• Each team will play four females and six males.
• A team may have five males and three females and still play, but there will be an automatic out for each person absent, in the 9th and 10th spots of the order.
• All games will be seven innings long.
• Each team will earn two points for a victory and one point for a defeat. If they have a full team.
• A forfeit exists if a team cannot put atleast 5 males and three females. However, a team with four males could play four females and still play. A team must field 8 players.
• Forfeits result in zero points. In case of a tie, both teams will earn two points.
• Each team will be eligible for a sportsmanship point, whether they win or lose, providing their team behaved in a manner that is respectful to each other and towards the opposing team. To be determined by the umpire.
• At the end of the season, the top three teams will make the playoffs.
• The number two team will play the number three team for the right to meet the number one team in the finals.
• Standings will be determined not by the number of victories but rather by each teams accumulation of points.
• Every person on a team who attends on time must play a minimum of three innings in the field and one at bat. (an exception is made if the team does not get its last ups or game ends early).
• If a batter throws his or her bat, it is grounds for an automatic out, to be determined by the umpire. If a bat is thrown and hits the catcher, it is automatically an out.
• If a male is walked and a female follows and there are two outs, than the male is eligible to get a free walk too, or she may choose to hit, but the male gets to second if she is walked.
• The strike zone will be wide, so that if any part of the ball may be within one inch of the strike zone and that is a strike. There is no fast pitching. The ball must reach a height above the batter's head or the pitch may be ruled illegal and will be counted as an automatic ball. However, if the batter chooses to swing at the pitch, than it is in play.
• One or both rounds of the playoffs will be extended to two out of three games if scheduling time permits.
• Rules of conduct that apply in school will apply in the field.
• Students must have a permission slip signed by a parent/guardian to partake.
• Captains (one female and one male) will draft their teams.
• Assistants =community service hours will be available(stats, equip, scorer,..)

1. Teams with the most points make the playoffs

2. In case of two teams having equal points, their head to head record determines who advances.

3. If they split their games then the team that won by more runs will advance.

4. If they each won by the same number of runs, then the number of points gathered in the two games will determine who advances. So if you lost a point for having less than eight players (atleast 4 girls and 4 guys, or 5 guys and three girls or 6 guys and 2 girls or five girls and three guys) Or if any team lost a sportsmanship oint in the two games.

5. If no team lost points or if both teams lost the same number of points than the winner will be determined by a coin toss.

If two teams have played less than two other teams and we are unable to schedule a make up game, than the number of points received will be the average number of points the team has earned per game. (2.5, 3.0, 3.2, etc.,) so if for example Elvis' team is 2-4, and has earned all its sports and attendance points, then they would have an average of 16 points, eight for their 2 wins and 8 for their four losses. This averages to 2.66 points per game. (16 divided by 6) So for the game Elvis' team missed they will receive 2.66 points and that will mean their final year end total is 18.66. (16 + 2.66)
