Indoor Hitting Tournament RULES
•
4 Team tournament
•
Round Robin Tournament. Each team plays (3) 7 inning games with a drop dead time limit of 45
minutes.
•
Winner of each tournament advances to Championship Week
ROSTER
•
Teams must have a minimum of 6 players. No maximum roster count but batting order is
continuous.
•
Teams are required to play six players on defense. No throwing required. The defenders job will be
to simply protect the outfield (wall or net). In determining a baserunner, the batted ball must stay in
the fielder’s glove and possession. The ball may be bobbled as long as the ball does not hit the
ground. As soon as the ball hits the ground after leaving the fielders glove or body, under every
scenario, this will be viewed as a hit and the team will be awarded a base runner. Any ball that
reaches the back wall or net in the air or on the ground will be viewed as a hit and the team will be
awarded a baserunner.
2 OUT SCENARIO:
•
With two outs we will expect that the baserunners are moving when the ball is hit. On singles the
baserunners will be awarded two bases. On doubles the baserunners will be awarded 3 bases. On a
batted ball that is hit on the ground or in the air and the defender knocks the ball down to prevent
the ball from reaching the wall/net, under this circumstance we will only award the base runners
one base.
•
Teams will hit off of Hack Attack Pitching Machine (we will provide extra tunnels for hack attack
practice prior to your game)
•
NO BASE RUNNING - HITTING ONLY
•
Hitting Zones will be clearly marked for results. Example: single - double - triple - home run
•
We will provide 1 umpire to make all calls on the field. 1 Catcher will be provided.
•
Any ball that hits the net on the ceiling before the yellow line will be an out. Any ball that hits the
ceiling beyond the yellow line will be awarded a hit accordingly per umpire ruling.
•
Any line drive ball that hits the protective screens in front of the pitching machine above the yellow
line will be awarded a base hit. A ball hit below the yellow line that hits the protective screens will
be called an out.
•
When hitting with a 2 strike count the batter is allowed to take one pitch regardless of the
location. After one “free” pitch the umpire will call the batter out on strikes. The reason for this
rule is that occasionally the pitching machine will throw a ball and we will not penalize a batter on
the first 2 strike call. The only time a batter will receive a “free” pitch is on a 2 strike count and the
batter does not swing.
•
There are no WALKS.
•
Game can end in a tie.
•
Any ball that hits the middle pillar no matter how hard or soft in the air or on the ground will be
viewed as a dead ball and the pitch will not count.
•
Great way to compete against other teams in a fun competitive atmosphere while getting game like
pressure scenarios for your hitters
•
We will keep score and keep track of statistics are reward team and individual prizes
