Championship Game: 7:00

Two game guarantee; pool winners play a third game in the championship.

All pool play games are 6-innings (unless of inclement weather). No new inning will start after 1 hour and 35 minutes (every inning will be finished, no “hard” stops). Championship Game is 7-innings (unless of inclement weather).

Pool Play Winner(s)… If you go 2-0 in pool play, you win. Ties are allowed. No extra-innings in pool play (even if there’s time because we prefer to run ahead of schedule). If everyone goes 1-1, the tiebreaker rules are as follows:

*Fewest runs allowed in pool play (if 3 teams are tied, there is no head-to-head tiebreaker).

*Best run differential in pool play (cannot exceed +10 per game).

*If there’s still a tie re: run differential, each coach will choose one player/coach/parent and that person will throw 3 total pitches to 3 different players. Each player will get 1 pitch to hit. If they “take” a pitch because it was thrown poorly, it doesn’t matter (the coach should have picked someone better to throw). Whatever player hits the ball the farthest from home plate – their individual team wins and advances (even if the other two players on his team swung and missed at their pitches).

Run Rule: 12 after 3; 10 after 4; 8 after 5

Pitchers can only pitch a total of 4-inning on the day. Those 4-innings can be used in one or two games. No pitcher may pitch in 3 different games. One pitch in an inning constitutes a full inning pitched. Once a pitcher has pitched in a singular game, they may not re-enter that same game. No exceptions.
