Tournament Affidavit FAQ

The Little League® International Tournament Affidavit is the document used to identify all players and coaches, and the manager of a team that represent a chartered Little League entering District Tournament play. Completion of the affidavit is done online through the Little League Data Center and requires specific information. For the local league official(s) responsible for completing the tournament affidavit, a collection of Frequently Asked Questions has been compiled to assist with the process. You are encouraged to review the questions and answers before you begin.

General

The Tournament Affidavit system was available in the United States beginning on May 15, 2024 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.

In advance of completing your Tournament Affidavits, please have the following information ready for each team:

• Current contact information for your League President and Player Agent.
• Manager/Coach names and contact information including address, phone, and email.
• The address (residence or school) that each player will be using to establish eligibility.
• The name and division of regular season teams for all players and coaches.
• Birthdates for all players.
• The number of games played for each player.
• Any approved waivers (II(d), IV(h), or Charter Committee).

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.

We enrolled in tournament, so why can't I see the "Manage Tournament Affidavits" link on my league dashboard?

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.
