SC State Rules

  • Floating Rubber Pitchers will not be required to “toe” the pitching rubber. They may be up to 6’ behind the pitching rubber and within the pitching box.                                                                                                     
  • Starting lineups   Teams may start with 8 players. Teams starting with 8 or 9 do not have to take an out for the missing players. Teams starting with less than 10 may add up to 10 when available but they must be added to the bottom of lineup.                                                                                                              
  • A Batter who “bats” a ball, Fair or Foul, with an illegal bat will be declared out. This is an         “APPEAL PLAY” which must be appealed by the defense before the next pitch is thrown
March 06, 2025 - 02:06pm

Legal Bat / Banned Balls

All Elite/Onyx balls have been banned due to non-compliance with Ball Specifications

240 Stamp   Old Stamp

ONLY 240 BATS ALLOWED     

As you may know, there was a temporary ban on Suncoast and Juno Bats. They had testing issues the bats were deemed a safety issue

the Juno bats have been reinstated,.........

The SunCoast banned models are listed below

Suncoast | SR12MUCETE
Suncoast | SRM12AASE
Suncoast | SR12MUCE
Suncoast | SRMAASE
Suncoast | SRMAASB
Suncoast | SRMUSE
Suncoast | SR12MUSE
Suncoast | SRMUSB
Suncoast | SR12MUSB


Please understand that "player safety" was first and foremost in the decision to move to "240" bats.

USSSA was the pioneer in bat technology for slowpitch softball and contributes a lot of resources to ensuring there is a balance between performance and safety in equipment.

Home Run Rules / Courtesy Runner Rule

Mens C   1 DHH plus 4 HR's   all additional "over the fence untouched" HR's are outs only

Mens D    1 DHH plus 2 HR's   all additional "over the fence untouched" HR's are outs only

Men's E    1 DHH plus 2 HR's   all additional "over the fence untouched" HR's are outs only

Mens Rec 2 HR's  all additional "over the fence untouched" HR's are outs only

Women's C     3 Home Runs  all additional "over the fence untouched" HR's are outs only


We will be using the National Courtesy Runner Rule in the past we have used a different rule. However the national rule was changed from "anyone in the lineup" to "anyone on the roster" .

Sec. 13. COURTESY RUNNERS: One courtesy runner per inning (one time) may be used.
The courtesy runner can be any player ON THE ROSTER. Once the courtesy runner occupies the
base, the selected courtesy runner may not be exchanged for any other desired courtesy runner.
If the courtesy runner is still on base at the time her/her turn at bat comes up, that spot in the
batting order will be an out. In the Mixed Program, any male player in the lineup may run for
any male, and any female player in the lineup may run for any female. Both a male and female
player may opt for a courtesy runner in each inning.
