Game Play Rules

Games will be 6 innings and have a 40 minute time limit. No inning will start after 40 minutes of play.

Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine home team.

Regular season games can end in a tie. Playoff Games that are tied beyond the 40 minute mark will use California Rules for any new inning. Each team starts with a runner on 2nd base and one out.

Teams must have a minimum of 3 players, but no more than 5 total. Subs are allowed, but each team must stay within the 5 total player limit each day.

Players pitch to their teammates. Batters can receive up to three pitches. If the batter fails to put the ball in play on the third pitch he or she is automatically out.

Pitchers are to remain within the designated pitcher’s area.

If a batted ball strikes the pitcher, the hitter will be called out.

Defensively, teams must line up with 4 fielders and 1 catcher. Should a team only have 3 players, an Elite coach will serve as the catcher.

Regular baseball rules apply in the field with the exception of plays at home plate which will all be treated as a force out. A line will be marked past 3rd base and if the runner passes this line he has committed to home and the force out will apply.

Overthrows will be limited to 1 base.

No bunting, lead offs or stealing.

Baserunners cannot leave their bag until the ball is contacted by the batter. Each team will get 1 warning for a baserunner leaving early. After the warning, subsequent violations will be outs.

There will be a 5 run limit in any half inning.

If the next batter in the line-up remains on base, the team may choose to substitute him with a designated runner.

Rainouts will be made up during gaps in each team’s schedule. If we anticipate rain during the week, coaches may adjust the schedule to get as many games in as possible.

Unplayable field conditions

Should bad weather leave the infield dirt unplayable, coaches will move the games into the grass.

Playoff Seeding

Playoff seeding will be determined by Win/Loss record.

• Head to Head Record
