All Divisions

Time Limits will be 50 Minutes - Finish the inning - Play 1 more

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.

Caoches and Players PLEASE READ

We appreciate your participation in this event. We value your patronage to USSSA.  

If at any time during a game in this event, you feel the need to speak with a director, please inform your umpire. He has been instructed to grant your request. This request needs to come from the coach.                                           Do NOT let the game continue. We cannot fix anything after play has continued. This does not mean anything other than the fact that you will be able to speak with a director. Erroneous rule interpretations may be corrected. Judgement calls are always at the discretion of the Umpire.

Thank you and Good Lick to all of you and Thank you for playing USSSA!

ROSTERS and Player Eligibility

All Rosters must be online.  

The database will not allow an illegal player (classification) to be added to a roster including the pending players, therefore in the event of a roster protest, any pending player will be ruled eligible as long as he can provide ID that matches his rostered name. The only protest that will be allowed is that a player that is in the game is NOT on the roster.
