AAA / MAJORS BASEBALL

The AYL 2010 AAA & Majors season will consist of 18 games played over an 11 week season beginning Monday April 12, 2010 and will conclude on Thursday June 24, 2010.  Games will be played Mondays through Thursdays.  Teams participating in the AAA/MAJORS division may request up to four (4) bye requests for the season.

Teams must register and submit final payments by Friday February 19, 2010.

The MAJORS division will be limited to no more than eight (8) teams in each age.  For ages 11 and above, the AAA division will be limited to no more than the next eight (8) to ten (10) teams in each age (at Board discretion).  The remaining teams in the age group could participate in the AA Continental division.

Teams will register to play in the AYL AAA/Majors division, however they will not indicate the level of play desired.  At the discretion of the AYL Baseball Board, all registered teams will participate in a pre-season seeding tournament to determine the appropriate participation level of each team.  There is no fee for the seeding tournament.  The seeding tournament will be played beginning Friday March 5, 2010 through Sunday March 14, 2010, with seeding tournament games played over the weekend March 5, 6 and 7, please plan accordingly.  There are no bye requests for the seeding tournament.

For the seeding tournament, teams will be seeded in the order of their finish from the previous season, with the Majors division first, the AAA division second, and new teams randomly seeded last.  For example, if there are 6 returning Majors division teams from 2008, and 10 returning AAA division teams from 2008, the AAA teams will be seeded 7-16, new teams will then be seeded 17 and so forth.  Pre-season seeding tournament games will be played until the MAJORS, AAA and AA Continental division teams are determined.  There is no champion, nor are trophies awarded.  The 8 AAA division will not participate in the seeding tournament for seeding purposes as all registered teams participate in this age group.

At the conclusion of the regular season play, the top 4 teams will participate in a single elimination playoff.  If there is a tie for the 4th place playoff spot, there will be a playoff between the tied teams. The playoffs will begin Monday June 28, 2010 and will conclude on Monday July 5, 2010, with the World Series played Tuesday July 6, 2010 thru Thursday July 8, 2010.  No playoff games will be scheduled between Thursday July 1, 2010 through Sunday July 4, 2010.  Trophies will be awarded to the top 2 teams participating in the World Series game.  There are no trophies for regular season finish.

Post season berths will be awarded to the qualifying teams in the MAJORS and AAA divisions as of the standings on Wednesday June 9, 2010.  There will be no post season berths for AA Continental divisions.

AA Continental
The AA Continental division is designed for the competitive team that is not quite ready to play with the top MAJORS or AAA teams in the age group, however they want to play games Monday through Friday leaving the weekends open to tournaments or participation in other weekend sports.

The AA Continental division will be offered for the ages 11, 12 and 13 only.  The AA Continental division will have a World Series champion, however no post season berths will be awarded at this level.  There are no uniform restrictions for the AA Continental division teams. 

Teams participating in the AA Continental division will play under the AYL AAA/MAJORS rules.  The AA Continental World Series will be played Tuesday July 6, 2010 thru Thursday July 8, 2010.
