Rules and Regulations for the Great Bend NBC Points tournaments in April and June
General: We will follow NBC baseball rules for each age division. Two pool play games will lead into a single elimination tournament unless otherwise specified due to registrations and/or weather.

Dugouts: Only coaches and players are allowed in dugouts for insurance purposes.
