Here are the rules and regulations for Carson City Little League play.

• Little League International Baseball Rules
• Carson City Little League Supplemental Rules (Updated December 2025)
• Pitch Counts Rules and Days Rest Requirements
• Little League International Tournament Rules

Coaches should consider downloading the free Little League Rulebook App. The app contains the Official Regulations, Playing Rules, and Operating Policies for all baseball divisions.

• All Divisions:
  1. Minimum play time will follow Little League Regulation Rule IV(i) Mandatory Play (“a minimum of six (6) defensive outs”). The six defensive outs do not need to be consecutive.
• Juniors/Seniors Division:
  1. Will use Continuous Batting Order (CBO) to be consistent with interleague and tournament play.
  2. To control game durations, no new inning will start after 2 hours 15 minutes.
• AA Division:
  1. To manage game durations, especially on Saturdays with back-to-back games, all games will have a two-hour time-limit and no new inning will start after 1 hour 45 minutes. If a game is called due to the time-limit during an incomplete inning, the game ends at the end of the last previously completed inning (see Rule 17(a)).
  2. AA Division is the first division in CCLL that allows players to pitch. Rules were adopted to allow pitchers to develop while managing player safety and encouraging active game play (see Rule 19(a) for the complete rule).
     • (i) No Walks: Pitchers can strike batters out. Umpires will call balls and strikes. If a pitcher throws four (4) balls to a batter, then a coach for the batting team will come in and throw the remaining strikes to the batter.
     • (ii) Hit-by-pitch Limit: A pitcher will be removed from the pitching position if they hit 3 batters in an inning or 4 players in a game.
     • (iii) Runners shall not be awarded a stolen base while a coach is pitching. If a runner steals a base during a coach-delivered pitch, the runner is to return to their starting base.
• AAA and Majors Divisions:
  1. To manage game durations, especially on Saturdays with back-to-back games, all games will have a two-hour time-limit and no new inning will start after 1 hour 45 minutes. If a game is called due to the time-limit during an incomplete inning, the game ends at the end of the last previously completed inning (see Rule 17(b) for AAA Division and 17(c) for Majors Division.

A scorekeeper is required for every team in Minor AA, AAA, Majors, and Junior/Senior divisions. Scorekeepers need to a phone or tablet that runs the Android (Google) or iOS (Apple) operating system.
