Tournament Information
Rules:
8U Division Rules:
This will be a single day event with 3 timed games, the games will use a Louisville Slugger Blue Flame Pitching Machine. Each batter will have 4 pitches or 3 strikes, in the event a batter looks at the 4th pitch the batter is out. In the event the 4th pitch is fouled the at bat continues until the batter a. takes a pitch, b. swings and misses or c. puts a ball in play. There is no walks in this event. No pitch calls are at the discretion of the umpire.
Inning Run Limit: 4 (except when final inning is declared or always in 6th inning)
Time Limit: 75 Minute no new inning
Dead ball: The play is “dead” or completed when the umpire declares the play over such as returning to the infield and controlled by an infielder. This is a judgment call to keep with the spirit of development of youth softball players. Note that the infield completing a play does not end a play on the bases already in process. If a runner is more than 1/2 the way to the next base they get that base and no more.
If a batted fair ball hits any part of the pitching machine without touching any defensive player first, the ball is immediately dead. The batter will be awarded first base. All other runners return to the base that they occupied before the ball was hit unless forced to advance as a result of the batter being awarded first base. If a batted fair ball is first touched by a defensive player and then hits any part of the pitching machine, it is a live ball.
Mercy Rule: The “10-run Rule” is in effect after an official game (3 1/2 innings)
