Note:  SCLL will use one playoff bracket this year for all Majors teams.  It will not be American and National separate bracekts.  As such we will now track the standings for one league, not American and National.

Majors is using a hockey scoring system of 2 points for win and 1 point for tie to determine standings.
There will be no penalty box though.

Playoffs - No reseeding.  The bracket is the bracket, just like March Madness.
Double elimination, losers get vanquished to the losers bracket.
Bracket will be posted when it is completed.
Top 4 seeds receive a bye

If you have any questions about the 2018 season or any questions in general, please contact Ted Mathias at tmathias@axway.com  

We look forward to a great season ahead!!

Please note that as of January 1, 2018, the new USA Baseball Bat Standard will be implemented. Little League-approved baseball bats that are approved for use for the 2017 season will no longer be acceptable for use in any Little League game or activity starting on January 1, 2018. For more information on the USABat standard and a complete list of bats approved through the USABat Standard, visit usabat.com.

Please click on the two underlined links above and the one link below to get more detailed informaton on the 2018 Little League Bat Standard, why it changed, and what bats will be allowed in 2018.

Key Takeaways

* In order to maintain the integrity of youth baseball, the USA Bat Standard will create wood-like performance in youth bats while allowing younger players to use lightweight bats that could not be acheived with actual wood bats.

*  This change will lead to less home runs and because of the bigger barrel, more balls in play.  It will also create more safety for pitchers as the exit velocity of balls hit will not be as high.

*  The new Bat Standard might seem complicated, but the key thing to remember is this...if a bat has the USA Baseball Stamp on it (pictured below), it is fine to use for the 2018 Little League Season.

Wood Bats:

It shall not be more than 33 inches in length; nor more than 2⅝ inches in diameter, and if wood, not less than fifteen-sixteenths (15/16) inches in diameter (7/8 inch for bats less than 30") at its smallest part. Wood bats taped or fitted with a sleeve may not exceed sixteen (16) inches from the small end.

NOTE: Solid one-piece wood barrel bats do not require a USA Baseball logo.

21. How will wooden bats for Little League play be effected by the new USA Baseball bat standard?-

A: Solid, one-piece wood bats that adhere to Little League’s regulations will be allowed for play with or without the USA Baseball mark. Multi-piece wood bats must have the USA Baseball mark to be approved for play. This includes two-piece wood bats, composite wood bats, laminated wood bats, bonded wood bats, bamboo bats, and any wood bat that could be defined as an ‘experimental’ design.
