I certify that the information shown above regarding me is correct. I agree to devote my entire service as an American Legion Baseball (ALB) player this season to my assigned team. I agree to abide by all ALB rules and regulations. I agree to accept the sole, exclusive and final jurisdiction and authority of The American Legion National Appeals Board over any ruling(s), dispute(s), disagreement(s), or subject matter having to do with or having any impact or effect upon the ALB program, rules, tournaments, administration, or games and their ruling shall be final without any rights of appeals. In addition, their ruling shall be considered that of an arbitrator to which the parties agree is a final adjudication of all matters in controversy. Procedures for filing an appeal to the National Baseball Appeals Board are outlined in National Rule 10 of the American Legion Baseball Rule Book.. Voluntarily and of my own free will, I elect to participate in the ALB program and as a member of my ALB team.
