New Mexico Amateur Baseball Association

Date: May 28, 2009

To: AABC Baseball Coaches

From: Chuck Sheldon, President NMABA

Subject: Baseball Scheduling

Dear Coaches:

Enclosed is a tentative list of baseball coaches participating in the AABC leagues and a proposed TOURNAMENT schedule of games that takes into consideration the information you were provided. Please review the schedule, as soon as you can, so any last minute changes may be made to reflect our 2009 season. This season, as in the past, to reduce travel expenses we have scheduled two round-robins to meet our AABC requirements.

Connie Mack baseball will start after the regular High School Baseball Season is complete. This year, for the second year, New Mexico is hosting The Don Mattingly World Series July 26 thru August 1. There is also a world series qualifier in Phoenix the week of June 25. For information please contact us.

League play is scheduled between teams, however a master list is posted on the Web site. Coaches traveling should call the opposing coach the evening prior to travel, to avoid conflicts. At this writing we have identified two teams in the southern part of the and will help coordinate a round robin in late June. Other weekend travel should be scheduled individually by each of the teams.

The High Desert Classic is scheduled for the July 9thru 12, 2009. State Tournament dates are as follows:

The Southwestern Regional dates and World Series are posted on the AABC National Web Site.

General Operational Procedures:

1) When scheduling individual games, you should contact the teams you plan to play prior to traveling. This will allow the home teams to make any last minute changes necessary to fields or times for the convenience of both teams.

2) American League rules will be used as the standard for all league games. We do not use high school rules. However, to facilitate kids playing, re-entry of players during the season is allowed using NM High School Rules. In post season play there is no re-entry.

3) Farmington in the past has agreed to inter-league with us, I have enclosed a current list of coaches for you to contact to schedule games at either Farmington or your home fields. If there are any problems, please contact me so they may be worked out to the benefit of all participating.

4) Remember, the games are for the kids and every team goes to state, in the 15-18 age groups. Therefore, everyone needs to work together to create the best league we can for the kids and ourselves. If we make this fun, we'll attract more teams and kids into the game. But, more importantly, we'll create an environment everyone wants to participate in.

5) Your registration fee of $225.00 to cover insurance premiums and National, State, and Local dues was due May 15, 2009 . Each round-robin fee will be established to cover umpires and fields. Note, Fees to be paid prior to playing.

Please contact me immediately if you have any concerns.

Sincerely,

Chuck Sheldon, President
