This will require all managers to track their pitchers' pitch days and pitch counts on a "pitching affidavit" for baseball or "pitcher log" for softball and pitch totals must be entered into the GHLL online pitch tracking system [applies to Minor BB, Major BB, Junior BB and Senior BB].
This affidavit or log must be signed by the scorekeper,umpire, and opposing manager after each game.
If a manager does not have this affidavit or log completed and available at the start of each game to prove pitcher availbility, the game may be immediately protested by the opposing manager before it begins. The game will be played but under protest. The GHLL Board of Directors will determine the outcome of the protest under the usual procedures for handling protests.
