4 Overview of game and scorekeeper s role AAA Plate Umpire - Ump makes calls on ball/strike and decides if out made, if run scored, etc. Score and win-loss records kept Scorekeeper works for Ump Players pitch Scorekeeper counts pitches (max # pitches per age of player) Scorekeeper decides hits, errors, passed balls, stolen bases, singles, doubles, RBI, etc. Scorekeeper tracks: Outs and runs st 5 innings end after 3 outs, once through line up or after 4 runs scored; 6 th inning no run limit 0 run (slaughter) rule NOT used Dropped 3 rd strike is an out 6 innings total Game length: max 2 ½ hours; record time of st pitch Complete Pitching Affidavit for own team; Home Scorekeeper signs both teams forms; Both managers sign both forms Majors Plate Umpire - Ump makes calls on ball/strike and decides if out made, if run scored, etc. Score and win-loss records kept Scorekeeper works for Ump Players pitch Scorekeeper counts pitches (max # pitches per age of player) Scorekeeper decides hits, errors, passed balls, stolen bases, singles, doubles, RBI, etc. 6 innings total; continuous batting Scorekeeper tracks: Outs and runs all innings end after 3 outs 0 run (slaughter) rule IS used Dropped 3 rd strike is in effect 6 innings total No max game length Complete Pitching Affidavit for own team; Home Scorekeeper signs both teams forms; Both managers sign both forms
5 Your Duties It s all about the kids and the game Pitch Counter Protecting the arms of our young pitchers Scorekeeper What s required: Outs, Runs and Substitutions Outs -> is the inning over Runs -> who wins; is the inning over (Minors only) Substitutions -> ensuring all our kids get their mandatory play What s desired: an accurate record of the game Recording the sequence of events that take place in the game Aiding your manager in his/her assessment of player strengths and weaknesses Check in with your manager on how you are doing
6 You are a Game Official You work for the Umpires, not your child s Manager Once the game begins you may only converse with the other scorekeeper(s) and the Umpires Managers and Coachers must get Blue s permission to speak with you You may not coach or root from the booth (even your child) that can get you ejected.
7 Who Decides Scorekeepers have sole responsibility for decisions on hits, errors, passed balls, stolen bases, singles, doubles, runs-batted-in, etc. The Umpires decide if an out is made and if a run is scored You are recording these decisions so ask if you are unsure of what they decided The Umpires decides on the ball / strike count If both of you differ with the Plate Ump, tell him/her
8 In the booth... Both scorekeepers work as a team After every batter, you Must agree on the Pitcher s Total Pitch count I ve got 5 pitches for a total of 37, correct? Must agree on Outs and Runs Discuss but you may disagree on hit versus error, single vs double, wild pitch vs passed ball, rbi credited, etc. This is where I d rather you be aligned with your manager The Home Team Scorekeeper is *Official* Home Team Scorekeeper has final say on pitch count. Home Team Scorekeeper signs the pitching affidavit. Home Team Scorebook is the official record

12 Before the Game Begins Finally The game doesn t begin (or continue) until you are ready: Hey Blue, We need a few more minutes Record the time of the first pitch in the scorebook. Very important in Minors
13 During the Game Each scorekeeper completes the pitching affidavit for his/her team but not the opposing team Both scorekeepers score both halves of the inning Set-up so you simply flip the book over between half-innings The back of the By-the-Numbers scorebook book has extra innings tear-outs In Majors and above, a batter may bat more than once a inning start next column
14 The Game Minors - AAA The first 5 innings end after 3 outs, once thru the lineup, or after 4-runs have been scored. The 6 th inning does not have a run limit. The last inning ends on the 3 rd out, once thru the line-up or once the home team takes the lead in the bottom half. The Chief Umpire calls the game 2 hours 30 mins after the first pitch. A new inning shall not start after 2 hours 5 mins. The Chief Umpire determines when the last inning has begun and suspends the run limit. The 0-run (aka, slaughter) rule is NOT used.

