TEAM AND PLAYER
RANKINGS AND ELIGIBILITY
·
We
use AWS Rankings first and if not ranked with AWS we
will use the current year's Highest USSSA roster to determine what a player is
ranked for our tournaments. For example, if a player is currently on
"D" roster for their gender specific team but on a “C” roster for
their COED team, they will be ranked "C" for our event in all
divisions (the only exception would be if they started the year on
"D" COED team but were bumped by USSSA after June 1Also of note, if
there is a player NOT on a USSSA roster this season, we will revert to the
previous year/year's rankings. (Military, Black American, Native
American, and Senior rosters do not count against you in standard “D” & “E”
Men's, Women's, and COED divisions)
·
(AWS
PLAYER / TEAM RANKING LIST always supersedes USSSA Roster Rules, Team and Player Rankings) Check
our list before entering events Make sure you are legal
·
All Players must be
able to show a legal photo ID at all times (must be 18 years of age or older).
You must have your photo ID on yourself, in your bat bag, or on the
park/complex’s property. In some circumstances, we will allow a player to make
a run to their car in the parking lot but will not allow any travel or a wait
time of over 3 min or so.
·
Driver’s License is
what we use for determining Men's or Women's eligibility - If DL states male
or nonbinary, player is only allowed to play as a man for our events, If
DL states female, player is only allowed to play as a woman for our events etc.
BE PREPARED TO SHOW
YOUR ID AT ANY TIME! BE LEGAL FOR THE DIVISION YOU’RE PLAYING IN! WE WILL NOT
ACCEPT ANY CHEATING! YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT OF THE EVENT IF YOU’RE CAUGHT!
ILLEGAL TEAMS and/or PLAYERS AND TEAMS THAT GET EJECTED FROM OUR TOURNAMENTS

SANDBAGGING: If we find out
you are only an ASA, NSA, etc. team and you sandbag into a lower division, we
may decide to remove you from our event at any time. PLEASE PLAY IN THE
DIVISION EQUAL TO YOUR RANKING IN THE ASSOCIATION YOU PLAY IN REGULARLY. (i.e.,
if you are a "D" team in ASA, you should be playing "D" in
our AWS tournaments. If you feel you cannot compete at the same level, email for
re-class request)

REGULATION GAME
- Shall consist of seven innings,
or the end of the time limit, or the end of the innings advertised.
COIN FLIP
- In pool play there will always
be a coin flip to determine home team throughout the tournament until
playoffs or the championship game, at this point higher seed will have the
choice to be visitor or home team. If one of the teams is undefeated and
the other team has (1) loss or more, the undefeated team would get the
choice of home or visitor.
RUN SPOTTING (we do not run spot or mix divisions
at World Events)
- When a lower-level team plays a

will be given at the start of game and not per inning (typically 6 runs
per division we may choose more or less runs if director feel its
warranted)
- We do not allow teams that are
two or more divisions higher to play any of our E or REC teams
In most of our events,
we will not combine divisions. If we do combine divisions to get enough to have
a competitive tournament and we end up having more than 1 upper-level team,
they will play a separate playoff/championship game. If there ends up being
just 1 upper-level team in the tournament or 1 team in your division, the said
team may not be eligible for championships or awards and can only play in our
pool play portion of the event.
·
DETAILS:
·
If only 1 team is
entered in your division, you may only be allowed play in the pool play portion
of our event.
·
Teams of higher level
will spot lower teams runs in pool play - then play only other teams entered in
the same division for playoffs/championships -
If 3 or less rec teams are in a
division, you may have to play E teams the entire event and be spotted runs. If we get enough in each division, we will not mix divisions.
·

