Article III: Pitching Regulations**

1. **With Screen**: The screen must be in contact with the rubber, and the pitcher is required to toe the rubber. The pitcher is permitted to field pop-ups only. Contact by the pitcher with a ground ball or line drive shall result in a dead ball; all runners shall advance, and the batter shall proceed to first base.

2. **Without Screen**: The pitcher is allowed to field all batted balls and may position up to six (6) feet behind the first rubber. Wearing a protective mask is mandatory.

3. Pitchers are prohibited from executing a pump fake. The pitching motion must be smooth and continuous, with the ball presented back and forth.

4. **Pitcher/Screen Switch**: Teams are permitted to add or remove the screen once during the game. If the change occurs during an inning, it necessitates a pitching change. If prior to the start of an inning, the same pitcher may continue. This rule is limited to one (1) instance only.

Play Legal, Play Hard, Play NCS

Best of luck,
