7. PLAYOFFS. During playoffs, each team is to supply at least one game ball. Each team is responsible to provide an umpire for each playoff game except for the overall championship (league hires umpires whenever possible). The home team shall be the team with the better record in regular season play with the exception of crossover games played on neutral fields. A coin flip will determine home team in these games.
8. FORFEITS. If either the home or visiting team does not show up for a game without prior notification, the team present shall receive a forfeit win 6-0.
9) ALL-STAR GAMES. Each level of play may set-up an ALL-STAR game involving players from our league. It is recommended each team be represented by at least one player. Coaches are expected to help out with umpiring, coaching and setting up of All-Star contests. The commissioner need NOT schedule ALL-STAR games. ALL-STAR games should be set up by coaches of teams presently in first place at the time of setting up the game.
10) UMPIRES. Visiting teams have the option of supplying an umpire for all regular season and preliminary playoff games. The home team should provide both if the visitors don’t bring an umpire. Home plate (umpire-in-chief) will be provided by the home team. By mutual agreement, less than two umpires may work a game. Umpires shall be 21 years of age or older but younger umpires may work with mutual agreement.
11) COACHING VIOLATIONS. Any coach violating league rules may be restricted from coaching.
12) PLAYER AGE. Under no circumstances may a player play at a lower level by age. Player may play up to avoid forfeits or due to above-average ability. Sign each player to the roster you feel he will start the season at and play most of his games with.