The fielder does not have to touch the ball

Record the line-ups of both teams: batting order, defensive positions. Record the score, the inning, the current batter, the number of outs, position of the runners. Get the managers to sign the scorebook if the game has been protested.
64 Additional Points in Scorekeeping for Juniors
65 Substitution & Re-entry Juniors and Above A Starter may be removed at any time. A Starter may re-enter anywhere in batting order, but only once and only after his substitute has completed At-Bat and 6 Defensive Outs. A Starter (S) that subs for another starter (S2) must complete At-Bat and 6 Defensive Outs AS A SUB before S2 may re-enter. S s At-Bat and Defensive Outs AS A STARTER count towards mandatory play, but do not effect S2 s re-entry. A Substitute may NOT re-enter, and hence... A Substitute may be removed only after meeting mandatory play requirements Scorekeepers track all substitutions and notify the Umpire immediately if an illegal substitution is being made. 3.03

The manager or one coach is only permitted to stand in this area if another manager or coach is physically in the dugout. This area does not qualify as being part of the dugout. Any ball which enters this area is considered a live ball and in play. The following are WSLL By-Laws pertaining to the field of play that are included here for completeness and reference by Managers, Coaches, and Umpires: 2. In addition to the mandatory play requirement of six defensive outs defined in Regulation IV, each player must play a further three defensive outs for a total of nine. In addition, each player must be included in the defensive starting line up a minimum of every other game in which they are present. Penalties to the manager for failure to adhere to the mandatory play requirements are defined in Regulation IV. 3. Scorekeepers from both teams shall sit in the scorekeepers booth. An additional representative from each team may be allowed in the booth to assist in score keeping or in the operation of the scoreboard. No manager, coach, or player shall be in the booth during their game. The home team scorekeeper is the official pitch count recorder. 4. The Chief Umpire will call the game after 2 hours 30 minutes. The time will begin with the first pitch, which shall be recorded by the scorekeeper(s) in the scorebook. A new inning shall not be started after 2 hours 5 minutes of the start of the game. Note that rules 4.0, 4., and 4.2 still apply. This is a developmental league and it is the manager s responsibility to not delay the game just in order to ensure a win. 5. A 4 run limit (as per waiver approved 2/3/2) is to be imposed for each half-inning except the last inning (as declared by the plate umpire or the 6 th inning). There are no run limits applied to the 6 th or subsequent innings. 6. The 0 run slaughter rule is not adopted. 7.

73 Major Division. As the view of home plate from the setback dugouts is restricted, while on defense the Manager or one Coach is allowed to stand in the triangular area immediately outside the dugout door formed by: a. the corner pole between the gate to the bleachers and the dugout gate; b. the pole on the other side of the gate to the bleachers; and c. the next pole along from the dugout gate. The manager or one coach is only permitted to stand in this area if another manager or coach is physically in the dugout. This area does not qualify as being part of the dugout. Any ball which enters this area is considered a live ball and in play. The following are WSLL By-Laws pertaining to the field of play that are included here for completeness and reference by Managers, Coaches, and Umpires: 2. In addition to the mandatory play requirement of six defensive outs defined in Regulation IV, each player must play a further three defensive outs for a total of nine. In addition, each player must be included in the defensive starting line up a minimum of every other game in which they are present. Penalties to the manager for failure to adhere to the mandatory play requirements are defined in Regulation IV. 3. Scorekeepers from both teams shall sit in the scorekeepers booth. An additional representative from each team may be allowed in the booth to assist in score keeping or in the operation of the scoreboard. No manager, coach, or player shall be in the booth during their game. The home team scorekeeper is the official pitch count recorder. 4. Pitching Rules will be per LL regulations. 5.

74 Intermediate (50/70), Junior, Senior & Big League Division. The out of play line on the left and right side of the field is as defined by orange cones set up by the field crew. If the orange cones are not set up, out of play is defined by a straight line from the end of the backstop fence to the end of the outfield fence. 2. The trees along the left and right sides of the field (including overhanging branches) are considered to be out of bounds and treated as such. A batted ball that strikes any portion of a tree in flight is a foul ball; a batted bounding ball that lands fair and then hits a tree is a dead ball and a two base award; a thrown ball that hits a tree causes the play to be dead, with penalties being assessed as appropriate for the state of play. The following are WSLL By-Laws pertaining to the field of play that are included here for completeness and reference by Managers, Coaches, and Umpires: 3. In addition to LL specified mandatory play requirements, WSLL requires that each player be included in the starting line up a minimum of every other game in which they are present. 4. There is no scorekeepers booth at the WSCP field. If a scorekeepers table and chairs are set up, then the scorekeepers should use them. If a table is not set up, then it is preferred that scorekeepers from both teams sit together on the bleachers, alternating every two complete innings which bleachers they sit on. In the event this is not possible and the scorekeepers sit on different bleachers, then they should consult at the end of each inning to ensure they agree on the details for that inning. The position the scorekeepers occupy on the bleachers should be the furthest position from the dugout to minimize the possibility of a manager, coach, or player talking to them during the game. The home team scorekeeper is the official pitch count recorder.
