The minimum roster to play in the league tournament is 7. If your team has less than 7 rostered players available (not counting borrowed/guest players), you may still play, but the team will take a loss after the completion of the game. If your roster is under 9 rostered players, you are allowed to borrow up to a maximum 2 players to get your roster to 9, but you are not allowed to exceed 9 players on a roster with borrowed players. Borrowed players must be from within the league. They can be from another town in the league but CAN'T be a select player or from a higher division. Borrowed players must play outfield and can't pitch AND will bat last in the batting order.  If you elect to play the game with 7-8 players and you choose to not use borrowed players to get to 9, you will take a maximum of 1 out after the last player in the batting order bats. ***The league retains the right to make roster exemptions in special circumstances.
