Roster FAQ

Why are roster sizes so big?

Rosters are built with the intention of teams having enough pitchers and catcher to compete in the event. More often than not the biggest complaint that we hear after the completion of an event of this type from managers is that they did not have enough pitching to compete in the event.

Roster sizes also ensure that when players no show we do not have to break up a team mid event and change everyones schedule.

What if players do not show?
