Tournament rules clarifications (V1.1 Sept. 11/09)
Clarification of Tournament Rules (V1.1 September 11, 2009)
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.

2009 Tournament Rules
Team Captain's are responsible for ensuring the integrity of the playing rule guidelines in a sportsmanlike manner, in the spirit of Fun, Fitness, and Fellowship!! All regular season rules apply in conjunction with the following:
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
All games are 60min. or 7 innings, which ever comes first. Do not begin the last inning unless there is at least 5min. left., and, if started, the inning is permitted to complete.
All games must start at the pre-designated start time. The 60min. limit begins at the designated start time.
Games are on unless it is decided and communicated by your league directors. You must be prepared to field a team or risk default.
Teams must start a game with at least 8 players and at least 2 of them must be female (if only 2 of 8 are female, auto out at top of line up rule in effect, if less than 8 players available and/or less than 2 females, then team forfeit 7-0).
Final scores must be entered immediately after the game in the control centre (gazebo).
3 points awarded for a win. 1 point awarded for a tie. 0 Points for a loss.
Tie-breakers to be determined by: 1. Tournament Head-To-Head Results 2. Difference in Runs For and Runs Against; 3. Total Runs For; 4. Higher ranked team in final season standings.
UMPIRES:
A Home Plate Umpire and Field Umpire must be present at pre-delegated games. Captains are responsible for ensure umpire allocations.
Home Plate Umpire is responsible for: fair/foul calls, play at home, dead ball, infield fly, crossing commit line, and play at third base.
Home Plate Umpire must also monitor the 60 minute play clock.
Field Umpire is responsible for play at first base, second base, and outfield.
All decisions made by the Umpires during the game will remain final.
In the event Umpires are not present, the pitcher will resume judgment call responsibilities.
INFIELD:
INFIELD FLY RULE: The batter is out if he/she hits an infield fly and there are less than 2 outs and runners are on first and second or on first, second and third. An infield fly is a fair ball which can be caught with ordinary effort by an infielder.
Only a position player at 1st, 2nd, shortstop, or 3rd base can throw a live ball to first base in an effort to get the batter out (ie. Outfield or rover can't field the ball and throw to get the batter out on their way to first. Once the batter has touched first and is rounding the bag, any fielder can make a throw to first base.)
Dead Ball Zone clarification:
If the ball comes to a complete stop before reaching the line drawn to the left and the right of the pitcher's mound, then the ball is considered dead and the hit by the batter counts as one of their 3 or 5 respective swings per at bat
If the ball is still in motion and it is fielded within the dead ball zone prior to it coming to a complete stop, then the ball is live, the batter can run to first and the runners may attempt to advance.
If the ball comes to a stop in the groove in the infield that was created to make the dead ball zone, then the ball is live and the runners and batters may advance.
OUTFIELD:
Outfielders must stay at least 10 paces behind the infield bases before the ball is hit (cones to be placed down the left and right field line at each diamond 10 paces behind 1st and 3rd base)
A pop fly caught in foul territory is an out. There is NO Out of Play rule from the outfield fence to home plate. Foul balls that are hit beyond a park's fence line are out of play. If field conditions require an adjustment to the NO Out of Play Rule (ie. the field is wet, or other safety issues with obstacles (i.e. parking lots)), this rule can be reviewed by the team captains and the umpires prior to any game.
One base is awarded on an overthrow to first, third, or home if the ball goes past the screen, if the ball hits the screen it is still in play and the runners can advance (regardless of where the ball was thrown from or when the ball is thrown).
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
All games are 60min. or 7 innings, which ever comes first. Do not begin the last inning unless there is at least 5min. left., and, if started, the inning is permitted to complete.
