2017 Playoff Rules (U10/U12/U14/U16)
Important Notes:
 During round-robin play, it will be 1 points for a win. There will be no ties, based on the half run awarded
for the coin toss (see next point).
 There will be a coin toss to decide which team will be home team. Toss winner decides if they field or bat
first. If they bat first, they are award a half run advantage. If they choose to field first, the other team gets to
bat first and they receive half run advantage. Whichever team bats first gets half run advantage.
 In case of a 2 way tie after round-robin play, results of game vrs each other will be used to determine
standing. In case of 3 way tie after round-robin play, total +/- (runs “for” minus runs “against”) will be used
as determining factor. If still 3 way tie, ump to put the 3 team names in a “hat” and draw placement.
 In all round robin games, home team (bats last) must complete their bat in the last inning, to determine runs
for/against to determine placing within each pool. Umpire will determine & announce the last inning.
 A game will consist of:
o U10 - 5 innings, or a time limit of 1.5 hours.
o U12/U14/U16 – 7 innings, or a time limit of 2.0 hours.
 5 run rule is in effect for all innings. No “open” last inning. Umpire will determine & announce the last
inning.
 No innings should start with less than 15 minutes to go in the time limit.
 When pitching, at all levels, both feet start on the “rubber”; one foot must remain in contact with the ground
at all times.
 The placement on the schedule was done by a random draw.
 With the exception of the above, the Lac Ste. Anne Minor Softball League rules apply in all circumstances.
Umpires:
 Host is responsible to provide plate umpires for all games.
 If teams are not prepared to play with only the plate ump provided by the host community, it is the
responsibility of each team to provide base umps.
Scorekeepers:
 After each inning, scorekeepers must verify that score-sheets are the same. If there is a discrepancy, the
umpire must be notified at that time.
