(ie two RNLL teams playing at the Bombing Range fields) o Field prep instructions should be posted in the dugouts for reference. The league of where the game is being played is responsible for providing game balls o (GRLL when games are played on GRLL fields). o (RNLL when games are played on RNLL fields). The higher seed is responsible for Field prep . Instructions should be located in dugouts for field prep for visiting teams (GRLL teams playing at RNLL and vice versa) Official Book and Pitch count sheets will also be provided by the league where the game is being played and need to be turned in at the completion of each game. GRLL pitch count sheets and scorebook will be available at the concession stand RNLL pitch count sheets and scorebook will be available in the clubhouse Game Times All games begin at 5:30 PM Batting Cages GRLL Visiting team gets the cages from 4:15-4:45pm Home team gets the cages from 4:45-5:15pm Use batting cage # that corresponds to field number. Exception: Bombing Range Field 4 has two batting cages adjacent. Each team may utilize one of the two cages. Note: Batting cages at Bombing Range field 4 cannot be used during the game since they are adjoined to the field. RNLL Teams playing on Field 1 share batting cage 3 and 4 Teams playing on Field 2 share batting cage 1 and 2 Teams playing on Field 3 share batting cage 5 and 6 Note: Fields and batting cages are numbered. Claybell Fields have not batting cages. Playing Time: Majors - Every player on a team roster will participate in each game for a minimum of six (6) defensive outs and one at-bat. Triple A - Each player must play a minimum of six (6) defensive outs. Each player will bat the entire game (continuous batting order – see batting order) Batting Order Majors – nine player batting order will be used. Triple A – Continuous batting order will be used. 10 Run Rule: Majors and Triple A - The 10 run rule as detailed in the “The Green Book” will be in effect in all games for purposes of scoring. If at least four (4) innings have been completed and the visiting team is up by 10 or more runs or if after 3 ½ innings the home team is ahead by 10 or more runs the game shall be complete. Runs per inning Majors – no limit Triple A - A maximum of five (5) runs may be scored by either team, except for the “open” inning. There is no limit on the number of runs during the “open” inning. Innings per Game Majors – 6 inning game regardless of time. Triple A - games, the next inning to begin after one hour and forty-five minutes (1:45) has elapsed from the game start time (umpire will keep the official clock) will be declared the final “open” inning. By rule, an inning begins at the moment of the third out (or fifth run) by the home team. During the final inning, teams may score an unlimited number of runs (“open” inning). The game will conclude at the end of this final inning regardless of time (unless the home team is ahead, in which case the game will end after the visitors half inning). Extra innings Majors and Triple A – After 6 innings (or in Triple A the final “open” inning) have been played and the score remains tied, a tie- breaker will occur. The next batter in the order will come to the plate with a one ball, one strike count and one out. The player that was out last in the previous inning will be placed at second base as a runner. Each subsequent batter in the batting order will come to the plate with a one ball and one strike count. There is no limit to runs scored in each extra inning. The game will proceed until the score is not tied. Dropped third strike Majors - will play with the dropped third strike rule whereas a batter may run to first if the catcher drops the 3rd strike (when 1st base is unoccupied or there are two outs) according to the Green Book rules 6.05(b) and 6.09(b), Triple A – No dropped 3rd strikes. Batter is out on strikes and may not proceed to first. Slug Bunts No slug bunts allowed. If a player squares around to bunt and then takes a full swing, the batter will be called out and a dead ball is in effect. Runners shall return to the base they occupied prior to the pitch. General No batters allowed to be swinging on deck while another player is at bat. On deck batters will remain in dugout. Coaches cannot warm up pitchers. Player Substitution Rule The player agent will contact AA players who are interested in playing. The Player Agent will create a list of AA players by randomly drawing the names of those interested from a hat and assigning them a number corresponding to the order their names are drawn. The players will be referred to by that number throughout the tournament. At the time a coach needs replacement players he contacts the player agent and requests the number of players necessary to provide for the minimum number of players to start a game (nine). The selection process is numerical, for example if coach A request 3 players he gets players 1, 2, 3. If the next day coach B needs 2 players he gets players 4 and 5 and so on. If we exhaust the list we will start with player 1 again. If a replacement player chooses not to play in a game, he will be permanently scratched and the next player will be called. After each game, pool players return to the pool. It is important to note that if coach A needs players on Monday and again Wednesday those players may be different. According to the green book replacement players are not allowed to pitch and must play 9 consecutive outs and bat once. Replacements players are only assigned to teams that do not meet the minimum playing requirements (Rule 4.17, unable to field 9 to start the game). Once the game has commenced and an injury or sickness occurs causing either team to be unable to place nine (9) players on the field, the game shall NOT continue by Rule (4.17). Rule 4.17 in the Green Book allows for a Board decision in this situation regarding forfeiture, and we have pre-determined that making up a game is impractical and a forfeit is the only option. .

  • Guide to Softball Rules and Basics
    Guide to Softball Rules and Basics History Softball was created by George Hancock in Chicago in 1887. The game originated as an indoor variation of baseball and was eventually converted to an outdoor game. The popularity of softball has grown considerably, both at the recreational and competitive levels. In fact, not only is women’s fast pitch softball a popular high school and college sport, it was recognized as an Olympic sport in 1996. Object of the Game To score more runs than the opposing team. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Offense & Defense The primary objective of the offense is to score runs and avoid outs. The primary objective of the defense is to prevent runs and create outs. Offensive strategy A run is scored every time a base runner touches all four bases, in the sequence of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and home. To score a run, a batter must hit the ball into play and then run to circle the bases, counterclockwise. On offense, each time a player is at-bat, she attempts to get on base via hit or walk. A hit occurs when she hits the ball into the field of play and reaches 1st base before the defense throws the ball to the base, or gets an extra base (2nd, 3rd, or home) before being tagged out. A walk occurs when the pitcher throws four balls. It is rare that a hitter can round all the bases during her own at-bat; therefore, her strategy is often to get “on base” and advance during the next at-bat.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2
