Exception: Any player, who has played the position of catcher in four (4) or more innings in a game, is not eligible to pitch on that calendar day. Delivery of a single pitch constitutes having pitched an inning. A pitcher remaining in the game, but moving to a different position, can return as a pitcher anytime in the remainder of the game, but only once in the same inning as he/she was removed. A player may not pitch in more than nine (9) innings in a day. If a player pitches in less than three (3) innings in a calendar day, no rest is required. If a player pitches in three (3) or more innings in a calendar day, one day s rest is required VISITS A manager or coach may not leave a dugout for any reason during a game without receiving permission from an umpire. The manager or coach may be removed from the field for the remainder of the game for violation of this rule. When permission is granted the manager or coach will be permitted to go to the mound to confer with the pitcher or any defensive player(s). A manager or coach who is granted a time out to talk to any defensive player will be charged with a visit to the pitcher. A manager or coach may come out twice in one inning to visit with the pitcher, but the third time out, the player must be removed as a pitcher. The manager or coach may come out three times in a game to visit with the pitcher, but the fourth time out, the player must be removed as a pitcher. The rule applies to each pitcher who enters a game. NOTE: Only one offensive time-out will be permitted each inning.

6 There is no exception to this rule unless the game is shortened for any reason. NOTE: A game is not considered shortened if the home team does not complete the offensive half of the sixth or seventh inning (or any extra inning) due to winning the game. Failure to meet the mandatory play requirements in this rule is a basis for protest. If one or more players on a roster do not meet this requirement, and if protested or brought to the Tournament Committee s attention, it shall result (by action of the Tournament Committee) in the suspension of the team s manager for the next two scheduled tournament games, even if those games are played at the next tournament level. Additional penalties (up to and including forfeiture of a game and/or disqualification of the team, managers or coaches from further tournament participation) may be imposed. For the purposes of this rule, six (6) consecutive defensive outs is defined as: A player enters the field in one of the nine defensive positions when his/her team is on defence and occupies such position while six consecutive outs are made; bat at least one (1) time is defined as: A player enters the batter s box with no count and completes that time at bat by being retired or by reaching base safely.

Where possible the SWAUC shall appoint an additional umpire to these games as base umpire. Where a base umpire cannot be provided, each team shall provide one base umpire who shall be under the control of the plate umpire. It is the responsibility of the SWAUC to advise teams if they are required to provide a base umpire in a timely fashion. SUBSTITUTIONS / RE-ENTRY If illness, injury or the ejection of a player prevents a team from fielding nine (9) players, a player previously used in the lineup may be inserted, but only if there are no other eligible substitutes available. The opposing team manager shall select the player to reenter the lineup. A player ejected from the game is not eligible for re-entry. Any player who has been removed for a substitute may re-enter the game in the SAME position in the batting order. A substitute entering the game for the first time may not be removed prior to completion of her/his mandatory play requirements. A starter and her/his substitute must not be in the lineup at the same time, except as provided in Rule 10(a) of the orange book. Improper substitution is a basis for protest. Protests involving improper substitution not resolved before the next pitch or play shall not be considered. Rule 7.14, Special Pinch Runner, will apply during tournament TEN-RUN RULE (aka Mercy Rule) If at the end of a regulation game (4 th inning or any subsequent inning) one team has a lead of ten (10) runs or more the manager of the team with the least runs shall concede the victory to the opponent.
