MIXED RULES

MIXED RULES

50-minute game times

Teams can play 6 male and 4 female players in the field. A team can bat 6 males and 4 females, 5 males and 5 females or 6 males and 6 females. The females must bat every other batter at the top of the lineup in any format. Once all the females have hit, only then can you can bat your guys back-to-back.

HOME RUNS

0 bikes= 0 home runs (no bracelet) 

If you do not purchase home-runs, or only get the 4, ALL home runs hit after your 4 (or 0) will become inning ending outs!

The coach MUST wear the wristband(s) and show it to the umpire at the coaches meeting during the coin toss. If you do not, he will assume you do not have any!

COURTESY RUNNER

You are NOT allowed to run for a runner. If a person is on base at the time their spot in the lineup is up, they are out! In mixed, the same gender must be the courtesy runner. 

If you do not purchase the courtesy runner, you are allowed one runner (one per gender in mixed) per inning. Anyone on the roster may courtesy run. 

MIXED EQUALIZER

When a team plays monehP, they will have the option to play by the equalizers. Lower team starts 2nd and 3rd for four innings. monehP can only score 5 runs per inning until the open inning, which will be at 45 minutes or the 6th inning.  Once 45 minutes is up or the team ends the 6th inning, the umpire will declare the next inning will be open, which means monehP can score as many runs needed to win the game. If the equalizer is chosen, monehP will automatically become the home team. 

If any bracket game ends in a tie, we will begin the extra inning with the last batted out on second base and zero outs. 

BALLS

I will provide the coaches with three (3) 12” and three (3) 11” balls. The female balls will be GSL Nation Stamped, blue and orange color stitching, Demarini Razo. This is the ONLY 11” ball you are able to use besides the USSSA Pro M and Classic W stamped balls. I will be selling the Razo for $40 a dozen.

All other rules can be found in the USSSA Slow-pitch Rulebook! 

HOMERUNS AND COURTESY RUNNERS

If you have zero home runs, they will be inning ending outs in both uppers and lowers! This is all about the kids and getting them the toys they all deserve!

If you want to purchase unlimited homeruns for the tournament, you may do so for $100! I will then turn around and buy bikes for the kids with that money after the tournament.

EACH PLAYER IS STILL REQUIRED TO BRING ONE NEW TOY, no matter if you buy a bike or not. 

0 bikes= 0 homeruns

1 bike= 4 home runs/game for the tournament.

4 bikes= unlimited homeruns for the entire tournament.

The coach MUST wear the wristband and show it to the umpire at the coaches meeting during the coin toss so he knows how many homeruns you have. If you do not, he will assume you do not have any!

$10 unlimited courtesy runners. You are NOT allowed to run for a runner. If a person is on base at the time their spot in the lineup is up, they are out!

BALLS

I will be giving each men's team 3 balls and women's team 3 balls to start the tournament. I will be giving two male and two female balls for the mixed divisions. Balls for the male batters can be any one of the following balls: Dudley Hardcore, Pro M or Classic M; Baden Pro M or Classic M or the Onyx Pro M ball. NO OTHER BALL MAY BE USED. For the women the ball must be a classic W stamped ball.

Balls will be for sale at the tournament as follows:

Dudley Hardcore (if they arrive in time): $80 per dozen or $45 for half a dozen.
Onyx Pro M: $70 per dozen (only sold by the dozen and while supplies last)
