                                                                                                                                                                     An illegal pitch is called immediately. It is a delayed dead ball and should be signaled by the umpire calling the illegal pitch and verbalized so a player could hear the call. The pitch is declared a ball and the batter is awarded first base if it becomes the 4th ball. Base runners are only advanced in the case of a force. If the pitch is hit then the coach will have the option of taking the results of the play or accepting the penalty.

                                 2018 Rule Changes                                                                                                                                                                       In an effort to improve the flow of the game and align with current trends of the sport, this change will allow intentional walks.  The rule can be found in the online rules:                                                                                   Rule 4.Sec.19. Intentional Walk:  The coach or catcher of the defensive team can make a request to the umpire for the batter to be intentionally walked to first base. Results in a dead ball.
 
                                                                                           
 
                                                                                         
Goals for creating a safe and fair competitive environment that results in a very family friendly atmosphere: Coaches and parents need to understand that there is a protocol in place for everything that happens on a softball field. Good sportsmanship needs to be modeled by coaching staff and fans. If an issue presents itself during a game, the most important priority is parents need to stay calm and let the coach sort everything out with the umpire(s). Unruly fans will result in the head coach being restricted to the dugout.  If unruly fan behavior continues, the head coach and the unruly fan(s) will be ejected from the park. If an umpire makes a mistake and it can be fixed (this does not include judgment calls), then we want to get it right. Coaches are intelligent and students of the game, umpires want to get it right. Fans need to let the coach respectfully approach the umpire, make the inquiry, get clarification on the ruling and move on with the game. If the umpire believes he needs help, he can call for the UIC and get a ruling. Umpires, parents, fans, and coaches all need to rebound quickly and be strong role models in front of all the children. 
 
                                                                                                                                                                                
 
2017 Rule changes

1) All teams may bat up to 12 batters in Pool Play and Tournament Play. A coach may use up to 3 Additional Players and or DP Flex or none. 8U may use up to 2 additional players, but cannot use DP Flex rule.  The Flex player must be listed in the last slot of the line up with Flex label beside player's name and number. DP player must have DP label beside their name and number on the presented line up.
 
 
                                                                                Rule 6. Players and Substitutes
Sec. 3. A team may use (3)Three Additional Players in the line up for POOL PLAY AND ELIMINATION PLAY.  The additional player(s) will be placed in the line up in the batting position she is to occupy. She can also be used on defense (only 9 defensive players in the field) but, must keep the same position in the batting order. The additional player if used must be selected prior to the start of the game, and her number must be included on the lineup card presented to the umpire. Failure to declare the use of the additional player(s) prior to the game precludes the use of an additional player(s) in that game. If a pinch-hitter or pinch runner is used, that player becomes the new additional player. The player who was the original additional player may re-enter like any other player under the re-entry rule. If the additional player is used, the position must be used the entire game. If an additional player must leave the game apply Sec. 2.

                                            A reminder of the 8U game time rule:
 
RULE 15. 6U AND 8U RULES

The game will consist of 5 innings or 55 minutes on the clock, finish the inning for pool play and tournament bracket play, with a (Run Rule) being declared if a team is ahead by 12 runs after 3 innings two and a half innings  if the home team is ahead, or 10 runs after 4 innings three and a half innings if the home team is ahead...
...F.

__Rule Changes and Amendments in effect

Rule 6. Sec. 2. If a team begins to play with the normal allowed number of players, that team may continue a game with one less player except in the case of player ejection. If a player has to leave the game with an injury the team may continue a game with one less player until that player is ready to re-enter the game. If the player leaving the game has successfully become a runner and the team does not have a legal substitute, then the last batted out may be entered as a runner in the place of the injured runner.  The new runner will remain in that player position until either she becomes out, crosses home plate, or the inning is completed. When the player who has left the game is scheduled to bat an out will be declared for each turn at bat until she is ready to return to the game.

Name Over Number - A players name will be taken over the number to identify a player in the lineup. If there is a mistake in the number listed on the lineup. It will be corrected and a warning will be issued. Read further in rules for the second offense.
