Rules for
Saline Summer Slam 2009
- We will follow little league rules with the following
exceptions.
- Mercy rule: 15 after 3, 10 after 4, 8 after 5. All games will be 6 innings in length (7 for
14U)
1 hour and 45 minute time limit
for all games except the Championship. No new inning will
begin after the 1 hour and 45 minute time limit.
PITCHING: There is a limit on the number of innings
pitched as follows:
Maximum 3 innings per game (4 innings
for 14U) and 6 innings per day by any pitcher
A pitcher recording more than 4 innings
in a day is not allowed to pitch the following day.
No pitcher may pitch more than 8
innings throughout the entire tournament under any circumstances
Each out recorded counts as 1/3 inning
Pitching cards must be completed,
signed, and turned into the field manager following each game.
--
Balks: each pitcher will receive one warning 11U and up. After that, regular
balk rules are in effect. For 10U and under a balk is just a warning.
BATTING
This is an all bat, free substitution
tournament. Each team is required to bat
their entire line up (up to 14 players. If a team has more then 14 players
substitutions can be used but once a non-starter is removed, they cannot
return. A starter can return one time in
the same order in the batting line-up).
Players may enter the game defensively at any position at any time
during the game except the pitcher position.
Once a pitcher has pitched in a game, he/she is no longer allowed to
re-enter at the pitcher position.
*
For 8U, which is coach pitch, the batter
will be allowed a maximum of 6 pitches.
If the ball is not put in play by or during the 6th pitch the
batter will be declared out. If the batter hits a ball that then hits the coach
pitching, the ball will be live and play continues.
BASERUNNING:
Lead-offs and stealing are allowed for
10U and up. Stealing is allowed (once
pitch leave pitchers hand) without lead offs for 9U. No stealing or leadoffs
for 8U. Courtesy runners are allowed for the pitcher or catcher with two outs.
For 8U there is no stealing of home, for 9U and 10U there is one steal per
inning of home allowed, and for 11U and up it is unlimited.
The dropped third strike rule is in
effect for 11U and up. For 10U and below
a dropped third strike the batter is out but the ball is live.
* For 8U, the umpire has the
discretion to call time. In addition,
once the ball is thrown back to the pitcher (or within a specified radius of
the pitchers mound), the ball will be declared dead. Any base-runners must return to the previous
base at this time.
