Rules

All Instructional Playoff Games will consist of 5 innings.

An inning will be concluded when either 3 outs are made or a team has scored 5 runs, whichever comes first. The exception to the 5-run rule will be the 5th and last inning where there is no limit. A 10-run rule will be in effect after the 3rd inning. (e.g. in the 4th inning, after the trailing team bats, if the team is losing by 10 runs or more, the game is over)

Each player will get a maximum of 5swings to hit. After 5 swings, the batter will be out.

Extra bases can be taken, at the runner’s risk, or 1 additional base on an overthrow. Runs will be tracked to determine the game winner.

The championship game will be determined as follows. The two teams with the most wins during the round robin tournament will play in the championship game. Any ties will be broken as follows:

  • Total runs scored during the tournament (1st)
  • Total runs scored against during the tournament (2nd)
  • If still no winner, the two tied teams will play a single game on Wed to determine the seeding.
