PBI BASEBALL LEAGUE 2011 FALL SEASON INFORMATION.
The PBI Baseball League fall season is a Sunday league. Game times are determined by coaches. Games may be played on another day by agreement of both teams, but if you are not able to have a team of at least nine players on Sundays in the fall, this might not be the best choice for your team.

BAT REGULATIONS
On December 30, 2010 Little League International issued a moratorium on composite bats from the Majors Division on down. The PBI Baseball League will follow suit for the 2011 spring season at the 46/60 and 40/60 field levels. For ALL 50/70 divisions (11U through 13U), the PBI Baseball League will follow the guidelines that Little League International will be using for either their Junior League level or “transitional” 50/70 Pilot Program. Up-to-date information is available at the top of the PBI home page.
PITCHING REGULATIONS
9U through 14U will use a pitch count through all divisions. 8U will have a 2-inning per pitcher rule. For the sake of clarification, an inning pitched consists of 3 outs. There is NO pitch count rule at either of the high school levels. NOTE – New York public schools began using a pitch count at the high school level in 2011. If New Jersey public schools follow suit, the PBI Baseball League will then do the same. Until that happens, there will be NO pitch count at the high school level.
AGE CUTOFF
The age cutoff for the 8U through 14U levels of the PBI Baseball League’s 2011 Fall Season is April 30, 2012. Whatever age a player will be on April 30, 2012 is that player’s “league age.” A player may “play up” an age level; he cannot “play down” under any circumstances.
REGULAR SEASON
The regular season for all age levels (8U through high school) will begin Sunday September 11 and continue through Sunday October 30 – 8 game schedule.
THIS IS A SUNDAY LEAGUE. IF YOU CANNOT COMMIT TO SUNDAYS, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE LEAGUE FOR YOUR TEAM.
PLAYOFFS
The top four teams in each skill division of each age level will meet in a single elimination tournament. Playoffs and championship games will take place Sunday November 6 and 13 respectively. PBI provides individual awards for players on the first and second place teams.
