🎯 How You Win

•First team to 21 runs = instant win

•Or after 6 innings, highest score wins

Run Rule:

If a team is mathematically unreachable (example: up 11 after the 4th and opponent can’t tie), game over.
If the trailing team can still catch up, play continues.

This format mixes luck, skill, and nonstop adrenaline.

STRATEGY MATTERS 👇

👉 Visitors Advantage – LUCK MATTERS – BUT NOT AS MUCH AS IT SEAMS

Yes — going up to bat first is typically the move.

If you win the coin flip, take the sticks!

👉 Every Run is Gold

Race to 21 means no run is meaningless.

Momentum swings fast — defense still wins games.

EQUALIZER OPTIONS

When mixing SENIOR ages or levels:

•Major vs Major Plus

•Major vs AAA

•40’s vs 50’s

•E VS D ETC

The lower/older team picks ONE:

1- Extra fielder (10th man)

OR

2- Start every inning with a runner on 2nd

Simple. Fair. Keeps the game competitive.
