Rules and Standards
Rules
Batters: each team can bat up to 12 batters for pool and tournament games.
Unique rule to USGF: is the courtesy runner: A courtesy runner can be used at any time once per inning. A courtesy runner does not burn your sub. However, if your courtesy runner is on base and has to come up to bat she must take an out at-bat. So, be aware of where your courtesy runner is in the lineup.
The Official Game Time: begins at the flip and the plate umpire is the keeper of the time.
Pool Play Guidelines on One Day Tournaments: Time limit will be 55minutes, drop dead. The game can end in a tie. If seeding, in the case of a tie, both teams are awarded one-half (.5) a win and one-half (.5) a loss in the seeding stats. Most one-day tournaments will be warm-up games/ coaches draw into brackets. The home team is considered the official scorebook for each game. Parents/fans are welcome to keep scoreboards.
Tournament Play Guidelines on One Day Tournaments: Time limit will be 60 minutes, finish the inning. No drop dead. International tiebreaker rules apply for all elimination games if necessary. The home team is considered the official scorebook for each game. Parents/fans are welcome to keep scoreboards. If the park has a lights-out policy and we need to declare a winner. We will enter ITB to complete the game.
