1) Home team at first games played in A and B pool provide bases and those bases stay at the diamond all day (Generals at Diamond 4, x86ers at Diamond 2, UnderDogs at Diamond 3, and Hard Hitters at Riseborough Park)
2) Umpire schedules are posted on the website and in the note above. Please ensure that if your team needs to supply an umpire for the first game of the day, the player(s) are there 10-15 mins before first pitch (ie. 7:45am for A pool games, 9am for B pool games)
3) Foul balls that travel outside of the fence line at any park (outfield or fences in front of the benches) are out of play. Umpires must call out of play once the ball goes outside of any fence line. Note: The required 8 votes were received.
4) Cones are to be set up at each diamond 23 paces behind the first and 3rd bases on the foul lines. All outfielders must remain behind the cone line (ie. following a parallel curve of the infield from one cone to the other) until contact is made with the bat.
5) Outfielder's can not directly throw a runner out at first if they have not reached the base yet. If the runner attempts to advance to 2nd base and tries to safely return to first base, an outfielder can make a direct throw to get the runner out of first base.
6) An outfielder can relay a throw to 2b, ss, or 3b, and then that player can throw the ball to the first baseman to record an out
7) If the home team is leading after the top of the 7th inning, the game is over (the home team does not bat to add to their run total in the bottom of the 7th).
Any infielder can cover home plate when a ball is thrown home. There is no rule preventing the 1st or 3rd baseman from covering home in the event that the ball gets away from the catcher and someone else needs to cover the plate to record an out.
