Tournament Affidavit FAQ

The Tournament Affidavit system was available in the United States beginning on May 15, 2025 at 9 a.m. ET.  This corresponds to the first day on which tournament teams can be announced. The release of names of players selected for the tournament team shall not be made before May 15, and not until the availability and eligibility of all prospective team members have been established.

In advance of completing your Tournament Affidavits, please have the following information ready for each team:

• Current contact information for your League President and Player Agent.
• Manager/Coach names and contact information including address, phone, and email.
• The address (residence or school) that each player will be using to establish eligibility.
• The name and division of regular season teams for all players and coaches.
• Birthdates for all players.
• The number of games played for each player.
• Any approved waivers (II(d), or Charter Committee).

League Presidents and Player Agents can create and edit Tournament Affidavits by default. Additionally, anyone may be granted the “Manage Tournament Affidavits” permission by the League President by editing his/her officer record.

If you are not the League President or the Player Agent, then you must be granted the “Manage Tournament Affidavits” permission in order to see that option. Also, a league that is on Tournament Hold cannot complete Tournament Affidavits.

Leagues that owe $250 USD or more in regular-season fees (i.e., chartering and insurance enrollment fees only) are placed on Tournament Hold. This prohibits the league from enrolling any further teams in tournament and from creating Tournament Affidavits. You may pay off that balance via credit card or electronic check in the Data Center or you may mail a check or money order made out to “Little League Baseball” to: Little League International, PO Box 3485, Williamsport, PA 17701-0485. Once your payment has been received and processed, your league will be released from Tournament hold within 1-2 business days.

You can create one (1) affidavit per team enrolled in tournament.

Either 1) you have not enrolled a tournament team in that division of play or 2) you have already created the maximum number of affidavits for that division of play (i.e., one per enrolled team).

Check to see if you have indicated that any of your players are using that school for their Eligibility Type.  You may not delete a school if any players have that school specified.

Check to see if you have indicated that any of your players are listed as being a member of that team.  You may not delete a team if any players have that team specified.

The maximum number of players on a team in all tournament divisions, except Senior League, is fourteen (14). The maximum number of players on a team in the Senior League division is sixteen (16).

You can edit a previously created affidavit by clicking the “Manage Tournament Affidavits” link in the Data Center, finding the affidavit in the list, and clicking the “Edit” button.

No.  You must print the map and affidavit separately.  Please remember to reprint both any time you edit any of the information on your affidavit.

This may happen if an address is new (e.g., in the case of a new housing development).  Please contact Little League Support or at (570) 326-1921 ext 2800 between the hours of 9am and 5pm ET, Monday through Friday.
