2017 Brokenhead Ojibway Nation Slo Pitch Tournament Rules
Regular Game Duration- All games 5 innings or 1 hr. 15 run mercy rule after 3rd Inning.
Playoff Game Duration – FINALS Games 7 Innings.
Maximum of 10 runs per inning, except final inning which is OPEN
Profanity rule- anyone using profanity loudly, or directed at, tournament officials, an umpire or
opposing team, will receive a team warning (each team allowed one warning per game). If
anyone from the offending team uses profanity during the rest of the game the batter up (or the
next batter if offending team is in the field) is automatically out and does not bat.
Bats-No titanium or hardball bats allowed, all bats must have grips, or be properly taped (no
electrical tape) All bats must be legal as per the SPN Guidelines.
No alcohol in view of umpire, if team is caught, automatic forfeit, No alcohol in the dugout area.
No jewellery – if any batter comes up to the plate with any jewellery on that is in view of the
umpire and they are caught, they are automatically out (no warning).
Maximum 6 males in line up at once (you may play 5 and 5, 4 and 6, etc. if desired).
Exception, see extra hitter rule.
Late Teams – Teams not ready to play right at the scheduled game time (not enough players,
lineup not made, etc.) will lose their first at bat. If 10 minutes late- automatic forfeit-unless
team is playing a doubleheader on a different diamond for game one causing this to be late for
game two- then no penalty is enforced
Short players – you may play 1 or 2 players short taking automatic outs. If player comes late
they can be put in lineup at any time, as long as the game is not delayed.
Batting Order - you may put males and females in any order you like.
Courtesy Line – male defensive players (except pitcher) must stay outside baselines between
1stand 2nd base and 2nd and 3rd base on female batters until ball leaves the pitchers hand.
Failure to do so results in a dead ball, batter is awarded 1st base and all other base runners
awarded 1 base.
Bunt Rule- Females only may bunt. If batter “squares” to bunt, she cannot pull back and swing
away. Batter is out and ejected from the game, whether contact was made or not if she swings
away after squaring. If a player squares to bunt but pulls the bat back and makes no attempt to
bunt in the umpires judgment it is NOT an automatic strike, only a strike if the pitch is a legally
delivered strike. Courtesy line will still be in effect if batter squares to bunt.
Substitutions – only time a female may be replaced by a male in the batting order or on the
field is when you are playing with more than 4 females in the lineup. Exception, see extra hitter
rule. Players may re-enter the game once, but only for the person that they were replaced by.
2017 Brokenhead Ojibway Nation Slo Pitch Tournament Rules – Page 2 Continued
Extra Hitter Rule (Optional) – Please always inform umpire when you hand in scorecard if
you plan to bat more than 10 batters
Batting order Any order you like. 10 batters- maximum 6 males 11 batters- maximum 6
males 12 batters- maximum 7 males. 13 batters- maximum 7 males. 14 batters- maximum 8
males. Any combination of players in batting order can play defensively, (with maximum of 6
males on field)

Whatever number of batters you start with you MUST FINISH WITH. Any open spots (if
someone has to leave or can’t finish a game and there are no legal subs to put in) will be
counted as automatic outs (not a forfeit)
Courtesy Runner–Maximum 3 courtesy runners per game- male for male, female for female.
You may now use anyone for the batting order to run, and a runner may be used more than
once per game (as long at team does not exceed 3 in a game)
Player eligibility All players must sign roster to be eligible for any league games. Rosters due
on the Saturday of the tournament. The roster will then be considered final, and any nonrostered players will be considered illegal. Anyone caught using illegal players by way of
opposing team making a protest, or any league official (including umpires) being made aware of
it, the offending team will forfeit all games the illegal player has played, and, if occurs during
playoffs, the team will be disqualified for the remainder of the tournament.
To be eligible to play on Sunday of the Tournament a player must have played at least one
game for your team prior to the Sunday. This may help prevent teams from “stacking” their
teams on the Sunday on the tournament.
Lead Off - you may take steps off after a swing and a miss or when a ball crosses the plate.
Commitment Line- no touching home plate at any time when scoring a run, if seen by umpire,
runner is out.
Pitching- 6-12 foot arc. A strike is any legal pitch not swung at that hits our infamous mat
behind the plate that does not hit home plate.
Foul Ball – 3rdstrike, you’re out!
Walking Batters – if a male batter walks and is followed by a female, he gets 2 bases and the
female batter bats. If followed by a male he only gets 1 base. If a male batter walks before an
“auto out” he is awarded only first base.
Tie Game – All tie games in regular round will remain a tie.
Darkness or Rain – in this case 5 complete innings is considered an official game. If a game is
called in the middle of an inning (past the 5th inning) the final score will be that of the last
completed inning. Example –away team is leading 6 – 5 after 5innings. In the top of the 6ththey
score 1 run. With 1 out in the bottom of the 6th, the home team scores 5 runs, but it starts
pouring, the umpire has to call the game, the final score would be 6 – 5 for the away team.
2017 Brokenhead Ojibway Nation Slo Pitch Tournament Rules – Page 3 Continued
Steel cleats – not allowed. Player will be called out if at bat or on base and must remove them
or leave the game. This is for safety and insurance purposes.
All other rules of Slo-Pitch as per the SPN rulebook not mentioned above will be used.
SPORTSMANSHIP: - Remember if an umpire blows a call, it is not on purpose, and it is a
part of the game. So don’t “FREAK OUT” on the umpires, it’s not the end of the world!!!
All umpires decisions are final, if a player is ejected from a game:
First offence – 1 game suspension
tournament
Second offence – suspended indefinitely from
Any physical confrontation with umpires:
First player from a team – person suspended indefinitely
Second player from a team – team is suspended indefinitely
IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH HOW THE TOURNAMENT IS RUN, THE PROTEST RULES
BELOW WILL APPLY. ANYONE SHOWING ACTS OF UNSPORTSMANSHIP WILL RESULT
IN ELIGIBILITY TO PLAY IN FUTURE TOURNAMENTS.
PROTESTS – all protested games should be submitted in writing to Tournament Organizer,
together with a $200.00 payment per protest. Money will be refunded if protest is won. If a game
is protested, umpire is informed at time of incident and scorekeepers of both teams will mark at
what point of the game the protest took place. These will be submitted to the Tournament
Organizer with a written protest and deposit. Protestable situation – player eligibility, conflict of
rules only (not balls and strikes, safe or out or any other judgment call). Protests will be
addressed as time permits and Tournament Coordinator investigates situation and a decision is
rendered.
BAD WEATHER – This includes bad forecasts and bad weather on previous days (some
diamonds may be playable while others are under water). The organizer will make every effort
to call teams to postpone games.
