Playing under 55+ eligibility
Long Island Tides play under Long Island MSBL/MABL rules rather than any code of their own. The 55+ bracket is an age floor, and it is the rule that decides which clubs this side actually plays.
Bat rules, roster limits and pitching restrictions are the league's to set and are published as handouts.
Rules three clicks from the schedule are rules nobody has opened, and High Cheese keeps the Long Island Tides pair together.
