Travel
Little League International has secured travel arrangements for all United
States teams participating in the World Series. All International teams will
be booked as Regional Champions are determined. Whether
arrangements are being made by Little League or not, your Regional
Director will provide you with travel arrangement information.
It is very difficult in working with the airlines regarding changes to
schedules. It might be impossible to change a return flight home earlier
than scheduled. Little League will do its best to accommodate teams.
However, the airline industry is informing us that if changes are made to a
schedule, there will be a per person penalty plus any additional costs as
the result of the change. Therefore, it might be necessary to return a
Regional Champion to the tournament site and make arrangements to get
them to the closest airport serviced by the airlines we are utilizing. Of
course, space availability is the key issue.
All travel arrangements will be coordinated through the manager. It is
then critical that the manager communicate this information to the players,
parents or guardians.
Affidavit
Each team will submit their tournament affidavit with supporting
documents to the Tournament Director at the Coaches Meeting. The
supporting documents and a copy of the affidavit will be returned to each
team for the tournament. The original affidavit will stay with the
Tournament Director for the duration of the World Series. The documents
you will be required to provide upon arrival are as follows:
 Envelope with the residency proof for each player
 Eligibility affidavit
 Copies of birth records for each player
 Eligibility waivers for any player otherwise ineligible
 Map of the boundaries of your league
 Any additional waivers concerning the eligibility of your team
 In addition to the team eligibility information, medical release
forms and affidavit, it is highly recommended that World
Series teams bring current immunization records with them
for each manager, coach, and player in case our medical
staff needs them.

Team Host Families
Team Host families play a major role in every player's World Series
experience. These dedicated individuals volunteer their time to be
ambassadors of good will for Big League Baseball. Each team is assigned
one family who will take on various responsibilities, from arranging uniform
fittings to helping in the coordination of the media activities involving the
teams. These volunteers spend every day of the World Series week with
their assigned team providing guidance and assistance to the players,
coaches and managers. The Host families also provide a valuable wealth
of knowledge to parents and relatives who have traveled to the World
Series.
Umpires
The umpires used for the Big League World Series are strictly volunteer
umpires. They have been selected from their respective regions and have
traveled to Easley at their own expense. They are highly qualified and
should be treated with respect.
Managers and Coaches Meeting
On Tuesday July 23rd, at 2:00pm, there will be a mandatory managers
meeting held at SWU. The purpose of the briefing is to provide information
on the expectations and policies surrounding the World Series
participants.
The $500 deposit for all teams will be due at this meeting.
The coin tosses for all pool games will also be done at this meeting.
General Media Information
The media covering the Big League World Series is generally very
friendly and courteous. If you feel that any member of the media is
overstepping his/her bounds, or not displaying courtesy, please inform a
member of the Big League staff at once.
Managers and coaches may be asked by a member of the media to
divulge "signs" you give to your players. We do not recommend that you
divulge this information.

Distribution of Promotional items or other Literature
It is Little League policy that no organization, group, company, etc., is
permitted to sell or distribute leaflets, placards, posters, promotional
material or any other items at the Complex without written permission from
Little League Baseball, Incorporated.

Participants may speak to journalists.
The manager, coach, parent or member of the Big League Media
Relations Staff must accompany the participant and the journalist.
After a game, we may ask participants to participate in a press
conference that will be conducted under the supervision of Big
League World Series Personnel.
Participants should speak with honesty to journalists.
Participants at the World Series should have fun!
Team Preparations for the Media
Big League personnel will guide each team, in uniform, through a preWorld Series information gathering process that includes:
1. A brief orientation on media procedures at the Big League World
Series
2. Team and individual photographs of every player and coach
3. Brief biographical information on every player (e.g. proper spelling
of name, uniform number, hitting position and defensive positions)
In addition, managers and coaches may be asked to comment briefly on
team strength, significant accomplishments and key players to watch.
To the extent possible, no media will be allowed to have contact with the
teams during any part of this process. The photographs and information
gathered will be provided to the media, scoreboard operators, editors,
official scorekeepers and ESPN personnel when all the information is
compiled. Therefore, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NO CHANGESINCLUDING UNIFORM NUMBERS-OCCUR AFTER TEAMS HAVE
COMPLETED THEIR TURN THROUGH THIS PROCESS. And it is
equally important that teams pay close attention to the spellings of names,
uniform numbers and other biographical information while it is being
gathered.
Big League Baseball World Series, P.O. Box 1976, Easley, SC 29641

