Preferred way – Email: dbowers4@cogeco.ca

CANCELLED GAMES:

1. When reason is WEATHER, HOME TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE!!
2. For any other reason, the team canceling the game is responsible!

FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE TAKEN when canceling a game!

(1) Call Umpires (See above)

(2) Call Opposing team #1 Contact,

(3) Call/Email Don Bowers, so he can reschedule the game & cancel the Park

(4) NOTE: If cancelling for any reason other than weather, it must be done 48 hours in advance of the game, or you will forfeit the game!

**CHECK CONDITION OF PARKS HOTLINE - (905) 688-5601 Ext. 1534

NOTE: IF it rains during the day and there is doubt about cancelling, you must call Field Conditions “Hotline” and find out if the Parks Board have cancelled the diamonds.

Sometimes, they cancel games because they don’t want us on the wet diamonds.

NRSPL RULES CURRENT RULES set out in S.P.O.A. Rulebook apply in all Divisions with the following exceptions! IMPORTANT: RULE in ALL Divisions à “FORCE PLAY @ HOME” ALL Divisions will use the Commitment Line at home (See SPOA rulebook). Defensive player at home can touch the runner, between the lines, or touch home as a force play! The rule will be as it reads in the Rulebook! Any contact between runners and Defensive player(s) at home may result in ejections! UMPIRES: Before the games starts, BOTH teams must pay the Umpires $25.00 in CASH, and give the umpire a NEW ball. Must be done BEFORE THE GAME! Official ball is Worth Yellow SPO12CY! Only ball that umps will accept! All Divisions use a 2 Man system! In the event of inclement weather, you will be refunded the money in full IF three (3) complete innings have NOT been played. IF 3 complete innings have been played, the umpires will keep the money. As far as submitting results of any Game, a game will be declared OFFICIAL after 5 complete innings, or 4.5 IF the Home team is ahead. BATTING ORDER: Your Batting order in our league is unlimited, from a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 17! You can bat everyone on your bench, or bat less than 17 and substitute for any player that is in the starting lineup, with someone that is not in the starting lineup! The minimum number of players to start a game is eight! IF a team starts with 8 or 9 players, the 8^th and 9^th spots in the batting order are NOT automatic outs! If a team starts a game with 8 players and the team drops below 8 because of injury or ejection of player(s), the game is forfeited! The game is not considered a forfeit (see further rules regarding forfeits below) if it has started and ends because of this, so both teams are still responsible for paying an umpire and no refund is in order! ALSO IF a 9^th –or- 10^th player shows up after a game has started, he can be inserted at the bottom of the batting lineup and into the field as soon as he shows up, even if the team has gone through the batting order already! IF a team starts a game with 10 or more players, and a player shows up late, he can be put at the bottom of the order ONLY IF the team has not gone through the Batting order. Once the leadoff batter goes to bat for the 2^nd time, the player cannot be added to the bottom of the lineup, and can be added only as a substitution for a player in the starting lineup! IF a team starts with 9 or 10 players, and someone leaves or an injury occurs, the spot in the batting order becomes an AUTOMATIC OUT! IF a team starts with 11 or more players, and someone leaves or is injured, the spot(s) do NOT become automatic outs until you drop below 10! FORFEITS: If a team forfeits a game because of lack of players, or does not show up for a scheduled game, this team is responsible for PAYING BOTH UMPIRES ($50.00), either right at the park, when it happens, or it must be paid BEFORE the teams’ next scheduled game! If not paid at the game when it happens, or in days before the next game, the umpires for your next game will be looking for the money for the forfeit, + the money for that game! The opposing team will receive 2 pts for a forfeit win! There will be fines levied to teams that forfeit more than 2 games during the season! Teams with more than 2 forfeits are subject to folding the franchise! OFFICIAL SCOREKEEPER: The Home Team will always be the Official scorekeeper, so if there is any discrepancy in the score between the 2 teams, the umpire will always go by the Home Team’s score. It is very important therefore, that the scorekeepers of each team check with each other on a regular basis. (I.e. EVERY inning) and if there is a discrepancy, the umpire will resolve the problem then! As the case is, in tournaments, the Home team in each game is decided by the flip of a coin before every game. COURTESY RUNNERS: This is in exception to the S.P.O.A. Rulebook! Each team is permitted a maximum of 5 Courtesy