Answer
Scott,

The simple way of finding out what ball is approved for tournament play is going straight to the source.  Go to the organization for a complete list of approved equipment.  If the ball is not on that list, don't use it.

For Little League, you can visit their website at www.littleleague.org, click on the "Tournament Resource Page 2008" at the top of the home page.  Scroll down to the very bottom of that page and click on the link regarding approved baseballs and softballs.

I hope this has helped.  Should you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
