we will be charged and YOU will pay the entire cost!
NOTE:
IF it rains during the day and there is doubt about cancelling, you

want us on the wet diamonds.
There are several bats declared ineligible
by Slo-Pitch Ontario, and which rules will be used in our
league. Please click on the link above to get a list of these
bats.
The umpires will NOT
be checking for Illegal Bats before the games, it is your job to make
sure that no one uses them. However, if a batter comes to bat
and assumes his position in the batter's box, and is detected using an
illegal bat, he will be called out, and he along with the Team
Coach/Rep will be ejected from the game. If the Umpire does not
detect it and a member of the other team does, and issues a protest
about the bat, the same thing will happen if it is illegal.
Make sure you know the rules and
the illegal bats!
Remember
as well, as was the case last year, that you can BAT EVERYONE that is
there, on your roster, up to 17 players, or you can use a lesser
amount and leave other players to be substituted in later in the game.
As well, any players showing up
late, can be inserted at the bottom of the lineup at any time, but
must be announced to the umpire! ReEntry rule will be in effect for
substitutes, make sure you know it!
You are allowed to start a game
with 8 players, and make note that as soon as you have 8 players, the
game will start on time, and subsequent members can be added, as they
arrive and inserted in the game at any time, at the bottom of the
order!
Profanity will not be accepted to
any degree and calls for ejection.
In the league, a warning will be
given regarding jewellery, and once the warning is given, any
subsequent violation will call for ejection from the game. Make
sure any players with Medical Alert jewellery bring this to the
umpires' attention when they come to bat.
Beware that there will be
stricter rules regarding batters making contact with the ball, with
either foot out of the batters box, and that both feet must be in the
Batters' Box to begin with. When the batters' box becomes rubbed
out, the umpire will still rule with his own discretion, and have been
instructed to be strict on this ruling. YOU ARE WARNED
Mercy
Rule is still 12 runs after 7 innings.
Losing team must have batted equal times, so this means that if the
visiting team goes up 12+ runs, in the 7th, 8th or 9th inning, the
Home team still gets to bat in the bottom of that inning!
