28)
Collision Avoidance Rule: This rule has been modified in the Pee Wee division to ensure the safety of the catcher and the base runner. The rule states: If a base runner is running to home plate and is halfway or closer to home plate, a force out situation is now created. The catcher, having possession of the ball, may touch home plate and the runner will be called “out” by the umpire.
29) Players are permitted to steal the next base when the catcher misses the ball. 30) Leading off the bases is permitted. 31) Advancing on a wild pitch is permitted. 32)
The infield fly rule is in effect. This rule results in the batter being called out when a pop fly is hit to the infield with runners on first and second, or first, second or third with less than two out. Runners may advance at own risk.
33) Runners may tag and run to the next base after a fly ball is caught at their own risk. 34)
If the catcher misses the ball on the third strike, the batter will be called out.
35) Intentional walks are NOT permitted. 36)
Balks by pitchers will result in one warning by the umpire. The next infraction will result in the runners being permitted to advance to the next base.
37)
Players must run on and off the field between innings.
38)
Players and Coaches are representing their respective schools as per the terms of their schools athletic contract. Players and Coaches must abide by the terms of these contracts. Unsportsmanlike conduct, foul language and smoking are NOT permitted.
39)
Teams will be ranked in the following order: a) Win/Loss record in all games b) Defensive runs allowed per inning played in all games Page 9 of 10
c) Offensive runs allowed per inning played in all games If you have any questions or concerns with respect to this tournament please contact:
