The league will be governed by the
Sporting News Rule Book with the following exceptions:
RULES
- Home team is listed first on
RMSB Network schedule.
- Game length will be 7 innings or no new inning at 1
hour and 45 minutes. In the
event there is a tie after 7 complete innings and game time has not
expired, we will use the International Tiebreaker for
1 inning
to break the tie.
If daylight permits, the last game of the day
may continue as many innings as necessary to break the tie.
- 9 run rule after 5 innings.
- 4 innings constitutes a complete game when delayed
or called because of inclement weather.
- Pitchers are allowed to pitch 7 innings in one day (please keep
in mind how much they have pitched during the week in any other games).
- You can re-enter the starting pitcher one time whether he has been taken out of
the starting line up or not.
- Unlimited Defensive substitutions. Your defensive
lineup is non-related to your batting order. A player may play
defensively even if they are not in the batting lineup.
- Batting Order: There is no limit to the number of
players you have in the batting lineup. A team must bat a minimum of 9
players. We encourage all teams to allow all players to be in the
batting lineup.
- Batting Order Re-entry Rule: Starters may only
re-enter one time and in the same spot in the batting order.
- Home team will be official scorer unless otherwise
designated by RMSB official. Put starting time in the book.
- We will enforce an avoid contact or must slide rule at
all bases. Malicious contact-runner will be ejected.
It is the discretion of the umpire if the runner is trying to avoid contact or a
collision.
- A must slide rule will be in effect when an infielder is attempting to turn a
double-play at second base. This rule is for the protection of the
base runner. The runner will be called out only if his not
sliding affects the defensive play.
- Keep your team hustling on and off the field. We need to keep the games on
schedule. Eliminate defensive huddles prior to your team taking the field in
between innings.
- Please have a Catcher available to warm up your
Pitcher between innings when your Catcher is not ready.
- Pitchers - Maximum of 8 warm-up pitches between
innings.
- Many fields have portable
mounds. Pitchers are not allowed to wear metal cleats on the portable
mounds. They must wear rubber-molded cleats or turf shoes.
- Teams are not allowed to play music between innings
at complexes where there is more than one game going on. Teams are
allowed to play music between innings only at fields where there are
no other games taking place. The purpose of this rule is to show
respect for the other games going on.
- No infield before games. Get teams in the dugout
and have your teams ready to play on time.
- No speed up rules. Every player needs to learn to run the bases
- There are no restrictions on the size of
bats or metal
cleats.
- End of game – Remove garbage from dugout and clear
dugout in a timely manner. Hold post game discussions outside of the
dugout in order for the next team to come in and get organized to
play.
- Show respect to the umpires, your opponents and most of all to this great game.
- Have a Great and FUN Fall League!!!
Weather is always a factor this time of year. Please keep in mind teams that are traveling great distances, be courteous enough to let them know if your
home field may be unplayable. If games are called off they will be called off one
game at a time, rather than backing them up the entire day.
