ESD League – If you sign up to play on the league weekend date(s), you are considered to be in the ESD league. There are no league fees, just the per game fee. There is no league tournament at the end of the year. There are no regularly scheduled games during the week in the summer, however, if you want to schedule games with the teams that play in the league weekend date(s), you may do so in order to get your 5 league games in per player for State. Your team can be in more than one league

League Weekend Rules:

• 75 min. time limit
• Games may end in a tie
• Open substitution
• Pay for the number of games you want and for either Saturday and/or Sunday games.
• Pending on the number of teams and how many games each team wants – you may
• be required to play an older/or younger team to get all games in.
• $40.00 per game you want. The fee covers the umpire pay ($30.00 per game), game balls and field preparation-dragging, raking, chalk, etc… Each team will be notified when a schedule is done and will be posted on www.yanktongirlssoftball.com and/or Facebook: www.facebook.com/YanktonGirlsSoftballAssociation

• Please send in your fees with your registration. The host will be responsible at these weekends to pay the umpires.

• USA Softball SD requires 5 league games for each girl who participates in the SD ASA State tournament. Keep your own scorebook for your records. They could be requested at the State Tournament. Any team participating in these games will be considered to be in the ESD Travel League. If your team can not make any of these games but would still like to be part of the league let us know and we will add you to the list so you can schedule games against other league teams and fulfill your SD ASA requirements.
  
  
• This is not a tournament, these are considered league games. USA Softball rules will be followed. An exception we will allow you to bat everyone and allow open substitution. 10U – 5 runs per inning, 12U – 7 runs per inning. 75 min game time or 7 innings. Games can end in a tie and in 10 & 12u Div if the home team is behind by more than run limit when time runs out the game will be over. Since these are league games and the idea is to get girls game time the run ahead rule will be left up to the coaches at the time whether to continue or end the game.
