Welcome to Little League Baseball Ontario

This site hosts information regarding Little League Ontario and its Provincial Tournaments (rules, dates, schedules, etc.). For information on specific Districts or Leagues in Ontario, follow the links found on this site's Links page. That's where one would look to find to house league and other weekend tournaments, as this site is just for the Provincials.

For information on Little League programs, rule changes, etc., please visit Little League Canada or Little League International.

Oct 25, 2008 - The AGM was held, with 7 of 8 districts represented. Nothing earth-shattering happened, here are the highlights:
- We bid a fond farewell and thank you to out-going members Jim Tremblay and Wes Snihur.
- A new board is elected (see Board page).
- Draws for 2009 Provincial Tournaments were done (see Draws page).
- Two new By-Laws added for Dispute Resolution and for voting by e-mail (see By-Laws page).
- Tournament formats changed slightly. If we have only two teams we will use a best 2-of-3, and the 6-team Round-Robin playoff format is changed to a more standard 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 single elimination (see Tournament Regulations page).
- Tournament sites confirmed, except at Senior (see Sites page). We hope to have that resolved in a couple of weeks.
- We are asking Little League Canada for a two week delay to November 15th, 2008, in order to figure out who is hosting the Senior Provincials and the Big League Canadians. UPDATE: They gave us until December 1st, 2008.
Oct 31, 2008 - Printable PDF versions of updated By-Laws, Tournament Regulations and Hosting Regulations have been created and are available from links on their respective web pages.

Nov 04, 2008 - Added some proposed dates for the Major Provincials, based on the Travel date given to me by Little League Canada.
