LL Tournament/AAU Involvement

Does this rule apply to alternates? Are alternate players subject to the no participation in other youth baseball programs? In other words, if tournament has begun and players are no longer able to play, can an alternate player from the regular season play if he has played a game on another team outside of the league prior to being put on the official LL All-Star team? Are you to inform any alternates that they cannot play on any other teams because they may be needed to replace another player? Are they not to play on any other team, and wait for the team to call on them when and if they are needed? Please respond if you know if this applies because it has come up in our league and I need an answer?

Here are the only rules I can find which apply:
2004 Tournament Rules and Guidelines for
Little League Baseball
9-10 Year Old Division Baseball, 11 Year Old Division,
Junior League, Senior League and Big League Baseball

Participation in Other Programs
A player may participate in other youth baseball programs prior to the first game involving
that player’s team. Once play begins for a tournament team, players named on that
team’s tournament affidavit may NOT participate in any other youth baseball program until
that team is eliminated from tournament play.

Tournament Eligibility Affidavit
It shall be the league president’s responsibility to review and certify the birth records
(league age) and residence (as defined by Little League Baseball, Incorporated) of all
players. When the league finally decides on the makeup of the team, names must be
entered on the league’s Eligibility Affidavit. Once the District Administrator certifies the
eligibility affidavit, the tournament team will be required to have in its possession:
1. the tournament affidavit;
2. copies (originals not required) of the records used to verify date of birth for all players
on the affidavit;
3. a map showing the actual boundaries of the league, with locations noted for the
residences of the parent or legal guardian (court appointed) of every participant
named on the affidavit.
4. three or more documents to determine residency of the parent(s) or guardian
for each player named on the tournament affidavit.
IMPORTANT: Alternates are not authorized. They shall not accompany the team
and shall not be listed on the Eligibility Affidavit.
Eligibility Affidavit must be certified by the District Administrator or his or her designated
appointee and presented by the team manager to the Tournament Director before
every game. NOTE: The Eligibility Affidavit becomes official once the team plays its first
tournament game.

Replacement of Player, Manager or Coach
Any player, manager or coach listed on the Eligibility Affidavit who is unable to participate
because of injury, illness, vacation or other justifiable reason may be replaced by
another eligible person. If a player, manager or coach is replaced, that person may not be
returned to the Tournament Affidavit. Permanent replacements must be from the league’s
regular season teams and shall be recorded and approved by the District Administrator or
Tournament Director in the space provided on the Eligibility Affidavit. Exception: If a manager
or coach is unable to attend a game for a justifiable reason, a Tournament Director
could approve a temporary replacement. Temporary replacement of a manager or coach
need not be entered on the Eligibility Affidavit.