to start the game
- To add a player, they must
arrive before their turn in the lineup and be on roster. If you must play
shorthanded, no automatic out will be given
EXTRA HITTER(s) (E.H.)
- Teams can bat as many players
as there are on your roster but must finish the game with same amount you
start with or take an out for players who do not finish.
- The opposing team and umpire
must have the right to know how many you are batting.
COURTESY RUNNERS
- MENS AND WOMENS TEAMS – There is one courtesy runner allowed per inning.
This can be any player on the team roster, and it does not count as a
substitution move. If your courtesy runner is on base when it is their
time to hit, you would have to take an out UNLESS you have a sub on the
bench that can substitute in for the original batter that the courtesy
runner came in to run for. That would then remove the courtesy runner from
the bag without penalty and they could hit in their place in the lineup.
- COED TEAMS – We allow one courtesy runner per inning….
per gender…. Men must run for men and women must run for women. This can
be any player on the team roster, and it does not count as a substitution
move. If your courtesy runner is on base when it is their time to hit, you
would have to take an out UNLESS you have a sub of the same gender on
the bench that can substitute in for the original batter that the courtesy
runner came in to run for. That would then remove the courtesy runner from
the bag without penalty and they could hit in their place in the lineup.
COED SPECIFIC RULES
5-5
- Coed teams must play at least
equal number of women as men (4M/4W, 5M/5W, 6M/6W, etc.) but can play more
women than men. Never more men than women.
- Women will hit the small ball
PITCHING RULES
- The pitching area shall be the
area the width of the pitcher’s mound (usually 24 inches) up to six 6 feet
behind the back edge of the pitcher’s mound
- Pitchers must wear a protective
mask
- Before the first pitch, the
batter has automatic time out until he or she is set in the box
(1 pitch only)
- Pitchers have 5 seconds to
release the ball after presenting
- Pitchers may pitch from up to 6
feet behind the rubber but must come set before release
- Each at bat starts will be a 1
ball – 1 strike count with no extra fouls
- A strike zone will be used with
no mat
- The height restrictions will be
a minimum of 4 feet from the ground up to a maximum of 10 feet from the
ground
- Pumping/juking will be allowed
except in our REC division
- A caught foul ball on the 3rd
strike is a live ball. The play is not dead, and runners can try and

applied to the ball at any time

a pitcher relieves another pitcher, not more than one minute may be used
to deliver not more than (3) practice pitches to the catcher or some other
teammate.
PITCHER’S LEGAL
MOTIONS THAT ARE ALLOWED IN ACTUAL DELIVERY OF THE PITCH
- After assuming the pitching
position on the pitcher’s mound or in the pitching area, the pitcher must
present the ball in FRONT OF HIS BODY (for at least one second) in either
one or both hands before starting the delivery motions. (Note: All
pitching rules that apply to the pitcher’s actions before and during the
release of the pitch along with the restrictions on height, speed, etc.,
shall remain the same.)
- The pitcher may hold or grip
the ball in any manner before delivery.
- Only a definite underhand
motion is permitted in the delivery of the pitch.
- The pitcher may release the
pitched ball in any manner when delivering the pitch. This includes all
types of delivery.
- After the pitcher presents the
ball, he may make any windup or arm motions desired, either in front of
his body, above his head or behind his back, including stops and pauses in
these motions.
- The pitched ball must be
released within 5 seconds from the time the pitcher has the ball, and the
batter has taken his position in the batter’s box. From this point, the
umpire shall not give a call or signal for “time” unless something unusual
occurs.
- The pitcher must face home
plate on delivery of pitch.
- Realizing that the pitcher does
not fool very many batters to the extent that they cannot hit the ball, it
is desired that pitchers not be handicapped by technicalities, when they
do develop a new technique or delivery that, perhaps, will add to the pleasure
and appeal to the spectators if the pitcher adheres to the basic pitching
rules.
TYPE OF PITCH
PERMITTED
- The ball must be pitched in a
definite underhanded motion at slow speed.
- A pitched ball must have an arc
and be at least 4 feet off the ground and not rise higher than 10 feet off
the ground after leaving the pitcher’s hand and before it passes any part
of home plate.
- The speed of the pitch and
height of the pitched ball are left entirely to the judgment of the
umpire. Any doubtful pitch should be ruled as an unfairly delivered pitch.
The umpire shall warn a pitcher who delivers a pitch with excessive speed.
If the pitcher continues to deliver excessive speed pitches, this can lead
to the pitcher’s removal from the pitcher’s position for the remainder of
the game.
- A pitch that does not reach 4
feet as required (flat level pitch) may not be deemed an excessive speed
pitch but merely an unfairly delivered pitch.
- The catcher must remain in the
lines of the catcher’s box when the pitcher is in position and remain
there until a pitched ball has reached or passed home plate or is batted.
BASES
- Base distances of 70 ft are
standard (65 ft bases may be used at TD’s or parks discretion)
WALK RULES
- Men and Women's Divisions - one
base allowed on a walk
- COED Divisions - Men take two
bases and women take one base (when walking a male, the woman
hitting behind them has the option to take a walk every time (no
stealing))
BALL THROWN BY A
DEFENSIVE PLAYER
- If a ball thrown by a defensive
player inadvertently hits an offense player or a bat that is outside the
dugout, the closest runner to home plate is out (the on-deck batter and
bat are live and are not included in this scenario)
PLAYERS HIT WITH LIVE
BALLS OUTSIDE THE DUGOUT AREA
- If the defensive team has a
player or bat outside the dugout and they/it gets hit by thrown ball, the
ball is dead, and all runners advance one base.
- If the offensive team’s batter
or bat gets hit by a thrown ball, the closest runner to home plate is out.
ILLEGALLY BATTED BALL
- Occurs when a ball is hit fair
or foul when both feet of the batter are in contact with the ground
COMPLETELY outside the lines of the batter’s box, or when his foot is in
contact with home plate, or when the ball is batted with an illegal bat.
ILLEGALLY CAUGHT BALL
- Occurs when a fielder catches a
batted or thrown ball with a glove, a mask, a cap, or with any part of his
clothing detached from the proper position on the fielder’s body.
FAKE TAG
- Making the motions of a tag
without the ball. This may be considered obstruction and the offender may
be ejected.
FOUL TIP

