● 6u-8u Games are 1 hour 15 minutes

● Time will be kept by the umpires, Umpires have the final say when

time expires

● For each team’s pool games the home team will be a coin flip.

● A tie is equal to a ½ win and ½ loss for each team

Championship Round/Playoffs:

● The home team in Championship Play will be the higher seed except

when there is no seeding. When there is no seeding, the home team will be determined by a coin flip. This is the case even if the schedule

says otherwise.

● Director reserves the right to enact pool protection at their discretion.

If two teams have previously matched up in pool play, lower seeds

may be switched to provide teams with new opponents for the first

round of bracket play.

Extra Innings

● After 6 completed innings, Texas Tie Breaker, last 3 hitters on base with 1 out.

● The base runners will be placed as follows:

● Last hitter from previous inning @ 1st Base

● Hitter before him in the lineup @ 2nd Base

● Hitter before that in the lineup @ 3rd Base

● Normal substitution rules apply to these runners.

● The hitting team will start the inning with one out.

● Play continues until one team is ahead at the end of an inning.

Forfeits

A team should do everything within their power to start the game with 9

eligible players. Should a team not be able to begin with 9 players a game

may begin with 8 players with the 9 th

lineup spot being an automatic out. A

game can be finished with 8 players. If there are no eligible subs the player

leaving the original lineup will be recorded as an out until he is able to

return. Any intentional forfeit could result in the forfeiting team being

eliminated from the tournament. The tournament committee will rule on all

forfeits. No team should benefit from the result of a forfeit in an unfair

manner. This rule could result in a dispute and the tournament committee

reserves the right to look at and rule in the fairest possible way. The

committee’s decision will be final! A forfeit score will be the average runs

scored for the winning team to 0 for the losing team. Only the Head

Director can call a forfeit.

Taking Infield:

No infield will be allowed during the tournaments.

Mercy Rules:

● 20 after 2

● 15 after 3

● 10 after 4

● 8 after 5

Stop in Play:

If a game is stopped, the game must start within 1 hour of the stop in

play. If games are not resumed, they will become suspended or called

official. Games called by umpires that cannot be resumed within 1 hour

will be considered an official game, if 4 innings have been completed, or

3 1/2 innings if the home team is ahead (13U-14U: after 5 innings or 4

1/2 if the home team is ahead). After 4 complete innings, a tie score will

be recorded a tie in pool play. The tournament director can extend the 1

hour if there are extenuating circumstances, i.e. lightning detector,

working on fields, etc. A suspended game will resume where the game

was halted. In the event play is stopped for any reason before or during

the Championship round, first place, second place, third place, etc. will be

awarded based on PPS Seeding and Tie Breaker Rules.

Protests:

Judgment calls are not eligible for protest. Protests for pitching

limitations are permissible for non-Playbook events only. Protests will be

heard and ruled on by a tournament committee. We will not charge you to

protest, Roster violations are not a forfeit! We will use the players first,

last name on rosters along with birthdate. Lineups are not considered

rosters; matching uniforms are not required and player numbers are not considered a violation. The ruling made by the committee will be final.

Protests must be filed and ruled on before the next pitch if during game,

or before time has expired. After time has expired there will be no

protest.

Scoring:

We recommend that all teams (home and visitor) keep a scorebook. The

Home Team will be responsible to keep our digital live scoring app

Playbook, Scorekeeper for each event will gain a coaches access to the

event. In case of emergency where staff cannot keep book, the home team

will be the official scorer. In a situation in which tournament staff and the

home team are unable to score, the visitor would become the official book.

All subs should be reported to the umpires. To eliminate scoring disputes,

scorekeepers should check with the official scorer during and after the

game.

Lineup cards must be fully filled out with players first name, last name,

position, and accurate jersey numbers. All substitutes should be listed with

accurate jersey numbers. Failure to produce a complete lineup card can

result in games not starting on time. Lineup cards are to be given to the

official scorekeeper before the home plate meeting.
