What follows are the specific LOCAL ground rules adopted by the Board of Directors for Major League Division 2017 Season

All other rules of play are addressed in the Rulebook of Little League Baseball edition for the 2017 season.  
(LPR: Local League Playing Rule)

LPR 1)   NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Pursuant to Little League Rules [Rule 4.16; 4.17] games may NOT be played with less than nine (9) players. Once a game has begun with the regulation number of players, any player arriving late will be added to the bottom of the batting order. In the event a player is ejected from the game, the game may NOT continue if the roster of available players has gone below the nine (9) required to play.  This regulation applies also in the event of an injury to a player results in not having the required nine (9) players. In the event that the required number of players is not available the game is suspended (if it has begun) or is postponed (if it has not yet begun), and the managers are to reschedule the game through the Vice-President of the Division.

LPR 2)   Two (2) adult base coaches may be used, per LL Rule 4.05.

LPR 3)   Adults are not to warm up a pitcher between innings, either on the field or in a bullpen area.

LPR 4)   Managers and coaches must stay in the dugout and may not enter the field of play unless coaching a base, or the plate umpire has AWARDED time. Please note the detailed description regarding this issue in Rule 4.05 of the Little League Rulebook.

LPR 5)   All players are to wear a protective athletic cup, regardless of the position being played.
