Playoff Fall Ball Rules These rules are enforced for all divisions for post-season play unless specifically stated otherwise. Post-season rules apply ONLY in the post-season tournament. View division rules for specific rule exceptions. Playoff Format - All teams from all divisions will play in a modified double elimination post- season tournament. Once the final two teams are determined, the tournament becomes single elimination. Seeds will be determined by the place in which each team took in the regular season. Home Team - The home team is always the higher seed except when a higher seed has entered the winner's bracket from the loser's bracket. Borrowed Players - Borrowed players are not allowed in post-season play. Each post- season game must begin and end with at least eight (8) players per team. A forfeit will be entered for a team that cannot field at least eight (8) players. In the case that both teams cannot field eight (8) players, both teams will forfeit with the higher seeded team advancing, unless a make up game can be scheduled prior to the next round. Time Limits - There are no time limits for post-season play. Each game will be completed unless the Mercy Rule applies. Weather/Darkness Delays - Any post-season game that has started and cannot be completed due to weather, darkness or curfew will be suspended and resumed at a later date. Pitching - Pitching will reset at the start of each division's tournament. Pitching will reset every seven (7) calendar days. For example, if the tournament begins on a Tuesday, pitching will reset the following Tuesday and any subsequent Tuesdays. Stealing - The regular season stealing rule regarding no stealing after a ten (10) run lead shall not apply in the post-season. Extra Innings and Tie Games - There are no tie games in the post-season. All post- season games are played to conclusion using regular extra innings, if necessary..
