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 or a subsequent pitch is thrown. 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!

COURTESY RUNNER

Courtesy (Bandit) Runner

• The Bandit Runner (BR) may be anyone on the roster.
• The BR must be designated before the game begins This is tied to the player and not a position in the lineup or on the roster.
• The BR will be the Bandit Runner for the remainder of the game. The BR may run for anyone at any time.
• If the BR is also in the batting lineup, and his turn at bat occurs while he is on base, his position in the batting order will be an out. If the BR’s “Turn at Bat” occurs and the BR is ON BASE, an out will be recorded for his position in the batting order. There are NO exceptions. His “turn at bat” occurs when the previous batters turn at bat has ended. “Play Ball” or “Batter Up” need not be indicated for his turn at bat to occur. There shall be no other penalty other than an out.
• The BR role may not be substituted. A Bandit Runner may be replaced on the base only by the player he is running for at the time. The Bandit Runner role is then lost for the remainder of the game.
• If anyone other than the Designated BR assumes a position on the base to run for another player and is not announced as a legal substitute the improper baserunner will be declared out.

Runner for the Pitcher

• In addittion to the “Bandit Runner”  the pitcher will be allowed a runner other than the Bandit Runner If the Bandit is on base or in jeopardy of being on base when it is his turn to bat. This “pitcher runner” may be anyone on the roster. If his turn to bat occurs and he is occupying a base e will be “out at the plate”.
