ALL coaches and parents have been sent the rules.

The rules we will play under are RBI rules, https://rbitournaments.com/travel-teams. The only exceptions are the following.

Additional rules.

1. Everyone is in the batting order unless injured and unable to play.

2. No player can EH more than 1 inning for the first 5 innings of the game. This means a player must play in the field 4 of the first 5 innings. If the game reaches the 6th inning or beyond then it is the coach's decision who plays where. Parents every player will play but where they play is up to the coach. If you want input, then volunteer to be an assistant coach. Every position is important, and we are not trying to make sure that every player gets to play a certain position. The coaches have a tough enough job juggling all of this without dealing with that drama. Anyone creating that kind of trouble will be immediately removed from the team. There is the possibility that weird circumstances could occur that makes rotating impossible if so let the site director know before you do it wrong.

PENALTY

If a player is found to have set out 2 innings in the first 5 the team will be charged an out their next time at bat. If this happens in the last inning because of time the other team will be given an extra out.

Pitching Rules

Each team has 3 pool games. Players are limited to 3 innings of pitching during pool play and 6 innings total for the tournament.

If a team is required to play more than 5 games, each pitcher is given 1 additional inning for each game over 5. Remember if you touch the mound it counts as an inning.
