Players are expected to hustle on and off the field. Except in a tie, no new inning may start two hours after the first pitch.
- If the game is tied after seven innings, we will use the “Griffin Shoot-Out”. With no outs, the last two batted outs from the previous inning will start the inning on first and second base, (The last out on first). Each hitter will start with a 3-2 count.
All on field discrepencies will be handled by the Umpire-In-Chief. If their is still a doubt, then the Tournament Director will make the final call. There will be no protests.
