Rule Amendments / 2025

[sixofdiamonds]

The following rules have been added or amended for 2025.

SLIDE OR SURRENDER / PLAY AT THE PLATE (ALL LEAGUES): Runners MUST make a serious attempt to avoid contact. Any blatant contact by the runner with the player covering home plate will result in an out call and possible game ejection. The ball/strike mat shall now be considered an extension of home plate. Touching the ball/strike mat will be considered the same as touching home plate.

FORFEITS: If a team forfeits a regularly scheduled, regular season game, for whatever reason, a 1/2 game loss will be added to the team’s loss column. If the forfeit occurs in the final week of the regular season, the 1/2 game loss will not only be added to Week 8 of that season, but be carried over to the following season. Should this happen, the offending team will start the next season with a 1/2 game loss in the loss column.
