canadian provinces west of Ontario are merged and known as the Western Canada region. These regions may draw players from their U.S. bordering states, but may not draw players from the other Canada region.."

Yes, we have opted out of the lease agreement with Legacy Park for the facilities to be used during the Winter World Championships ... This is because of the continuing financial uncertainties they are experiencing ... We are hopeful that they can resolve them favorably ...

The impact of the ball was forceful enough to immediately cause the glove to come off the fielder's hand and land on the ground with the ball in it. Once the glove with the ball (and without the fielder's hand in it) touches the ground, a catch is no longer possible. Batter-runner is SAFE ... Good call, Coop ...

NY² ... There are a lot of moving pieces in this one, so it's highly likely we may be in Halloween costumes when we have a firm answer! ... The operational status of Legacy Park is somewhat uncertain as I type this ... We are scratching around looking for a "Plan B" assemblage of fields across multiple PHX area cities (Glendale, Phoenix, Gilbert and Mesa) in case Legacy ends up being unavailable ... This one isn't being easy yet! ...

No worries ... Those are all fair questions, but this place is a poor environment for a "discussion" ... The folks in the office will be able to help you do the best for your team ... Good luck! ...

Ragude ... Please put all relevant facts on the table, THEN ask for a general ruling ... Tweaking facts, introducing different age groups, and omitting relevant facts makes this a poor use of anyone's time ... If you're seeking a definitive ruling, get the player names together, their actual ages and current team affiliations and call Sacramento to speak with someone in the eligibility department ... Their number is (916) 326.5303 ... Thanks and good luck ...
