Women's League Rules

  • Starting Date - May 18, 2009

  • Game Times - 6, 7, 8, and 9 p.m..  (Dependant on number of teams)

  • Fields Used - Memorial and Mill Parks

  • Home and Away - First team listed is the home team.

  • Run Rules - 10 Run rule after 5 innings, and 20 run rule after 3½.

  • Game Postponement - Most games will be postponed by umpire. If it has been raining all day and the Parks and Recreation Department feels it could pose a liability problem, it reserves the right to postpone a game. Please call the rainout number at 454-2900 ext. 3350 if the rain out page has not been updated.

  • Number of players participating in the game - We will use the rule in the book. If there is no person batting in the 10th batting position,  no out is recorded.

  • Number of players playing because of an injury - No outs will be taken in the event of an injury.

  • Ejection - Player ejected from game is followed by player suspension rule. Players who receive a game disqualification according to ASA/MSF guidelines will also receive a ten day suspension which begins the day following the incident. Suspended players are not allowed on park property during the suspension period. The suspended player's team will not be allowed to play if the suspended player is on park property and that game will also be forfeited if the suspended player does not leave immediately. Reinstatement: suspensions shall be immediate and remain in effect until such time that the suspended party and his team manager appear before the Parks and Recreation Sportsmanship and Eligibility committee.  

  • Number of games per season - 18

  • District or State fee - District and state tournament fees are prepaid. If you cannot play in the tournament once qualified, you will have to find a team to replace you to get your money back. If you do not qualify in the league due to many entrants into the tournament, your money will be refunded. There are no districts in Women's League, you automatically go to State.

  • Blood Rule - You will  need to carry an extra shirt and pants to accommodate the blood borne pathogen rule.

  • Time Limit - One hour game time limit. We will use the tie breaker rule if running late per game. Please hustle your players in and out of the field to keep the games on schedule. Tie breaker rule: The batter who made the last out will be put on second base to start an inning and three outs must occur. The same rule applies for the home team. At the end of that inning, a winner will be declared if a run  scores. If no runs score, the game will end in a tie with a  point going to each team.

  • Rain Make Up - will be played at the end of the season

  • WS2 Teams to move up to WS1 in 2009 - Top 1 teams in league. ( Kelly's)

 

We ask that you please pick up any cans that you may toss on the ground or cups used when drinking.  We do not want to have to enforce any drinking ordinances, so help out.  Do not sit and drink after 9:15 games as the police will ask people to leave the parks after those games.
