Section 3: The Field

ü  Dead ball line is 10’ from home plate

ü  Single line is 10’-50’

ü  Double line is 50’-70’

ü  Triple line is 70’ – to the fence

ü  Foul lines are 80’ from strike zone

Section 4: Reaching Base:

ü  4 balls is a walk

ü  Any ball that crosses the single line in fair territory is a single.

ü  Any bobbled fly ball or grounder that lands in the single territory is a single.

ü  Any ball that crosses the double line in fair territory is a double

ü  Any bobbled fly ball or grounder that lands in the double territory is a double.

ü  Any ball that crosses the triple line in fair territory is a triple.

ü  Any bobbled fly ball or grounder that lands in the triple territory is a triple.

ü  Any ball that goes over the fence in fair territory that does not hit the ground is home run

• If a ball hits a player and goes over the fence it is still a home run

Section 5: Making an out

ü  Any combination of 3 strikes (swing or foul ball) is an out

ü  When a batter is caught looking at a strike (it is an automatic out and the player can’t play the field the next inning.

• Caught looking is an out no matter what the count is (even if it’s on the first pitch)

ü  Field a ground ball cleanly it is an out

• You may bobble the ball but once it hits the ground no out is recorded.

ü  Catch a fly ball cleanly it is an out

• You may bobble the ball but once it hits the ground no out is recorded.

ü  3 outs per inning.

Section 6: Runners and Scoring

ü  We use ghost runners (teams are too keep track of where runners are)

ü  Ghost runners advance the number of bases that the batter hits.

• Example:  Runners at 1^st and 2^nd and batter doubles.  One runner scores and the other runner advances to third base.

ü  In the event that a fielder makes and error the batter/runner advances the number of bases in zone in which the error occurred.

• Example.  A fielder drops a grounder in the triple zone it’s a triple, all runners advance 3 bases.

Section 7:  The game

ü  Which ever happens first

ü  5 innings (team with most runs wins)

• If tied after 5 innings (the game is tied)

ü  30 minute time limit (can’t start a new inning after 30min)

ü  12 run slaughter rule after 3 innings

Section 8: Tournament Field

ü  Playoffs (Top 4 teams)

• With one division the top 4 teams advance to playoff seeding
• With two divisions the top 2 teams from each division advance.
  • In the event of a tie for a playoff spot the most runs scored by each team will be a tie breaking method (obviously the most runs scored wins the tie)
  • If total runs are a tie then a coin toss will be conducted, away team calls it.
