Last Updated: 4/16/2015
General
District 4 9/10 & 11/12 Travel will follow Little League “Green Book” rules for the Majors Division of Play
with the exception that teams participating in the 11/12 Select 50/70 league will be following the Intermediate
Division of Play. The purpose of this document is to provide a quick reference guide for coaches and umpires
with respect to the “Most Commonly Confused Rules” to work towards more consistency/transparency and
ultimately provide a better playing experience for the D4 Travel Player.
