Most players in the Majors will be 12 and 11-years old. However, very highly qualified (very high impact) 10 year old players (Historically 0-2 in each year), may also be drafted by the Managers of respective Majors teams, after player evaluations.

Team Manager draft players based upon the player's tryout ratings and their individual team needs for a given season. Each player must play a minimum of three innings in a six-inning game. Coaches focus on developing individual and overall team skills to field the most competitive team.

Nine players are assigned to field positions and all 12 players bat with the exception of inter-league games where local rules may vary. Game scores and standings are recorded. Upon completion of the regular season, a post-season playoff tournament is held. The First Place team from the tournament advances to the District Level Tournament of Champions (TOC)
