Pool games may end in a tie but during elimination rounds the tie breaker rules will start in the 8th inning or when the time limit is reached.

Should a team fall short of nine players due to substitution and then injury, a bench player(s) of the opposing team's choice may be substituted for the injured player(s).
During pool play, the home team will be determined by coin flip.
The ASA run ahead rule will be in play (15 after 3, 12 after 4, and 8 after 5).
Game time is forfeit time.
Protests must be settled on the playing field before the game can continue. No protests will be allowed after the game is completed.
Seeding for the elimination round is based on pool play results in the following order: most wins, fewest losses, head to head competition, runs allowed, runs scored, and coin flip in that order. The highest seed will be home team during elimination rounds. Should both teams be the same seed, then a coin flip will be used.
When they become available, single elimination round game schedules will be announced at the concession stands, on this web page, and the voice mail at (603) 598-4176. This telephone number is voice mail only.  Call the division director listed above if your questions are not answered there. If you need to be contacted otherwise, please leave contact info at a concession tent.
To assure insurance coverage for the umpires, only teams registered with the ASA are eligible to participate. Teams not ASA registered can register with the NH ASA at the tournament for a $50.00 fee.
Teams should participate with the same roster as used in regular season play.
Please bring rosters, proof of age, and proof of insurance to the tournament for inspection at any time. (ASA Player ID cards, legible copies of birth certificates, adoption papers, or driver's licenses are acceptable proofs of age).
10U Game Rule: Additional rules for this age bracket will be provided. For 10U there shall be no stealing of home, only one base on a steal attempt regardless, and there shall be no bunting when a runner is at third base. Should a runner advance illegally under these conditions, the runner(s) will be returned to the appropriate base without penalty.
Rain Policy: Schedule change information will be available on this web page or by calling our voice mail at (603) 598-4176. Call the division director listed above if your questions are not answered there. During round robin games, the time limit rule continues to be in effect during any rain delay. Round robin games will not be rescheduled. Pool play games completing less than 3 full innings (2 1/2 when home team is leading) will be considered a tie for both teams with the runs after the last complete inning, 0-0 for games with no innings completed. Ties due to rain are not counted as a win or loss. Single elimination games may be shortened to 3 innings or one hour if necessary to make up for rain delays. If it becomes impossible to complete the tournament, winners will be based on win/loss record, head to head competition, runs allowed, runs scored, and coin flip in that order.
Hotels: There are numerous hotels in the Nashua area, which is just across the river from Hudson.
