League Organization and General Guidelines

All Games are 80 minutes long maximum. The first game begins at 9 am. The second games begin at 10:30 am. When four teams are at a site, there is a 10-minute break between rounds so the second game begins on time. We want everyone finished up before noon each week.

There are no rosters submitted, no standings recorded, no scores reported, no team records kept or anything that resembles playing for a championship. The purpose of the league is to offer players a chance to get in 10-12 more games before the snow flies get pitchers more innings, batters more at bats and fielders more chances to improve.

Teams should have nine players at the venue to play but if a team is short of players we want the games played. If the opposing team wishes to "lend" players to the team that is short that works too. Team leaders are encouraged to have nine players there for their games, however.

League fees are $50 per week that you wish to play. That fee must be paid before a team is included in the scheduling process. Send it to Bob at N4944 US Hwy 51, Poynette, WI 53955. If a week is rained out, the teams will get a refund at the end of the season.

The league uses one umpire and that umpire positions themself behind the catcher. They might miss a close play here or there on the bases but having two umpires would raise the league fee to double what it is. One has worked superbly for the eight years that the league has functioned.

Players should not be just from the same high school but traveling teams are not really accepted. Using girls from other schools is great so combining to be sure you have enough willing players is fine and encouraged.. There are no official rosters. Keep in mind that 7th or 8th grade girls can be used and are not considered by the WIAA to be your high school players (they aren't in high school).

WIAA rules are generally used with some exceptions such as - substituting and the number of kids in the batting order. You can bat as many as you'd like and if you bat more than 9 then you can subsititute freely in the field. The batting order should not be altered though. If a player is injured and needs a courtesy runner just use the last out as the courtesy runner. Players may wear metal cleats.

Pitching distance shall be 43 feet.

A team must provide a game useable ball for each game played. It does not have to be a new ball but it should be in good shape. The team gets the ball back after the game is over.

In case of bad weather the venue hosts for that week will contact the other teams due to play at that venue. The league administrator does not make weather-out contacts except for the Poynette venue when that is being used. Venue hosts must report to Bob that they are not playing or did not play on a given week.

Venue hosts must provide playable fields and have fouls lines chalked. Running chutes are not required. A pitcher's circle should also be marked on the field. Venue hosts are encouraged to provide a concession stand but it is not required. Venue hosts must have restroom/toilet facilities available and useable.

All games start on time but if there is time before the first game and a team wants to take infield practice, they can.
