All Leagues All TournamentsThese are the most common and/or most unique rules being used for this event. Please see "Official Rulebook" for exhaustive list of playing rules. When in conflict, rules written here shall supercede those in the official rulebook.
As a player, you are responsible for knowing all official rules of the game. By participating in the event, you are agreeing that you are aware of all rules associated with the league and the sport, and agree to abide by them at all times.
- Game 1 Starts at 7:00pm
- First 48 players max (4 total teams)
- 1 Pool Play game followed by single E tournament
- Tourney seeding based on run differential
- Batters start with 2-2 count and batters get one courtesy foul

- Players cannot be benched defensively more than 1 inning in each game before the start of the 6th inning
Players with a position guarantee will be indicated to the team coaches and are entitled to play the position they paid for. They still must follow defensive benching restrictions and may be benched for one inning of defensive play, subject to their coach's discretion, but will return to their position following their rest inning. Players may voluntarily sub themselves out of the position at any time for any reason, but should not be compelled to do so.
Players will also bat in the top half of the lineup, subject to their own discretion if they prefer to bat lower.
These are guidelines and rules for the event that all coaches must acknowledge and follow. Please review all rules carefully.
All decisions for your team come down to you and you alone. You should not invite other players to participate in rule discussions, or allow them to participate in debates over rule disagreements. As coaches, we will at times disagree and may even sometimes get testy with one another, but it is important that we keep these discussions to the back of the house and do not allow rule issues to spill over to the general players. Keep it fun for everyone and don't let the inmates run the asylum!
Win on the field, not in the rulebook.
Rules are made to be enforced, but in our game - things happen. Players get hurt, or they disappear, or they are late, etc. Please always be flexible in dealing with unusual situations. It is much more important to complete a game than it is to take a cheap, easy, rule-forced win. You don't need to put your team at a disadvantage, but at least allow the game to be interesting.
A little trash talk never hurt anyone, but don't be that person yelling "By You!" on every single play. If you see a player struggling, don't instruct your team to intentionally pick on them. Don't tell a player coming up to the plate that they should walk, because the person behind them can't hit (even if it's true). Play to win the game in a manner where you know all players from both teams will be happy to grab beers with their opponents when the dust settles.
The official rules for the sport, which may or may not be from a sanctioning body.
