Tournament rules for this weekend’s tournament can be found at this link: Tournament Rules
New coaches should read them before this weekend so they aren’t surprised. We’ll be glad to talk anyone about anything they might be confused with. For 10U All-Stars and 12U All-Stars, we are adding a couple of provision. First both age groups, one half inning will consist of 3 outs or 7 runs. Seven runs is the max score per inning no matter what. If a team cannot possibly win and time has expired, the game will be over.
Second and only in 10u, there will be no dropped third strike. A dropped third strike will be an out. Also in 10u All Stars, a coach pitcher will come in after a total of 3 walks or hit batters in a half inning. The batter will be given 3 swings or 5 pitches. If the 3rd strike is fouled off, the batter can receive another pitch if she has pitches remaining. The fifth pitch must either be put in play or the batter is out.
