The Official Rules of the Wiffle Ball Bonanza The Official Rules of the Wiffle Ball Bonanza Written by: Zachary Freeman (Director) & Trusted Friends 07/09/2013 Modified: 06/30/2015 *Throughout this set of rules the WIFFLE® Ball Bonanza will be referenced as the WBB 1 Section 1: The Basics 1) The WBB is a double elimination, one-day tournament. 2) Each team must consist of eight (8) to twelve (12) players. 3) Teams that are not registered beforehand will be formed by the “Luck of the Draw” – player draft. 4) Teams that are formed by “Luck of the Draw” must submit an appropriate team name before the opening ceremonies take place. 5) Once all teams are formed, the names of each team will be placed appropriately on the tournament bracket. Playing spots are determined the night before the tournament. Drafted teams are not required to play in first round/play-in games. Section 2: Starting the Game 1) Each team will select one (1) Captain to represent his/her team. 2) Batting line-ups must consist of at least five (5) players; remaining players must be listed on the roster/bench/depth-chart. Bench players are permitted to pinch-hit, but must stay in the line-up for the player he/or she substituted for. Line-ups will be submitted to the official scorekeeper before the coin toss. 3) Bench players are permitted to play the field at any time during the game. 4) A coin toss will determine the home and away teams. The older of the two captains will make the call in the air. 5) Once home and away teams are determined, play can begin. 6) Each game is three (3) innings. 7) Extra innings: one (1) normal extra inning will take place if a game is tied after three (3) innings of play. If a winner is not determined after four (4) innings, the 5th inning will start with one (1) out and bases loaded. If a winner is not determined after five (5) innings of play, a timed, human-wheelbarrow race will determine a winner of the game. Section 3: Defensive Alignment 1) Only five (5) defensive players are permitted to take the field, one (1) pitcher and four (4) additional defenders. 2) The four (4) additional defenders can align themselves wherever they would like on the field. Section 4: Balls and Strikes (the Count), the K- Zone, and Outs 1) For pace-of-play purposes, each batter will start his/her at bat with one (1) strike against him/her. 2) Balls and Strikes are determined by the K-Zone (22 X 24 piece of sheet metal directly behind home plate). If a pitch hits the K-Zone’s sheet metal, it is a strike. 2 3) If a batter has two (2) strikes against him/her and foul tips a ball into the K-Zone, a strikeout is recorded for the pitcher and the batter is out. 4) Four (4) balls equal a walk. 5) If a pitch hits the batter, the pitch is recorded as a ball. 6) There are three (3) outs per half inning 7) A PLAYER CAUGHT LEANING INTO THE STRIKE ZONE WILL HAVE A STRIKE CALLED AGAINST HIM/HER, NO WARNINGS. Section 5: Pitching (Games Pitched) 1) A player cannot pitch in three (3) consecutive games. For instance if a player starts in two (2) consecutive games, or enters as a reliever in both of those games, he/she is not permitted to pitch in his/her team’s next game. Section 6: Pace of Play * Due to a large number of teams and limited time, steps must be taken to increase pace of play. 1) Only six (6) runs can be scored per each team’s at bats during an inning. 2) Teams can score additional runs by ending their at bats with a home run. For example, if a team has already scored five (5) runs and the batter hits a home run with two (2) runners on base, the team would be awarded seven (7) runs for that inning. 3) The ten (10) runs after two (2) full innings of play rule is in effect when a team is down by ten (10) or more runs after two (2) full innings of play. This rule is similar to Little League Baseball’s ten (10) runs after four (4) innings of play rule. The game will end immediately after the 2nd inning if a team is trailing by ten (10) or more runs at the time. Section 7: Pitcher’s Mound Poison 1) The pitcher’s mound serves only as a force out at 1st base. Balls fielded by defenders can be returned to the pitcher (with his/her foot on the pitching rubber) before the batter reaches 1st base to record an out. 2) Fielders can also use the pitcher’s mound to record an out at first base (i.e. 2nd baseman fields ball cleanly and touches the pitcher’s mound before batter reaches 1st base). 3) If a fly ball is returned to the pitcher’s mound before a player tags up at 1st base, pitcher’s mound poison is in effect and both the batter and runner will be ruled out. 4) A player must have his/her foot on the pitching rubber for pitcher’s mound poison to apply. In addition, maintaining control of the ball while in and touching the ball directly to the rubber will be recorded as an out. Using other extremities, such as the other hand, elbow or leg, will not count as an out. 3 Section 8: Recording an out with the K-Zone at Home 1) The K-Zone, in addition to determining balls and strikes, can also be used to record an out at home. If a ball is fielded, and the runner who started the play at 3rd base has left the bag with the intent to score (momentum is taking him/her towards home plate), the ball can be thrown at the K-Zone to record an out at home. Once the ball hits the K-Zone, the play is dead and runners cannot advance. If the ball misses the K-Zone, play continues. 2) This rule applies to runners who are tagging up from 3rd base. It also applies to a bases loaded situation…if the K-Zone is hit before the runner on 3rd reaches home in a bases loaded situation, the runner on third will be recorded out and PLAY WILL STOP. 3) If the pitcher/defender records the force-out using “Pitcher’s Mound Poison” with bases loaded, the runner at third can advance at his/her own risk. If the runner commits to home and the ball is thrown off the K-Zone before the runner reaches the plate, he or she will be called out. Section 9: The Peg Rule 1) The Peg Rule (hitting a runner with the ball at a reasonable speed to record an out) is always in effect. The only exception is for batters trying to advance from home to 1st base. Runners in between first and home cannot be pegged; however, they can be tagged. 2) Hitting a runner above the shoulders (neck and head area) will automatically award the runner the base he/she was running towards. *If a player is sliding, this rule does not apply. Section 10: Double Plays 1) Double plays are hard to come by in the WBB; however, they are possible. Players must remember that pitcher’s mound poison only acts as a force out at 1st base. Therefore, once an out is recorded using pitcher’s mound poison, force-outs do not apply other bags and all other base runners must be pegged/tagged. The K-Zone can also be used to record an out at home (Sec. 8 Rule 1). Section 11: Bunting 1) Bunting is only allowed to advance a runner(s). The batter is automatically out and runners can advance at their own risk. Section 12: Leading off/Stealing/Sliding 1) There is no leading off or stealing in the WBB. A base runner can leave the base once the batter has made contact with the ball. Warnings will be issued to those caught leading off. 4 If those warnings are not abided by, an out will be issued to the base runner(s) committing the act. 2) All forms of sliding are permitted in the WBB. Section 13: Base Running/Interference 1) The most common incidence of interference occurs when a member of the offensive team physically hinders the defensive team, decreasing its chances to make an out or increasing the chance that a base runner will advance. Whenever this offensive interference occurs, the ball becomes dead. If a batter or base runner committed the interference, that player is called out and all other runners must return to the bases they occupied at the time of the interference. All interference calls are made and ruled by the umpire(s). 2) If a batted ball directly hits a base runner between bases, the runner is ruled out, the play is dead, and the batter is awarded a base hit. 3) A base runner(s) must stay within a reasonable line of the base pad if a defender is trying to record the said runner(s) out (umpire’s judgment). An out will be issued to the runner exceeding a reasonable distance (i.e. 4 feet wide). Section 14: Equipment 1) All batters must use the official bat of the WBB: Louisville Slugger, Black, Authentic Replica of the Genuine C271 Big League Pro Stock Bat.

