- Institutes a new rulebook by January 1 every year.
- These rules are the defacto standard for play if there are no district or local league bylaws.
- These rules override district & local bylaws for All-Star games at District, State, Regional, & National division levels.
- Paperback versions are provided with each AAA, Majors, Intermediate, and Juniors division team equipment bag.
- Mobile phone App version can be downloaded for free.

- These rules are in effect for District 2 Interlock play typically used by the Majors, Intermediate, and Juniors divisions.
3. Monarch Little League Local Bylaws
