Spano NSA Indoor Tourney Rules

[default]

My team is playing in the 14U tournamnet in this weekend and I know that a team can only use 2 outfielders. What has the rule been for number of players in the batting order. I know the NSA rules state you can have 2 additioanl players and a DH. What do you do at Spano - total of 10 or 11 batters? In other words do you lose a batter becasue there is no right fielder?

You can bat as many as you want. I'm pretty sure you can bat the whole team if you want.
