No player may sit for more than TWO defensive innings consecutively, unless due to injury or disciplinary reasons. Any player sitting for disciplinary reasons will be deemed removed from the game and will be skipped when his turn comes up in the batting order. The "free substitution rule" is in effect. In the National league only, teams may play up to 10 players defensively but the batting order will be the entire game day roster. The 10 th defensive player must be an outfielder, where the outfielders are positions in an umbrella fashion (ie no short fielder / umpire judgment on questionable placements).

An incomplete (less than 4 ½ innings) will be restarted from the point at which the game was suspended. A tie game of greater than 4 ½ (or 5) innings shall be replayed from the point at which the game was suspended. In a suspended game of greater than 5 innings, if the visiting team ties or takes the lead in the top half of the inning, the home team must bat and the game taken to completion on another date. For the regular season, if the game remains tied after the allotted innings, an attempt to complete the game with extra innings should be attempted in the following manner: 1. One extra full inning of play 2. Use of International TieBreaker Rules for any inning afterwards (no outs, the last out from the previous inning is put on second base, the lineup resumes from that point. When either team is leading after the home team bats, the game is over) If it is difficult to complete the game due to darkness or weather, a game should be completed at a later date as stated in the constitution and in rare circumstances could end in a tie if both coaches agree to that conclusion. In the national and American league, a pitcher must be removed from pitching for the remainder of the game if he throws 6 walks in one game. That is, after 6 walks total, a national and American league pitcher must be removed. Also, if a pitcher hits 3 batters in one inning he must be removed from pitching for the remainder of the game for both american and national.
