St Anselm Playoffs 2008

Please be aware that these schedules may change because of exemptions or weather . You must check the individual schedules after each game to verify your next game . DON'T ASSUME - PLEASE CHECK

We have changed the rule regarding length of game to 2 hours. No inning may start 2 hours after the game began. An inning starts once the third out is made in the inning prior. Any inning taking place at the 2 hour mark will be finished.

No game can end in a tie. If darkness comes or weather causes the game to end and the game is tied, the game must be finished and should be reported immediately so that the continuation can be scheduled. If 2 hours comes and the game is tied, barring darkness, the game is to be continued.

If the game is stopped because of weather and the game is "official", the game is over. If the game is stopped because of weather and the game is not official, it will be treated as a suspended game and start from the point it was stopped. Before leaving the field, the managers must record in their scorebooks and agree on the time played, the score, the number of outs, the runners on base and the ball and strike count of the batter.

No arguing with the umpires will be tolerated. Discretionary calls are not to be objected to. Discussions regarding rules issues are to be done civilly. Managers are responsible for the actions of their players, coaches and parents. Only the manager should talk with umpires. Any unacceptable behavior will result in disciplinary action, including suspensions.

Pitching rules apply as in the regular season.

Coaches should have copy of rules with them and offer to let umpire read divisional rules before every game. No rules can be objected to unless the Manager has their rules available.
