I asked before we signed up and this tournament is being played like a normal LS tournament.
1) You're allowed to bat 12. What you decide to do is whats best for your team. Don't let other peoples opinion dictate the way you play. I bat 12 and everyone pretty much gets the same amount of @ bats.
2) Homeruns in E is just an out
3) This is a huge tournament, to many teams to only play at one complex. So it is needed to play in other complexes. To keep E at HSP all Saturday is smart. Limits traveling and the chance of any issues going from one place to another.
Dont give answers to peoples questions if you are not 100% sure.
