Rules Of Play

  1. Only official WIFFLE® ball bats and balls will be used.  These will be provided by tournament officials.
  2. All games will be seven innings long.
  3. Each team can have 9 players on the field, but may have up to 15 players on the roster.
  4. No stealing or leading off bases is permitted.  Players may leave the base once contact with the ball is made.  No bunting is allowed.
  5. When a runner is in the act of advancing from one base to the next, the player can be hit with the ball for an out.  However, in the interest of safety, the ball must hit the runner below the neck.
  6. When pitching, the ball must be thrown at a "hittable" speed.  Discretion of tournament umpires will be used.
  7. In the event of a tie, there will be a sudden death home run contest which will be held as follows:  The away team will get first at bat;  they will choose a player and have one attempt to hit a home run;  if the player fails to hit a home run, the home team then chooses a player to also attempt a home run.  Whichever team hits a home run during the contest without the opposing team hitting a home run will be declared the winner.
