"Electronic" Rule Books Include Video Demonstrations
In 2005, Little League International introduced a new way to
access baseball and softball regulations, playing rules and
tournament rules through the Little League E-Rules CD.
The electronic rulebooks allow users to search the rules
electronically, making it easier and faster than ever for district
and league officials, managers, umpires and others to find the
information they need.
Now, there are 11 video demonstrations on
the CD. As you look through the books, certain rules will include a
movie camera icon. You simply click on the icon, and a short movie
will play that explains the rule in action.
A sample of one of the rules is on this page. The rule depicted
deals with obstruction by the defense when a play is not being made
on the runner. Keep in mind that the video resolution of the rule on
your E-Rules CD will be much sharper.
Each video is between 90 seconds and three minutes long, and will
play on most PCs. Since the video is on the CD itself, there are no
bandwidth worries.
Using Adobe® Reader® technology, E-rules are available from the
Little League Store for just $10 per CD. The CD provides access to
baseball rules in English and French; softball rules in
English and French, the Little League Operating Manual in English,
and “A Year in the Life of Hometown Little League” in English.
E-rules are not printable, nor are they transferable. The user must
have the CD in the computer to be able to view the text and/or
search for keywords.
Just like the printed rulebooks, the E-Rules expire at the end of
the year, when Little League issues updated rulebooks for the coming
season. As with printed rulebooks, the Little League E-Rules are
available only to those authorized to purchase them by the district
or local Little League. (Must have district or league ID number.)
District administrators worldwide will each receive one free E-Rules
CD.
Little League E-rules are only compatible with computers running the
Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating systems.To order a CD of Little League E-rules, call the Little League Store
toll-free at 800-874-2852 and ask for item No. 130 or logon to the
Little League Data Center and order online.
