Rules

 

Here are the NFC Senior BR rules

Local NFC game rules that are in addition to the Babe Ruth Rule Book:

- Courtesy runner for catcher & pitcher is allowed at any time and should be used with two outs. 
     - - The last non-pitcher / non-catcher out should be used as the runner
- All-bat line-ups are used, this means the batting lineup will included all players showing up for the game. 
     - - Batting order:  includes all players present and is fixed at beginning of game. 
     - - Latecomers are added at bottom of batting line-up as they arrive.
     - - Batting positions for players that leave early or are injured are skipped over (no penalty)
- Free substitution will be allowed between all players in field
       - - With 16 or fewer players present, all players will play a minimum of two innings in the field by the end of the fourth inning. 
       - - Exceptions permitted in cases of late arrival/early departure, injury, or discipline.)
- No new inning starts after 2 hours
       - - All games will be called after 2 hours and 15 minutes (drop dead)
- Games may be played with as few as 7 players per team, where open defensive positions may be filled using players from the other team.
- Teams may borrow players from other teams to avoid forfeits.
     - - Borrowing players:  The purpose of our program is to play, not to forfeit.  Borrowed players must be on the roster of a team in the League, cannot be used as a pitcher without consent of the players coach, and should not play more innings than players on the roster of the team doing the borrowing.
 

 

Other Guidelines:

No won-lost records, standings, or trophies.

Game balls: three provided by home team.  Home team in third base dugout.

 

 

 

Ejection by umpire:  Ejected player/coach/fan must leave the field area.  Ejected player/coach cannot participate in next game.  Report any ejections to League President.  Appeals about an ejection must be provided to the League President. 

 

Field maintenance:  (for NFC games) Both teams should prepare and clean up the field.  All teams clean up the dugout they used.

In the fall when field hockey equipment must be moved and repositioned, both teams should participate in moving the feild hockey equipment before and after the game.
