The following are the rules that are
proposed to be used:
•
Each batter get 3 swings. If
player fails to hit one fair
after 3 swings, then he uses the
Tee. There are no strikeouts
during regular season. In the
playoffs, the player gets 1
swing on the tee and if he does
not hit the ball in fair
territory, batter is out.
•
No player can play the same
position twice in same game. In
the playoffs, this rule will not
apply.
•
Coaches will be permitted on
field to help guide the defense
for first 2 weeks only. In Week
3, no coaches will be allowed on
field when game is on.
•
In order to stop play, an
infielder needs to have his hand
up. The Outfielder cannot run
the ball into the infield and
raise his hand; he needs to
throw the ball to an infielder
who can then stop play by
raising hand.
•
A runner needs to be 75% of the
way to the next base or needs to
return to the previous base once
fielder with the ball raises
hand.
•
A player can only advance ONE
base on an error if the ball is
out of play. If ball is in play
(i.e. in the outfield), the
runner may keep going.
•
The game will be played with a
maximum of 10 and a minimum 8
defensive players on the field
including a pitcher that MUST
have one foot on the mound
during batting.
•
Everybody bats in the line up.
There will be no substitutions
unless there is injury or an
Emergency.
•
There will be neither bunting
nor stealing.
•
There will be no infield fly
rule applicable.
•
Both teams need to bat the same
number of hitters in line-up.
Example: if Team 1 has 10
players and Team 2 has 9
players, Team 2 will bat an
extra player in every inning.
The same player cannot bat twice
in an inning more than once.
•
For the last batter in the
line-up, in order for the team
on defense to stop the play, the
ball needs to be thrown to
catcher from behind the "fair
ball" line. Only the pitcher is
allowed to back-up catcher and
make the play if ball gets past
catcher (i.e. pitcher can pick
it up, go to home late and raise
hand to end play).
•
When a team is batting, 1 hitter
is at the plate, 1 player on
deck and everyone else is
sitting on the bench.
•
No throwing bats. If player
throws his bat, he gets a
warning. If it happens again,
the player loses his next at
bat.
• If
a ground ball is hit to the
pitcher, he must throw to first
baseman to get the out rather
than run with the ball and touch
first base himself.
•
On last batter, if ball is
caught on the fly, batter is out
and other base runners can
advance to home only if they
tagged up.
•
Runners are able to tag up at
all other times
•
If a pitcher (coach) gets hit
with a live ball, the play goes
on.
•
No inning can start past 7:45pm
