Rules

1. This season will be Coach’s Pitch for the 1st half of the season. Coaches will pitch up to 5 pitches per batter. If the batter fails to put the ball in play after 3 swinging strikes or 5 pitches, it is considered a strikeout, unless the 5th pitch or last swing is a foul ball. The at-bat will continue until the batter either puts the ball in play or fails to make contact. If a batted ball hits the coach, the ball is dead and that pitch is not counted as one of the 5 pitches. The child playing the pitchers position must have one foot in the circle when the ball crosses the plate. 

2. Each team fields 10 players, but all players bat. A game can be played with a minimum of 8 players.

3. If a team has players missing, they are allowed to pick up a limit of 2 other players off a minor league team. A team may not fill their roster beyond 10 players. 

4. If you need to pick up more than 2 players from other minor league teams to fill your roster to 8, then the game will be forfeited but still played for fun.

5. Free substitution is allowed; coaches are allowed in the outfield to help coach defensive players

6. Games are 6 innings. If a game is tied after 6 innings, one extra inning will be played. If the game is still tied after the extra inning, the game will end in a tie. This does not apply to tournament play. 

7. If – at the end of a season – there is a tie for season champion, the champion (and tournament seeding) will be determined by:

   1. The win/loss record (example: 7 wins-2 losses-1 tie would win over a 7 wins-3 losses)

   2. Head to head (better winning % on head to head games wins)

   3. Total runs given up head to head (fewest runs on head to head games wins)

   4. Total runs given up for the season (fewest runs given up wins)

   5. Total runs scored in the season (most runs scored wins)

   6. Coin flip

8. No stealing will be allowed when the coach is pitching.  

9. Runners are allowed 1 base on an overthrow when a play is attempted at a base.

10. No bunting or delayed steals will be allowed.

11. Maximum of 5 runs/inning will be enforced, except for the last inning where there will be no run limit.

12. Game time is a maximum of 1.5 hours during the week when school is in session – no inning can start after that time. Otherwise game time will be 2 hours (Saturdays & after school is out)

13. During the tournament there is no time limit, 6 innings or run rule will be in effect.

14. Otherwise noted, Little League rules will apply.

15. Home team of the first game preps the field for the night (lines and drags the field).

16. Home team of each game is responsible for someone (preferably an adult) to run the scoreboard.

17. Home team of the last game must put the scoreboard equipment away.

18. All teams are responsible for raking the base paths after each game and after practices.

19. Both teams are to pick up trash along the fence row after each game

20. The second game will start 15 minutes after the first game ends.

21. In case of rain-out, a game will be considered official only if 4 complete innings have been played. 

22. Baseball bat requirements: may not be any longer than 33 inches and 2 5/8 inches in diameter. They must have the USA stamp on it. A player caught in the batter’s box with an illegal bat will be called out. A player that is proven to have used an illegal bat will be called out. 

23. A play will be considered complete and stopped when the ball reaches the pitcher in the pitcher's circle. If caught, the play is stopped when the pitcher has possession of the ball. If the pitcher misses the catch, the play is still over at the moment the player could have made the catch or the overthrown ball passes the pitcher. At the moment play is stopped, any runner not more than halfway to the next base must return to the previous base.
