Speed-up Rules: Neither of our fields has lights, so in order to keep the tournament on schedule, we will use the following Speed-up Rules for all games in the tournament.

1. No warmup balls for infielders or outfielders between innings. No team meetings on the field between innings.
2. The first batter of an inning must be ready to bat when the opposing pitcher has completed her warmup pitches.
3. If a game is tied after seven innings, we will use the International Tiebreaker Rule beginning in the

eighth inning. The last batter to make an out in the previous inning begins the new inning as a runner on

second base.

The Championship Game is between the teams with the two best records. The other two teams will play in the Third Place Game. We will award a championship trophy following the Championship Game.

Teams in the Championship Game will be determined by:

1. Best overall records

2. Head to head competition

3. Fewest total runs allowed

4. Fewest total walks allowed by your pitching staff

We will have a concession stand both days.
