Tournament Affidavit FAQ

The Tournament Affidavit system was available in the United States beginning on May 15, 2023 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.

To complete your Tournament Affidavit, you will need to do the following:

• Ensure that tournament enrollment is complete and that there are no outstanding regular-season balances for your league.
• Verify your League President and Player Agent information.
• Gather team information for all teams in each division, including team names, schedules, and number of games completed by the start of the tournament.
• Gather manager and coach information including physical addresses, email addresses, and primary phone numbers.
• Gather names and physical addresses of the schools in your league’s boundaries that are being used to establish eligibility for any player.
• Gather player information including their addresses, birthdates, regular season team names, number of games played, and any waivers (if applicable).

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.