  • Suggestions for Improving Pace of Play
    SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING PACE OF PLAY 1 SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING PACE OF PLAY ON THE TEE Be early for your tee time. Proper pace of play begins with teeing off at the appointed time. Allow time for unloading your equipment, putting on your golf shoes, any desired practice or warm-up, purchasing any refreshments and driving your cart to the first tee. Play the right course for your ability level: Choose a set of tees with a rating of your handicap index. Or just tee it forward (Apply Legends Rule.) Establish a position on the course. If your round begins on a par 4, wait until the group ahead of you has gotten to the green before teeing off. If your round begins on a par 5, wait until the group ahead of you has hit their second shot and moved toward the green. On subsequent holes when waiting on the tee for the group in front to clear the fairway, don't be so strict about order of play. Let the short hitter - who can't reach the group ahead anyway - go ahead and hit. PLAY READY GOLF— Pick your line of play once and trust yourself. Hit when ready and safe regardless of who has the honors. Try to take no more than one practice swing, then set up to the ball and play your shot. Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Take 30 seconds, maximum, to hit your shot. Pay attention to your partners' drives. If they lose sight of the ball, you can help direct them to it and avoid any searching.

  • Report of the Ncaa Baseball Rules Committee July 17-19, 2019 Annual Meeting
    REPORT OF THE NCAA BASEBALL RULES COMMITTEE JULY 17-19, 2019 ANNUAL MEETING ACTION ITEMS. 1. Legislative items. • None. 2. Nonlegislative items. The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee approved the following rules change proposals for the 2020 season. Although it is a non-rules change year, the committee requests approval from the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) for the following items since one is health and safety related and the other is regarding a proposed rule change from 2018-19 to improve the overall image of the game: a. Protective equipment (Rule 1.15.d). (1) Recommendation. To require that all catcher’s chest protectors must bear the manufacturer’s certification indicating satisfaction of NOCSAE and SEI testing standards to protect against commotio cordis. (2) Effective date. Immediately. (3) Rationale. Commotio cordis though rare, is a typically fatal condition caused by the impact of a high velocity object (e.g. thrown or hit baseball) to the anterior chest causing cardiac arrest and death. Newly developed performance standards for the NOCSAE and SEI certification testing standards for baseball chest protectors can mitigate or eliminate the risk of this preventable condition. (4) Estimated budget impact. $65-100. (5) Student-athlete impact. None. b. Twenty-second action rule (Appendix F). (1) Recommendation. To require, a 20-second action rule be administered when runners are on base. The time limit would be kept on the field base a base umpire in the same manner the current 20-second pitch clock is administers with no runners on base. (2) Effective date. Immediately. (3) Rationale. Consistent with other sports (e.g., football and basketball), baseball benefits from having action rules to speed up pace of the game.

