ZLL POST SEASON TOURNAMENT
All AA Baseball, AAA Baseball and Minors Softball teams are entered into a post-season tournament that starts the week of June 19.
All rules that were used in the regular season still apply for this tournament! The only exception is there is NOT a drop-dead time limit. While coaches did a great job in balancing playing time and giving players equal opportunities in the regular season, coaches only have to meet the minimum play requirements during the tournament (players cannot sit the bench for consecutive innings). Coaches may put players in the field in positions that the excelled at the most and not move them around as much as the regular season. The teams that make the championship game will be recognized on the field in a medal ceremony immediately following the game!
Below are the Brackets which detail the scheduling of the tournament. At the end of the week, when teams have played their final regular season games, we will use the final standings to "seed" teams. The 1st place team will be "Seed 1", 2nd place "Seed 2", and so on:
