Tulsa National Little League Granted Temporary Restraining Order to Play in Tournament
Judge Ryan Luna granted a temporary restraining order after Little League ruled a player ineligible and forfeited Tulsa National’s earlier win.
- On Monday, Aug. 10, 2026, Little League International removed Tulsa National from the Southwest Region baseball tournament in Waco, Texas, ruling one player ineligible shortly before the championship game.
- Little League officials cited residency and school enrollment rules requiring players to live or attend school within league boundaries. This marks the second Tulsa National team disqualified in less than three weeks.
- Protests from an Oklahoma City Little League board member and a Texas manager prompted the investigation. The decision erased the team's 3-2 victory over Louisiana on Sunday, which had secured their regional final spot.
- Monday's elimination semifinal between Texas West and Louisiana became the championship game. The winner advances to the Little League World Series, which begins Aug. 19 in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
- Historical precedent exists: Little League stripped Chicago Little League's Jackie Robinson West of its 2015 titles for boundary violations. Following Tulsa National's 2025 Softball World Series finish, parents and administrators had raised roster compliance concerns.