Information forms for Major League scouts need to be filled out and
submitted. Be prepared to be contacted by media and reporters. An
adult should be with any player being interviewed.
Microphones
Remember that the managers (and possibly a coach or umpire) may have
LIVE MICROPHONES on them, and ANYTHING they say during the
game may be heard on national television. (Please note: It is not
mandatory that a manager or coach wear a microphone.) Microphones
will also be in the bases and elsewhere. Cameras are in place throughout
the stadium, and may be focused on you or a player, at any time,
anywhere, including the dugout.
It is important that ALL people involved in every game know this. We fully
expect that everyone involved will conduct themselves properly, and with
grace.
Little League International always receive telephone calls after the TV
games in which the public either praises or chastises the people involved
because of their actions on camera. How you act and what you say
during these games will reflect on the public's perception of the community
and nation you are representing. We hope all the World Series games win
praise.
Housing
All player participants, managers, coaches and umpires will be housed at
Southern Wesleyan University Dormitories.
Responsibilities of the Manager and Coaches
Each Team's Manager and Coaches are responsible for their own team.
SWU is equipped with air-conditioned dormitories, a recreation hall, an
infirmary and a dining hall. These facilities are to be treated with respect.
If there are any difficulties regarding the facilities, please notify your team
host family and they will contact housekeeping.
When traveling to and from the fields for practices and games as well as
meals, a manager or coach must accompany the entire team. Should a
manager or coach need to leave SWU or their team, always insure the
team is properly represented and supervised.
The curfew of all teams is MIDNIGHT. If your team is playing a late game,
the curfew may be extended until the team is showered.
Big League Baseball World Series, P.O. Box 1976, Easley, SC 29641

The behavior of all teams must be above reproach. Please be advised
that unruly behavior will not be tolerated. If such behavior exists, the
Tournament Committee does have the authority to release teams and
individuals from the tournament.
Security
The World Series goal is to provide a safe atmosphere for both
participants and spectators. Each participant, (players, managers and
coaches) will be required to wear identification badges at all times with the
exception of games. The badges will be provided at Check-in.
Meal Schedule/Dining Hall
Breakfast and lunch will be provided at SWU Stewart Bennett Hall
Cafeteria. Should any team elect not to eat a meal in the dining hall, the
manager must notify the dining hall at least 2 hours prior to the meal. This
notification will help the kitchen staff manage the food preparations more
efficiently.
Evening meals are provided and prepared by volunteers. Teams are
expected to attend all evening meals. In the rare event that a team will not
participate in the evening meal, notification must be given to the
volunteers 24 hours in advance. Your host family can help in these
special cases.

Uniforms will be laundered at the end of every day. The team will collect
all uniforms into bag(s) and deliver them to the reception area of Stuart

previous night for those involved in games scheduled for early the next
day. The lineup given to the staff member will not become official until just
before the game when the Plate Umpire receives his/her copy from the

who may have association with the team are not permitted in the dugout at
any time.

After the Series
Because the Big League World Series is a public event covered by many
media outlets, it is possible that someone may attempt to contact the local
league administration, manager, coach or even a player after the teams
return home. It is important that the players, managers and coaches return to
normal activities as soon as possible.
Please be assured that Little League International does not release contact
information on any player under any circumstances to the media, or any other
entity outside Little League International. If a member of the media wishes to
speak to someone at the local league level, it is Little League policy to provide
contact information for the media to the league administration, manager or
coach, and have those persons make contact with the media if they wish.
It is important that the parents of the players on your team understand this. If
the player receives unwanted or unsolicited contact from a person identifying
himself/herself as a member of the media, it should be reported to the Little
League International at once.

entonces crítico que el manager comunique esta información a los

juego puede ser escuchado en la televisión nacional. (Nota: No es
obligatorio que un manager o coach utilice un micrófono) Los micrófonos
también estarán en las bases y en otros lugares. Las cámaras están
colocadas en todo el estadio, y pueden estar enfocadas en ti o un
jugador, en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar, incluyendo en el
dugout.
Es importante que todas las personas involucradas en todos los partidos
sepan esto. Tenemos plena confianza en que todos los involucrados se
comporten adecuadamente, y con clase.
Little League International siempre recibe llamadas telefónicas después
de los juegos de televisión en el que el público alaba o castiga a las
personas involucradas debido a sus acciones en la cámara. Su forma de
actuar y lo que se dice en estos juegos se reflejan en la percepción del
público de la comunidad y la nación que usted representa. Esperamos
que todos los juegos de la Serie Mundial ganen halagos.
Hospedaje
Todos los participantes, managers, coaches y umpires serán hospedados
en los dormitorios de la Universidad Wesleyan del Sur (SWU).
Responsabilidades de Managers y Coaches
Cada manager y coaches son responsables de su propio equipo. SWU
está equipado con aire acondicionado, dormitorios, una sala de

