Super World Berths for 2012:
NIT's:
2-11 teams - 1 berth
12-23 teams - 2 berths
24+ teams - 3 berths
State's:
2-15 teams - 1 berth
16-23 - 2 berths
24+ - 3 berths that pass no further than any team with a 2-2 or better record.
We will be adding space on the rosters to have 3 coaches sign and those signed
coaches and players on roster will be the only ones allowed on the field to
coach bases.
New Paper Roster bylaw:
Very few rule changes:
Illegal glove or mitt involved in a play - Adding penalty to the rule.
Uniform Rule - Once a team has won home team by uniform rule, said team must remain in compliance for the duration of the game. No player not in uniform will be allowed to play at anytime during the game.
Courtesy Runner rule: The courtesy runner can be any player on the team roster.A courtesy runner may be used once per inning, per team. The courtesy runner will be identified to the umpire before play resumes. Once play resumes - (time is released) that courtesy runner will be officially entered. If that courtesy runner comes to bat while on base, it is an out. The courtesy runner may not be substituted for. A defensive team may walk to get to that out.
*** This just addresses when the courtesy runner becomes officially on the base.***
Clean up of Batter/runner is awarded first base. This under base-runner in contact is hit with a batted ball while in contact with base.
Senior divisions (exception not in 40+ or 45+) will be permitted to use the
Senior bats with the use of the 52/275 softball only.
40 and 45 over classes will now be in the Senior program.
