| NOTES: |
| 1.
In all divisions except TB-2, a manager may
borrow pool players if he / she has less than nine for the game. The manager must go through the division VP
to use pool players. |
| |
2.
If after 4 innings of play (5 innings in
Junior/Senior Leagues), one team has a lead of ten runs or more the manager
with the least runs must concede. If
the visiting team has a lead of ten or more runs, the home team must bat in
its half of the inning. Each game,
subject to the time limits in Local Rule V.5, will be played a minimum of
four (4) complete innings (The Home team will always bat last).
|
| |
| 3.
In TB-1, a runner cannot advance to the next base
unless the pitched ball physically touches the backstop. In ML-2 and TB-1, a runner cannot advance
home on a wild pitch, passed ball, or throwing error to score the final (max)
run of the inning. |
| |
| 4.
When the trailing team cannot catch up to the
leading team because it cannot score enough runs as allowed by the max-run
rules, the trailing team must concede victory to the leading team. However, it must be a regulation game. |
| |
| 5.
No new inning may begin after 10:00 pm, and the
game must stop at 10:30 pm. |
| |
| 6.
No new inning shall start after two hours (2:00)
from the beginning of the game unless the score
of the game is tied at that point. If the score is tied at the end of the
seventh inning or after two hours, the game shall be continued into extra
innings—weather and daylight permitting—until a winner is determined |
| |
| 7.
There are no time limits for Majors games. |
| |
| 8.
When the fourth or fifth inning starts after one
hour and thirty minutes (1:30), the UiC shall notify both managers that the
new inning will be the “final regulation inning” and declare that the maximum
runs which may be scored by either team in the inning (and all subsequent
innings if the score is tied) will be increased (NOTE: The third inning may
NOT be a “final regulation inning” because at the end of the third inning the
game is not yet regulation.) |
| |
| 9.
All TB-2 games are 3 innings in length. No won/loss records will be kept. |
