Schedule Information
There are 10 teams in the league in 2008. We have space and time for five games per Tuesday night and six when we use the 9:15 time slot for rain makeup games. Every team will play 9 league games. You will play each team one time in a single round robin format. There will be an elimination tournament at the end of the league season that will be seeded according to the league standings and will proceed with the NCAA playoff format whereby the top four seeds get two lives and the bottom six teams get just one life..
League Updates
The weekly standings will be posted on this web page. Game summaries will be published on this website as long as managers use first and last names of players on the lineup cards. No nicknames! League updates will not be saved on the website from week to the next. Articles and standings will also appear in the Poynette Press.
League Rules
1 - All Games will be 7 innings or one hour in length unless a team is ahead by 12 or more runs anytime after the fifth inning. Therefore there is a 12-Run rule this year.

2 - Teams can bat everyone that is at the game. If a player comes late, they may be added to the bottom of the batting order and they can go immediately into the field for defense. If a player is not there for the start of the game he must not be included on the lineup form turned in to the scorekeeper. If he is included and is not there to bat, that batting order position shall be an automatic out. If that player arrives after he has been an automatic out one or more times, he may still enter and play and bat where the manager had him listed. Managers should not include players who are not there at game time. If a player is injured or has to leave the game before it is over, that spot in the batting order is just skipped and an out is not recorded there. If a player is injured or can't run for himself once he is on base, the batter who made the previous out may run for him.

3 - A team must have 8 players to start a game. If players come late - see rule #2.

4 - Metal cleats are not legal

5 - No smoking on the field of play - clean dugouts out after last game of the night. Plastic bottles, cans etc. must go into the trash recepticles near or in the dugouts and bench areas.

6 - On the Back Diamond, a ball hit over the fence from the right field foul pole (yellow pole) to the end of the 10' high fence shall be a ground rule double. Any ball hit over the fence elsewhere shall be a home run.

7 - The pitch must be no lower than the batter's head. There is no rule on how high a pitch can be delivered.

8 - The pitcher's plate shall be 50' from the back point of home plate. Bases are 60' apart as per ASA and USSSA Rules.

9 - Any pitch that strikes rubber shall be a strike. All of home plate and the strike mat is a strike.

10 - The ASA banned bats shall be banned in the league. The list of banned bats shall be upgraded as the season progresses. If a batter appears in the batter's box with an banned bat and the defensive appeals it or if the umpire notices that it is a banned bat, the team shall forfeit the game.

11 - Games will start as scheduled or right after a preceding game has ended. They could start earlier than scheduled in an attempt to get finished earlier than would normally be required. Have your players there, ready to play, at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled game time.

12 - Three balls constitutes a base on balls and two strikes of any kind consititutes a strikeout.

13 - A player ejected from a game shall miss the next week's game as well. Team Leaders must control the action and behaviors of their players.

14 - For game information or rain-out information check www.fastpitchchronicle.com/PoynetteSP.html and listen to WIBU radio (1240 am)
 
15 - All teams will play each other one time in the round robin league format. 

 

2008 League Elimination Tournament Schedule
Higher Seed will determine home team for all tournament games

How the brackets are decided

At the conclusion of the regular season the final standings will determine the seeds for the tournament. The top four seeds in the tournament will be given two lives (they have to be beaten twice to be eliminated). The other six teams will get one life. The top four teams will square off with the #1 taking on the the #4 and the #2 playing against the #3 seed. The losers of those two games will then fall down into the lower bracket with the other six teams. The winners of those first two games will play each other in the next round with the loser then dropping down into the lower bracket. The winner of the lower bracket will then have to beat the unbeaten team twice to win the title.

 

Good Luck to All Teams
