Q & A's from the league co-ordinator

1. We are allowed to field 10 players in the field
a. they can be 4 girls and 6 guys?
in this case you can only play the 4 females and 5 males with the automaitc out where consecutive males bat in the lineup. you may however field and bat 6 females and 4 males. the key is to not have the advantage of playing more males.
2. We can bat maximum of 12 players (it has to alternate at every spot.....male, female, male, female, etc)
a. can we have folks fielding that will not bat?
12 players alternating male and female may bat, the batting order must remain the same, but players may play any position. all field players must bat.
3. Is there sliding?
sliding is allowed
4. Does the catcher have to squat on every pitch like regular baseball? (guessing so b/c of umpire)
the catcher may squat or take a knee, follow the lead of the other team since you will be batting first on Friday
5. Are there passed balls where the base runners can advance a base if the catcher lets the ball by?
no passed balls or wild pitches, runner's may not advance
6. for base runners - Is there leading off the bases?
no leading off
7. If I take player A out of the game in the 2nd inning, can I put player A back later in the game?
no player re-entry once a player is removed from the batting lineup
8. What if 8 guys and 4 girls show up for our first game.
a. Can we still bat 12 people without taking automatic outs (or does it have to be male, female, male, female throughout the order?)
minimum 8 batters to have an official game, maximum 12 batters. batting lineup must alternate gender. automatic out only occurs when consecutive male batters. you may bat 11 with an automatic out if batter #10 and batter #11 are male, no automatic out if back to back females
b. or, do we have to bat only 8 to avoid automatic outs?
I would suggest batting and fielding 8 players (4 male / 4 female)
c. can we still field 10 in this case....and bat only 8?
you cannot field 10 and bat 8. all players in the field must bat.