directly from the bat not higher than the batter’s head (this is only an

divisions and a 10-0 game in the E and REC
divisions.
- BRACKET PLAY – Any forfeit in bracket play will be scored as a
7-0 game in all divisions

DISPUTES OR PROBLEMS
- Only managers can talk to the
umpire or the director regarding issues during a game. If a manager is
unsure on a ruling from the on-field umpire, please find the tournament
director immediately. Do not wait until the game ends because it will be
too late to possibly fix the situation. (Tournament Director’s
Decision is Final)
INJURED PLAYERS AND
SUBSTITUTES
- Player/substitute, manager,
coach, trainer, or other team member or umpire who is bleeding or who has
an open wound shall be prohibited from participating further in the game
until the bleeding is stopped and the wound covered.
- If treatment can be
administered in a reasonable amount of time, the individual would not have
to leave the game. The amount of time is determined by the umpire’s
judgment. If excessive time is involved, the re-entry rule would apply to
players.
- If there is an excessive amount
of blood on the uniform or if a bandage becomes blood soaked, in the
judgment of the umpire, the uniform/bandage must be changed before the
individual may participate.
- A player who exhibits signs,
symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion (such as loss of
consciousness, headache, dizziness, confusion, or balance problems), we
highly recommend the player and/or coach remove them from the game and
take them to the hospital.
INJURED PLAYERS COMING
OUT OF THE GAME
- If a player gets injured and
needs to come out of the game, their next at bat will be considered an out
and all subsequent at bats will be skipped with not out taken.

- When a player is ejected from
the game, all their subsequent at bats will be considered outs.
RE-ENTRY
- There is no penalty for
unannounced re-entry or substitutions.
IMPROPER RE-ENTRY
- The act of an improper re-entry
is handled as a protest by the offended team. Improper re-entry is a
violation after a pitch is made. Examples of improper re-entry are:
o
Starter who re-enters
in an incorrect batting position.
o
Starter who re-enters
a second time.
o
A substitute who
re-enters the game.
- If an improper re-entry is
discovered by the defense while the player is playing offensively, the
following penalties will be enforced:
- If the improper re-entry is
discovered while he is at bat, player is ejected, and a proper substitute
assumes any accumulated balls and strikes.
- If the improper re-entry is
discovered after he has completed his time at bat, but before a pitch has
been made to a succeeding batter, he is called out, and the player is
ejected from the game. All base runners, if they have advanced, must
return to the base occupied at the time the improper re-entry took a
position in the batter’s box.
- If the improper re-entry is
not discovered until a pitch is made to the next batter or the improper
re-entry enters as a substitute runner, the player is ejected. All play
that occurred while the improper re-entry was in the game will stand.
- If an improper re-entry is discovered
by the offense while the player is playing defensively, the following
penalties will be enforced:
- If the improper re-entry is
discovered after he makes a play on a fair-batted ball (catch or throw)
or a play on a foul fly ball before the next pitch, revert to the
previous pitch, the batter and each base runner are advanced one base.
The improper player is ejected. If the improper re-entry is discovered
after a pitch, which did not result in a batted ball on which the
improper player made a play, the improper player is ejected (this
includes the pitcher)

(1) player that you know is ranked higher than the allowable player matrix (i.e., a protest of a “C” player playing
illegally in the “E” division. You would point out the player in question. We
would ask for their ID and then check the player to see if they are legal or
not based on our rules)

them to see if they were counted as chip players based on our rules)

roster ID check to see if all players are listed on the roster that was turned
in before the first game (this is NOT an online player ranking protest) (i.e., a
protest to prove a player playing in the game is not on the roster that was
turned in prior to the first game. We would pull the roster and ask for all the
ID’s for the players on the opposing team to make sure they are all listed on
the roster)
RAIN OUTS AND OTHER
SIMILAR ACTS OF GOD
- Any rain out or similar Act of
God that causes us to have to cancel an event during tournament play will
result in a CREDIT based on the games played (i.e., If playing in a $400

will be handed out.

the bracket play portion of the tournament, awards will
be handled as follows:

Championship game, the awards will be given as 1 for the undefeated
team and 2 to the loser’s bracket team, etc.)
