League Placement System
The following describes HLL's League Placement (Baseball) System. Placement is based on a player ranking system. The method of ranking players is as follows:
A player can achieve a maximum value of 4.00 points, calculated by:
Tryout Results (up to 1 point) - Scored by Independent Evaluators
Team Ranking (up to 0.50 points) - Scored by the Team's Coaches from the prior year
“Little League Age” (up to 0.25 points) - Sliding scale with 12-year olds earning the most
Age/League Ranking (up to 1 point) - Scored by the League's Head Coaches from the prior year
League Points (up to 1.25 points) - Sliding scale with prior year's Majors participants earning the most
The above baseball placement system is used for the following leagues:
