Pitch Count Policy

For the safety of our young pitchers, RBI is moving to a hard pitch count system, replacing the former "outs recorded" method.

Each team’s coach or scorekeeper will track their own pitchers’ counts.

Umpires will record and confifirm pitches after each inning with both teamsscorekeepers for accuracy and collect totals after each pitching change per pitcher andat the end of the game on RBI’s official scorecards. These records will be uploaded to our website.

Pitch Count Limits:

To be eligible to pitch the next day:

Max 30 pitches

(may exceed to fifinish a batter aslong as the pitcher starts the batter with less than 30 pitches)

Maximum for entire event:

9U–10U: 75 pitches

11U–12U: 85 pitches

13U–14U: 95 pitches

Once a player has been removed from pitching they may not return to the

mound in the same game.

No pitcher shall appear in a game as a pitcher for three consecutive days, regardless of pitch

counts.

No pitcher shall appear in three games in the same day, regardless of pitch counts.

Pitching Violations:

The pitcher must be replaced on the mound immediately upon notice of a violation, not a forfeit

● 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

● 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.

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 RBI 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.
