Game Start & End Times:
Game 1 starts at 5:45pm
A team is required to forfeit (automatic loss) if they cannot field 8 players by 6pm.
If both teams cannot field 8 players, the game will count as a loss for both.
For early games, if the game has not reached the seventh inning by 7pm, the umpire will announce to both teams at the start of the inning that it will be the last inning.

Game 2 starts at 7:10pm
A team is required to forfeit (automatic loss) if they cannot field 8 players by 7:25pm.
If both teams cannot field 8 players, the game will count as a loss for both.
For late games, we will attempt to play all seven innings (light permitting).
On nights when there are league devotions, Game 2 start time is at the conclusion of the devotion, and end time will be 1 hr, 15 min after the first pitch. 7:25pm forfeit deadline still applies.

Run Limits
There is a six run limit per inning, with the exception of the last inning (which has no limit).

Batting/Fielding
Only ten fielders are allowed to be on the field at any time, but all twelve players will bat.
A game will not be allowed to begin until a team fields at least eight players.
In each at bat, all batters will begin with a 0-0 count.
In each at bat, the second foul ball after the second strike call is an automatic out.
In an effort to speed up play, there will be no warm ups allowed after the first inning.

Safety
Absolutely NO fake tags!!
Absolutely NO collisions!! You MUST avoid contact on any close play by sliding, stopping and getting tagged, etc.
Absolutely NO blocking home plate!! The runner will be called SAFE if home is blocked on a close play. Catchers must position themselves in FRONT of home plate.
While you are in the field (especially if you are catching), if there is not going to be a play on a runner, please get out of his way!!

General

If your team has less than ten players during the regular season, then guest players may be added to bring your team total to TEN players. NO guest players are allowed during playoffs.
If there are any problems/issues please address them to your team captain. If necessary, the captain will then bring them to the attention of the league commissioner.
Any fighting will result in immediate expulsion from the league.
