5. Four (4) straight balls = 2 bases for the batter – batter behind has the option of taking their at bat or walking to 1 st base
6. No intentional walk
7. Ball bouncing over the fence is a ground rule double.
8. Homerun rules for both men and women
a. A hit over the fence = dead ball out and opposing team receives a run (for entire game including final inning) or immediately give the umpire a $20 mulligan ticket to have the result of the homerun stand.
9. Homerun and defensive mulligans rules:
a. Homerun mulligan rule: If a ball is hit over the fence, that team can have the result of the homerun stand instead of the regular homerun rules if they immediately provide the umpire a $20 mulligan ticket. This rule applies for the entire game including the final inning and the championship game.
b. Defensive mulligan rule: If the team on defense does not like the result of the play, the defensive team may immediately provide the umpire a $20 mulligan ticket to have the result of the play voided. The runners go back to where they were at the beginning of the play and the batter is up to bat again with a 3&2 count (1 pitch no bitch). You may not play a defensive mulligan to counter play and purchased homerun over the fence.
A defensive mulligan can only be used on 1 player per game. Once you have used that defensive mulligan on that individual you must move on to a different play on your next defensive mulligan.
All mulligans must be purchased prior to the at bat for homerun and defensive use. You may
not pay the umpire or stop the game for purchasing the mulligans. All mulligans must be
purchased from the designated mulligans. All mulligans must be purchased from the
designated “mulligan person” or given to you from another team. If you do not already have a
mulligan and the ball is hit over the fence, regular homerun rules apply. We will have separate
championship game mulligans. They will be sold just before the championship game. You may
still give your unused mulligans to another team still playing when your team is out, however
only championship game mulligans may be used during the championship game.
10. 10 run rule in effect after 5th inning
11. The umpires decision is final and there are no game appeals allowed
12. Must be 18 or older to play in the tournament games.
13. Pick up players are allowed only if you don’t have enough players to field a team. All pick up players must be on a roster, so they are covered under the insurance. You may not use a pick up player to fulfill an extended line up. No regular roster players may sit while a pick up player plays unless the regular roster player is injured