A number of issues are compounding the problem, such as technological advancements, length of golf courses, players’ individual needs, and contemporary changes in the value placed on leisure time. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the topic in Upstate New York. Surveys were sent to 167 golf course PGA professionals, asking about pace of play at their courses. The survey collected basic information about the professionals’ courses and moved to items regarding what the courses are doing and not doing concerning pace of play. Results suggest pace of play is a problem many courses have yet to address but beyond a pace of play policy, other factors can be effective.

  • Pace of Play Policy
    Optimist Junior Golf Program PACE OF PLAY POLICY Definition of “Out of Position” The first group to start will be considered out of position if, at any time during the round, the group is behind their allotted time. Any following group will be considered out of position if it (a) is taking more than the allotted time to play and (b) reaches the tee of a par 3 hole and the hole is clear, fails to clear the tee of a par 4 hole before the preceding group clears the putting green or arrives at the teeing ground of a par 5 hole when the preceding group is on the putting green. Both (a) and (b) must apply for a group to be out of position. Group Notification Groups WILL BE NOTIFIED when they are out of position and given an opportunity to regain their position. If a ruling or some other legitimate delay occurs which causes a group in question to lose its position, that group is expected to regain its position in a reasonable time [within two holes]. If a group fails to regain their position, they will be notified and subject to being timed. Timing A group may be monitored or timed for compliance with this pace of play guideline if it is “out of position.” When a group is “out of position” a player in the group is expected to play any stroke within 40 seconds. Other than on the putting green, the timing of a player’s stroke will begin when he has had a reasonable opportunity to reach his ball, it is his turn to play and he can play without interference or distraction.

  • Time Between Pitches: Cause of Long Games? by David W
    Time Between Pitches: Cause of Long Games? By David W. Smith Presented June 29, 2019 SABR49, San Diego, California The length of the average game continues to be a major topic for MLB and the baseball press as it has been above three hours for several years. Many factors have been suggested to account for the longer games and I addressed several of these last year by looking at patterns over the past 110 seasons (https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/SmithD/WhyDoGamesTakeSoLong.pdf). The two strongest connections I found were increases in the number of strikeouts and the overall number of pitches. One possibility that has received a great deal of attention is the time between pitches and in fact MLB has considered instituting a 20-second clock with the bases empty although that has not been implemented. At last year’s SABR convention, Eliza Richardson Malone presented the results of her study of 31 starting pitchers in 2017. Although her data set was limited, her conclusion was clear, namely that she found very few pitch intervals exceeding 20 seconds. Therefore the proposal to force pitchers to throw within 20 seconds would not have a significant impact on game length. With the help of Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM), I have the precise time down to the second that each pitch was thrown in every game in 2018 with the exceptions of the two games played in Puerto Rico and the three in Mexico. Therefore I had 717,410 pitches to study. By the way, that works out to just under 148 pitches per team per game.

  • THIRD GRADE RULES* *These Rules Are Not Meant to Be Exhaustive
    THIRD GRADE RULES* *These rules are not meant to be exhaustive. Any situation not covered herein will be ruled by the umpire(s) in accordance with Little League Baseball's Official Rulebook. 1. Competitive Principles: This program is devoted primarily to developing skills, but the transition to competition can now impact how the coaches manage the game. Coaches can engineer fielding rotations, subject to the rules below, to have the most skilled players at key positions. As kid pitch innings increase for 3rd graders, coaches will need to permit less-skilled players the opportunity to pitch (see Section 4). Coaches shall not make winning a game their sole goal, as it is more important to develop the players and have them enjoy their experience. As noted in 7.d. below, standings will be maintained throughout the season. The top two teams in the standings after the game prior to Super Saturday will play in a Championship Game. 2. Fielding: a. Number of Fielders: No more than ten players in the field per inning. b. Location of Fielders: There may not be a pitcher’s helper when a kid is pitching, and there shall be one pitchers’ helper when a coach is pitching. There may not be more than one catcher, 1st baseman, 2nd baseman, shortstop and 3rd baseman in the infield (i.e., no player stationed ON 2nd base, no outfielder starts a play within 15 feet of any base path). There may be up to four outfielders at relatively equal depth (i.e., leftfield, left center, right center, and right field).
