Revised (2) 2012 Fall Ball Rules of Engagement

Unless otherwise stated, ASA Rules will apply.

Teams in two leagues have been formed. (Under 68 and 68 and Over) See the Mullins Email for teams and schedule. This information will also be posted on the storage shed door on Field 2.  The top listed player is considered to be the manager.

Games will be played at 9:00 am and 10:30 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Teams will play up to nine innings, managers agreeing and time permitting.  In the 9:30 game, no inning shall begin after 10:25. On Tuesdays, the Overs will play on Field 2 and the Unders on Field 1.  On Thursdays the leagues will switch fields.

Teams needing players must stay within their league age limits to use a substitute.  Any player may used as a substitute regardless of player rating.  When no players are available, non roster players within the league age limit may be used. If not enough players are available, if one team has more players than another, players may be lent to the other to even teams.

The one and one count will apply.  The courtesy foul will not be in play. Team scores will be kept, but will not be posted nor will team standings be compiled.

In the Overs League, no batter may be thrown out at first base from an outfielder.  In the Unders League, all batters must reach first base before a substitute runner may be used.

Whenever possible players on teams not playing are asked to umpire, otherwise the batting team will provide one or two umpires.

Fields will not be lined.  Infields will be dragged and the outfield grass will be cut . Any help maintaining the fields is encouraged.

The OTS weather line will be operative until the last set of games on the Fall Ball schedule.  Open practices will continue on Mondays at 9:00 am through October.

Winter Ball.  Winter Ball will start on Thursday November 1 at 10:00 am, weather permitting. Wind chill should be at least 45 degree or better.  Neither the porta johns and nor the OTS weather line will be available after October 31.
