  • The team listed first or on the top of the bracket will occupy the first base dugout (unless a team remains on the same field from the preceding game, then that team will stay in the dugout currently occupied).

  • Rookie Division: “walk” (coach pitch) and “ball to the pitcher” rules in effect.

  • Run Rule: 7 per inning (a team may not score more than 7 runs in any one inning).

  • Run Rule for Rookies: 6 per inning.

  • Mercy Rule in effect after 4 innings (3 1/2 if the home team is ahead, or scores the necessary run in the bottom of the 4th inning): Majors - 8 runs; Minors - 10 runs; Mini Minors & Rookies - 12 runs.

  • Pitching Restrictions: 7 innings per 2 game set (1-2) (3-4) (5-6). There is no pitching limit restriction for the Championship games.

  • Pitching Restrictions for Rookies: 2 innings per game.

  • After each game, the home team is responsible for turning in lineup sheets with the game score and pitchers innings pitched (to the Tournament Director Table).

  • THERE ARE NO PROTESTS ALLOWED: The only two exceptions are: 1) Ineligible player; and 2) Excess number of innings pitched by a pitcher. These must be addressed to the Tournament Director or Field Director, and must be before the start of the next scheduled game.

  • Home team for pool-play and Championship games will be determined by a coin toss.

  • Home team for all other elimination games will be the higher seeded team.

  • Home team will be the official scorekeeper (visiting team should regularly compare score-book to ensure an accurate score is reported).

  • Courtesy Runners are encouraged! When you have two outs, please use a courtesy runner for your catcher and/or pitcher if either is on base. The courtesy runner shall be an available player who most recently completed her turn at bat (and is farthest from batting again in the inning).

  • Game time is very limited and everyone wants to play as much as possible. Please be observant of the time, and no stalling in between innings.

  • Saturday Pool Games will have a 1 hour 15 minute time limit (1 hour 10 minute for 8-Under).
    No new inning will start after time has expired, but the inning in which time expires will be completed (Note: if time expires and the home team is ahead, they will not take their turn at bat in the bottom of the inning). This is only on Saturday Pool Games! This is to prevent overlapping games. Please help get as many innings in as possible.

  • Saturday pool games can end in a tie. Teams will earn 10 points for a win, 5 points for a tie, and 0 points for a loss.

  • Sunday ranking will be determined by point standings from pool-play. In the event of a tie, the following tie-breakers will be used: 1) Head to Head, 2) Fewest Runs Allowed, 3) Coin Toss. If 3 or more teams are tied, the above procedure will be used until one team is eliminated or advanced, and then the remaining teams will repeat the procedure.

  • Sunday elimination games: No new inning may begin after 1 hour 25 minutes (1 hour 20 minutes for 8-Under). Ties will not be allowed, each game must have a winner. If at the end of regulation, or for the first full inning after time expires, the International tie-breaker will be in effect. No time limit for Championship games, but the run rules will be in effect.

Thank you for participating this year in our annual Sizzling Slam Tournament. We hope that you and your team enjoy this weekend. And please remember, we are doing this for OUR girls!


EQUIPMENT:
The League will provide a new ball for each game. We may ask for you to bring any new softballs which have not been used (they will be replaced if this happens). Please drop them off at the Tournament Director’s table.


TEAM RESPONSIBILITIES:
HOME TEAM: Home team is responsible for turning in the scores to the Tournament Director's table. You must provide the names and total innings pitched for each pitcher for that game.

DUGOUTS: Please make sure that all dugouts are completely cleaned out when leaving at the end of your game. Please be courteous to teams trying to exit.

FIELD PREP: Before each game, both teams are responsible for field prep. This includes, when needed, dragging the field, filling in any holes (pitcher mound, home plate, etc.), re-chalking batter’s box and field lines. Please work together!!! As Coaches and managers need time to prepare their team, this is a great opportunity for parents to help. Encourage family participation!

On the last game of the day, both teams are responsible for all field equipment, trash in and around dugouts, and scoreboard equipment (LCP). Please make sure all equipment is put away, and the field boxes are properly locked.


umpireUMPIRE ASSISTANCE:
Due to higher number of games being played this weekend; we may ask for your assistance in umpiring some of the 8U games. Please see the sign-up sheet at the tournament meeting. Please contact Brian Cherry if you are available to assist with this weekend's tournament.
