What is the definition of qualify? Simple to be on roster? To get one AB? To play a game?
To simply me on roster and sign-in without regard as to if one actually plays in game or not?
We presume that the player is [1] on the team's tournament roster, [2] signs in at the Director table before playing and [3] actually appears as a participant on at least one game card ... If a later determination is made that a player had a "phantom tournament appearance", he will be removed from that qualifying roster and will have to re-qualify ...
Would a player that is on the tourney roster, checked in, and just pinch ran be qualified or do they need an official at bat?
A player who has appeared in the game as a Courtesy Runner has participated in that game ...
