  • Players must be 18 or older by January 1st of the current year to be eligible.

2) Lineups

  • A lineup card will be provided before each game.
  • Complete the card and turn it in to the umpire before your first batter steps up.
  • List each player’s first initial, last name, and jersey number.

3) Game Times

  • 7:00 PM games: 10-minute grace period. Your team must have at least 8 players to start (co-ed: 4 females, 4 males).
  • Please do not arrive late as the grace period will not extend the actual game time.

4) Number of Players

  • Minimum of 8 players to start the game (co-ed: 4 females, 4 males).
  • You can add late players if their turn to bat hasn’t come up, but you must take an out for the missing player.
  • Teams can bat up to 15 players in Men’s leagues and 14 players in Co-ed leagues.

5) Co-ed Rules

  • You must have either 4 girls & 4 guys, 5 girls & 3 guys, or 3 girls & 5 guys to start a game.
  • If playing with an uneven ratio (e.g., 5 girls & 3 guys), take an out for the positions without players until they arrive.
  • Outfielders must remain on or behind the Co-ed line until contact is made with the ball.
  • Infield: 3 girls and 3 guys, Outfield: 2 girls and 2 guys.

6) Player Pickup

  • No “player pickups” unless you’re adding the player to your official roster.
  • You may not play for more than one team in the same league.

7) Courtesy Runners

  • One courtesy runner per inning.
  • The courtesy runner must be the last player out or someone not in the game.
  • Co-ed leagues: You can pinch-run for 1 girl and 1 guy per inning (use a male runner for a male and a female runner for a female).

8) Roster Protest

  • Roster protests must be made before the final pitch of the game.
  • To protest, call “time” before the last pitch and inform the umpire of the suspected ineligible player.
  • A $25 protest fee is required. If the player is not on the roster, your fee will be refunded, and the game will be forfeited. If the player is eligible, you will lose the fee, and the game will continue.

9) Uniforms

  • All teams must have matching jerseys with visible player numbers.
  • Teams not meeting this requirement by Game 3 will forfeit until they are in compliance.

10) Pitching Screens

  • Pitching screens are mandatory for all teams—NO exceptions.
  • The screen should cover at least half of the pitching rubber and be placed 2-4 feet in front of it.
  • If the ball contacts the screen:
    • 1st contact = dead ball, foul ball.
    • 2nd contact = out.
    • If no fouls are left, the 1st screen contact results in an out.

11) Code of Conduct

  • No alcohol or smoking on the field.
  • Profanity (e.g., the F-word) will result in automatic ejection.
  • No fighting—police will be notified if necessary.
  • Respect all players, coaches, officials, and fans.
  • Clean up your dugout after each game.
