Thanks Jeff and Travis,

If I hadn't given away all my rule books I probably could have looked this up myself, but I appreciate the magnatude of wisdom that resides in this group.

Please help me clarify one more thing (because I'm aging and CRS is setting in!), Juniors, pitcher in the set position, has hands separated taking his signs, does it matter if the ball is in his glove or throwing hand?

The number of coaches is determined at the game - not from the number of players on the roster.  If you have 12 eligible players at the game, then the team only gets a manager and a coach.  If the team has 13 or more eligible at the game, then they get one manager and two coaches.  Of course these must be coaches named on the affidavit (this could be a temporary situation also, as noted in the regulation below):

"Managers/Coaches in the Dugout - If a tournament team has thirteen (13) or more

eligible players in uniform at a game, then the maximum of three (3) adults who are named

on the affi davit (or authorized temporary replacements as noted on the affi davit) will be

permitted to act as manager/coaches for that game. However, if a tournament team has

twelve (12) or fewer eligible players in uniform at a game, then a maximum of two (2) adults

must be named at the start of the game as manager and coach. The two named adults

must be listed on the affi davit, or must be authorized temporary replacements as noted on

the affi davit. If there is a third adult listed on the affi davit, that adult is not permitted to be in

the dugout or on the fi eld during that game.

"Replacement of Player, Manager or Coach

Any player, manager or coach listed on the Eligibility Affi davit who is unable to participate

because of injury, illness, vacation or other justifiable reason may be replaced by another

eligible person. If a player, manager or coach is replaced, that person may not be returned

to the Tournament Affi davit. Permanent replacements must be from the league’s regular

season teams and shall be recorded and approved by the District Administrator or Tournament

Director in the space provided on the Eligibility Affi davit. Exception: If a manager or coach

is unable to attend a game for a justifi able reason, a Tournament Director could approve a

temporary replacement. Temporary replacement of a manager or coach need not be entered

on the Eligibility Affi davit. A manager or coach who is ejected from a game may not be

replaced for the team’s next physically played game. (See Rule 4.07)"

Hope that helps answer your questions.

 Help me out please with a tournament question;

A player in the middle of tourny competition gets hurt, receives stitches and now cannot play for the remainder of the tournament. This drops his team down to 12 players. Can they replace him with a new player? I'm thinking not but more importantly, if not, does the team have to drop one of the coaches? They currently have 3. Not sure what rule covers this.