Runners in a game. Courtesy runners may be anyone on your roster, whether they are in the batting order, or not! They must be announced to the umpire as they are used. (I.e.: “Courtesy Runner #3 Mr. Umpire”. Teams are also permitted to have ONE player who will get a ‘free’ runner every time he gets on base, and is NOT charged AS ONE OF YOUR OTHER 5 Courtesy runners. This shall be known as the “Man Rule”, in tribute to one of the slowest runners that ever played in the league! This player must be identified to the Home Plate umpire, as soon as he gets on base for the 1^st time! “Mr. Umpire, this player will be the “Man Rule” runner!” IT cannot change later in the game! CURFEWS: No inning will start after 80 minutes have elapsed from the start of the 1^st game! The 2^nd & 3^rd games are timed from the 1^st pitch of the game! The main cause of curfews is teams not hustling on and off the field, so please encourage your players to hustle and avoid the curfews! 10 Minutes GRACE PERIOD is allowed from the scheduled start time for a team to field 8 players! As soon as a team has 8 players, the game will start. There is no grace period for any team waiting for their 9^th or 10^th players, the game must start! *EJECTIONS: REMEMBER THIS!! Anyone that is ejected from a game for a minor offence must sit out the remainder of that game, and the teams’ next scheduled game as well! All ejections will be reported to the Umpire-in-Chief, who will advise the League Executive and the umpire(s) of this teams’ next scheduled game! IF player(s) ejected for rough play, fighting, excessive verbal abuse of an umpire, or physical abuse of an umpire, they will be suspended indefinitely, until the league has held a hearing. These offences will not be condoned and players can expect lengthy suspensions for such action! BEWARE, that if a player is ejected in the 1^st half of a scheduled Doubleheader for your team, he automatically sits out the 2^nd game, as his suspension! EXTRA INNINGS: If a game is tied after 9 innings, and the curfew has NOT been reached, the teams will play ONE extra inning to break the tie. In the extra inning, the last scheduled batter of the previous inning will start at 2^nd base, and no more than this one extra inning can be played. TIED games will count in the standings as one point, if they happen! GROUND RULES at McCaffery Park: The edge of Stone path will be the out-of-play line in right field of Dia#2 and leftfield on Dia#1! The fence that extends down the opposite sides of these diamonds is the out-of-play line. Diamonds #3 & #4 have fences down both lines for out-of-play line(s)! JEWELLERY RULE: ONE WARNING will be given to each team, not each player! The second infraction will be an automatic out, as per Slo-Pitch Ontario rules. If a player has been warned or called out and doesn’t remove the jewellery, the player is removed from the game. Beware, in tournaments, there is NO warning. MERCY RULE: 12 Runs/7 Innings Visiting team ahead by 12 runs after 7 or 8 complete innings! Home team ahead by 12 runes ANYTIME after Visiting team has batted 7 times, and the game is over IMMEDIATELY! EG: Home Team goes up by 12+ in the bottom of the 7^th –or- 8^TH inning, with none out, and GAME OVER RIGHT AWAY! PITCHING: Umpires will be enforcing the arc at ALL times, very strictly! Umpires are told If in Doubt, Illegal Pitch. The umpires will force the pitcher to pause before delivering each pitch. There is an imaginary rectangle box, that extends 10 feet back of the rubber, and the pitcher can stand anywhere, as long as one foot is in contact with this box! The pitcher is allowed only ONE step back or forward with the delivery of the pitch. If he takes more than on step, an ILLEGAL PITCH will be called. WARMUPS: Pitchers can take THREE warm-up pitches in the 1^st inning, and only ONE after. NEW pitchers take 3 warm-up pitches when making their 1^st appearance! WARMUP INFIELD and/or OUTFIELD BALL is allowed in the 1^st inning only! Not allowed after the 1^st inning, even if a new fielder comes into the game! MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS: ALL PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE are required to have reached their 18^th Birthday. IF you wish to use player(s) under 18, a letter of permission must be submitted and signed by Parent or Guardian, and addressed or dropped off for Don Bowers at Seymour, Fair Insurance, 200 Welland Ave., St.Catharines, Ont. L2R 2P8! Drinking at the Diamond AND around the Bench will not be tolerated: Umpires make note that there were players drinking on the benches last year, and players walking off the bench and into the stands beside the diamond and imbibing! You are therefore warned that the umpires have been instructed that if any player brings booze onto the bench, or drinks in the stands beside the diamond, he will be ejected from the game!