coaches and managers will, when possible, be assigned rooms on the same floor,
some teams will need to be split due to the room configuration. Each room is
double-occupancy. All rooms are air-conditioned. A television lounge is located
in each building.
An Information Desk in Stuart-Bennett Hall will be staffed during peak hours each
day, usually 8:00 AM to midnight. A similar desk may be staffed in Child’s Hall
in the evenings. Any request, need or concern may be brought to the attention of
the staff at the desk on the main-floor lobby. A representative of the Tournament
Committee will be in the residence hall in the evenings. The specially-designated

laundry facilities and kitchenette. Telephone, computer and television portals are

Series Task Force expect Village residents to abide by all posted rules and
regulations and otherwise protect the rights and property of all. A damage deposit
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) is required of each team, all of which is
refundable IF there is no damage assessed at the time of check-out, and all keys
have been returned.
The World Series Village is located on the campus of Southern Wesleyan
University in Central, South Carolina. Central’s Chief of Police heads a Task
Force of law-enforcement officers who are responsible for Village security. A

crisis, the Information Desk has the phone number for making an appointment at
any time.

residents and their families need the services of counseling.

VILLAGE RULES AND REGULATIONS
Southern Wesleyan University is honored to welcome such accomplished coaches,
athletes and distinguished volunteers from around the world. University and
community volunteers will do everything in their power to render your stay in the
Upstate of South Carolina comfortable and enjoyable. However, we expect our
guests to reciprocate by honoring the following World Series Village regulations:
1. Southern Wesleyan University is an alcohol, drug and tobacco-free
environment. Your adherence to this absolute prohibition is expected.
Reported violations will be dealt with swiftly by the World Series
Tournament Committee with those found guilty being expelled from the
Village. This is intended for all players, coaches, managers, umpires and
guests.
2. Damage to private and/or University property will not be tolerated. The
team whose member(s) are thought to be responsible for such,
automatically forfeits the refunding of the Five Hundred Dollars
($500.00) security deposit. Violations should be brought to the attention
of World Series or University officials. This refers to all furniture in the
rooms, windows and screens, computers, and equipment around campus,
including the game room and basketball court in the gym.
3. It is required that coaches and managers reside in Stuart-Bennett Hall or
Childs Hall with their respective team. And whereas the University will
have security officers on duty 24-hours a day, the coaches and managers
are responsible for the health, safety, welfare and behavior of their
athletes. A team’s coaches and manager will be held directly and totally
responsible for the actions of their team during their stay in the
University Village.
4. The World Series Tournament Committee and University officials
expect umpires and their families, as well as other adult guests residing
in the apartments, to honor the fact that the University is an alcohol,
tobacco and drug-free environment. Violators will be asked to move offcampus.
5. Whereas local telephone service is free, World Series Village residents
are not to assess long-distance charges to the University. Any such
charges are the responsibility of the team and will be billed as such with
a penalty of $5.00 per minute.
6. Respect for Clemson Area Transit (CAT) Buses, borrowed vans and
other vehicles that may be used by World Series participants is expected.
The cost of proven damage will be assessed against the responsible
team’s deposit. Only authorized team representatives or Big League
personnel are permitted to drive the vans.
7. Only approved World Series personnel are extended meal privileges in
the Dining Commons. All others must purchase a meal ticket before
eating. Village Residents are required to show their Identification Badge
in order to receive their meal.
8. Professional and or/college scouts are not permitted to speak with
Village athletes without permission of the Big League World Series
Tournament Committee. Those with permission may use University
meeting space to meet with an athlete and his coach or manager. The
assistant at the Information Desk can make the arrangements.
9. Monitored surveillance cameras will insure the security of those in
Stuart-Bennett Hall. No one without proper identification is permitted
access at any time other than in the lobby. Guest females are not
permitted in the elevator or on any of the floors outside of the lobby.
10. A meeting will be held several mornings for all coaches, managers and
university and World Series personnel. The time and place for the
meeting will be announced. It is expected that each team will be
represented to discuss mutual topics of concern for each day.
