Rule Modifications

1)       Each team will need a minimum of 7 players to start a game. If the game has started, a newly arrived player will be added to the end of the batting order as last batter.

 

2)    Any team may provide a batting order up to their full roster of players. However once the order is

       decided, changes are not permitted except as specified by NFHS Rules.

A)     Any player not able to perform, will be dropped from the batting order (not an out) and cannot  bat the remainder of the game.

B)      If a team uses a defined number of batters with planned batting substitutes; WIAA substitution rules apply for re-entry in the batting order.

C)      Pitchers and catchers are permitted to have courtesy runners. The last out prior to batter will be the runner. If the runner cannot preform then the next previous batting out will be the courtesy runner.

 

3)       Defensively, any player may enter the game at any time for any number of times and at any number of  positions. The defensive alignment has nothing to do with the batting order.

 

4)       For U10 & U12 only. Each inning is over after 3 outs or 8 runs are scored, whichever comes first.

 

5)       For U10 only. Outfielders must be positioned behind the base line at time of pitch.
