UPDATES TO RULES FOR 2024/2025 SEASON

• the pitcher's pivot foot could become airborne with one push from the pitcher's plate. However, pitchers would not be allowed to replant their pivot foot, resulting in pushing off from a second point and the pitcher being farther away from the pitcher's plate. (Located in Definitions) (9.4, 4) 
• With an in-game pitching change, the new pitcher must pitch to 3 batters or until the end of the inning/game, whichever comes first.  Injury to the pitcher, at the discretion of the umpire, may override this rule. (6.5, 2, d) 
• NCS will implement a $100 protest fee for fastpitch, at the discretion of the tournament director. (5.2) 
• All protests for an "illegal player" must be presented in real time and carry a $100 protest fee! 
• Illegal players will be ejected from the game, along with the head coach and will be issued a 7-0 forfeit.  The illegal player may not return to the event.  (Located in Definitions) (4.16 (h) (i) 
• 6.5, 5 (Ineligible players), instead of illegal players have changed…… 
• 6.6 Re-Entry 
• Ineligible players will be removed from the game and play continues. (Located in Definitions) Please study the ineligible player section of the rulebook, as we changed illegal in places to reflect "ineligible" and the penalties have been changed in places to "remove", rather than "eject" players.  NCS is placing a heavier weight on illegal players with ejection from event and 7-0 forfeit for the teams.
• Any tacky products may only be used by the offense.  No defensive player will be allowed to have a tacky substance in play.    (9.13, 1) 
• If in the umpire’s judgement the throw takes the fielder into contact with the runner, it is not considered obstruction and the play continues.  (8.10 Defensive Obstruction) 
• On DECK BATTER:  All on deck batters will occupy the circle behind the batter, regardless of dugout for safety. (Definitions) 

Rosters MUST be online no exceptions, players may appear on coaches’ side and not public view, all players will have a timestamp from when they were added to the roster.

Failure to have players listed online could cause your team to be protested, at which point all players not listed will become ineligible.
