Rules:
Rainouts: All towns will be notified by e-mail prior to 7:00am on the day of the scheduled game. We will try to announce rainouts on this website as well, but official word will come from e-mail notification. Rainouts will not be made up.
Little League rules apply except for the following:
1) All pitchers have a 4 inning limit per day.
2) All players must play 6 outs and have at least one at-bat per game.
3) Continuous batting order.
4) After 4 innings (or 3 1/2 innings if the home team is ahead), a 12-run mercy rule is in effect.
5) No slashing (faking a bunt, then swinging away). Batter will be out— dead ball.
6) No curve balls.
7) Players must slide or avoid contact.
8) There is a 2 hour maximum playing time per game. All games will start promptly at the scheduled time (8:00, 10:00, 12noon, 2:00, 4:00). All games shall end at 10 minutes before the next time slot. A batter shall be allowed to finish his at bat if he has been pitched to when the finish time has been reached. This rule is in effect regardless of the half inning or score.
9) Younger division plays 4 outfielders. Players can steal 2nd and 3rd base, but may not steal home.
10) Older division plays 3 outfielders. There is unlimited stealing.
11) Maximum 5 runs per inning. When a team at bat reaches the 5-run limit the inning is over. This rule does not apply to the final inning of the game.
