As a player, you are responsible for knowing all official rules of the game. By participating in the league, you are agreeing that you are aware of all rules associated with the league and the sport, and agree to abide by them at all times.

Golden Rule

This league is intended to be FUN and SOCIAL first. We welcome players of ALL SKILL LEVELS to our fields, and therefore set rules that ensure the safety and enjoyment of our skilled players and our novices equally.

Be supportive of one another. Fighting, excessive verbal abuse, and poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated. Event organizers reserve the rights to dismiss any player from the event without refund.

Games

Length: All games will run a full 7 innings or 55 minutes (whichever comes first), unless there is a run rule.

Run Rules: Games will be declared over by "run rule" if the winning team is ahead by 20 runs at the conclusion of the 3rd inning, 15 runs at the conclusion of the 4th inning, or 10 runs at the conclusion of the 5th inning or later.

Extra Innings: Games tied at the conclusion of the time limit will go into extra innings. During extra innings play, the batting team will have a runner automatically placed on second (must be the last out from the previous inning) and all batters will face a 3-ball, 2-strike pitch count when they approach the plate.

Home/Away: The coaches will meet the umpire at home plate ahead of the game, and the game timer will start. During pool play, the umpire will flip a coin to determine home team. During tourney play, the higher seed has the option of selecting home or away.

Umpires: Excessive arguing and/or abusive language will never be tolerated. Umpires may issue warnings and dismiss players from a game if they are found to be abusive. Event officials reserve the right to ban players from the event with no refund if abusive behavior continues.

Safety

Injury Exceptions: In the cases of injury, some rules may be bent to avoid placing players in harm's way. Coaches facing a situation that they believe requires an adjustment must discuss with the opposing coach a recommended solution. Opposing coach must approve the solution, and such approval should not be unreasonably withheld.

Injured Player / Can Not Continue: If a player is significantly injured in the course of play and cannot continue, they shall be removed from the lineup. When their batting position comes up, it shall be skipped and not counted as an automatic out. Player is unable to return to play for that game and, at a minimum, the game following.

Equipment

Metal Cleats: Metal cleats are prohibited. Please use soft or hard rubber cleats, or turf shoes only.

Equipment (Balls): Official WAKA 10" Rubber kickballs will be used for this event.

Coed Specific Rules

Legal Rosters: All teams have been drafted with a near-even number of women on their team, and rules are set based on this expectation. Should injuries or missing players create a roster imbalance, the tourney director shall be consulted on an appropriate course of balancing to allow teams to continue play.

Defense: A minimum of 2 female players must be on the defense at all times. If only one female is present on the field, she may not play catcher.

Walks: If a male batter is walked with a female batter coming up to bat, the male batter is awarded second base and the female batter is given the option to choose an automatic walk or to hit as normal. The decision to walk is up to the sole discretion of the batter and coaches shall not force a walk on any player who wishes to hit.

Offense

Legal Kicks:
All kicks must be made by foot and must occur at or behind home plate. All kicks must be made with a fully intentioned kick through the ball - bunting is not allowed. An umpire may call a ball foul if he deems the kick was an intended bunt.

Pitch Count: All batters start with a count of 1 ball and 1 strike. For extra innings or games quickened due to weather/scheduling issues, all batters start with a full count. There is one courtesy foul for kickers who kick a foul with two strikes, any additional fouls shall be called OUT.

Pinch Runners: One unrestricted runner, per gender each inning. Any additional runners required over the allotted one due to injury or runner request must be supplied as the last out who matches the gender of the runner being substituted, and opposing coach must be informed of this necessity. Runners have the right to reject a coaches' suggestion for a runner.

Defense

Pitching: All batters will start with a one ball, one strike count. The "strike zone" extends to 1 foot on either side of home plate, and 1 foot high. Pitches must be rolled underhand towards home plate.

Pitches may not be bounced, only rolled towards the kicker. Pitches that bounce more than one foot above the ground will be deemed a ball.

Pitches must be rolled at a REASONABLE pace. Umpires will call "fast" when pitches are coming in too fast and it will be an automatic ball. It is the umpire's discretion as to what will be considered too fast. The pitch speed rule is in place to ensure that our kickball leagues stay fun for everyone.
