2) No new inning will begin after the allowed game time limit has elapsed. Games tied after seven (7) innings will only be continued if 5 or more minutes remain on the scorekeeper's clock. Games that end in a Tie will be counted as a Tie in the League Standings.

Please bring exact change - official's are NOT required to carry change. MLS is not responsible to "owe you at a later date" and change does not "roll over to the next week" - please plan accordingly.

7) FORFEIT FEES:  A team will be responsible for paying both team's game fees every time they forfeit, due to insufficient number of legal players at game time. The forfeit fee must be paid on the field at the time of forfeit, if not paid at that time the fee will be $60.00 due before the team's next scheduled game. If the forfeit fee is not paid as defined above the team will forfeit its next game as well & be suspended from the league or dropped.

8) The forfeit fine will not be imposed if a team has enough players to start a game, yet forfeits during the course of the game. Games that have begun, yet due to circumstances cannot be completed due to forfeiture, will have all of the players' statistics recorded. Any team that forfeits more than two (2) games may be dropped from the league.

9) The forfeit fee may be waived* if the forfeiting team notifies Major League Softball, Inc. by the following deadlines: MON-FRI games CALL or EMAIL no later than 3:00 p.m. the day of the game.  SAT-SUN games must be EMAILED IN (only email) no later than 4:00p.m. the Friday prior.

10) UMPIRES & SCOREKEEPERS WILL NOT WORK FORFEITED GAMES.

11) No infield practice or batting practice will be allowed prior to game time. No infield warm-ups are permitted between innings. Pitchers are allowed three (3) warm-up pitches at the beginning a game and one (1) warm-up pitch between innings. (S.C.M.A.F. Rule 4., Section 7.)

12) COURTESY RUNNERS (as of WINTER 2011):  A manager can use a courtesy runner for any batter/runner in an inning.  A courtesy runner may only be used after a batter/runner has reached his/her base and the play is dead.  There is NO limit to the number of courtesy runners that may be used every inning, but a player may only run ONCE per inning.  If a runner is on base when it is his/her turn at bat, an out will be called for failure to bat.  A pinch runner cannot be requested for a courtesy runner.

The opposing manager and/or MLS Official must clearly specify which players' I.D. he/she would like to have checked. There is no limit to the number of I.D.'s that may be checked.The Scorekeeper/League Director will conduct the I.D. check for each player in question to determine if the player or players are on the roster. Players who cannot produce a positive picture I.D., or whose names are not on the computer roster, will be disqualified from play and penalties will be enforced.

ILLEGAL PLAYER PENALTIES: If, at any point during a game, an ILLEGAL player is discovered by any MLS Official and/or Opposing Manager, the Opposing Manager will be consulted as to whether they wish to (A) remove the ILLEGAL player from the game (may result in a team forfeiting if it no longer have the minimum number required to play), or (B) receive automatic WIN by FORFEIT due to cheating. NO EXCEPTIONS / NO DISCUSSIONS.

PLAYOFF & CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES WILL HAVE MANDATORY ID CHECKS ENFORCED FOR ALL TEAMS / PLAYERS INVOLVED. No player will be allowed to participate without a valid Photo ID.

NOTE:The purpose and intent of this procedure is to ensure that all protests involving player eligibility are resolved on the field.

15.0 PLAYOFFS

1) Playoff games will be scheduled the week following the conclusion of the regular league games. All teams involved in playoffs must be ready at the time and location decided by Major League Softball, Inc. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE GRANTED.   If a team goes undefeated & untied there will be NO PLAYOFFS (except in HYBRID leagues, see below).  2nd Place will be determined by win/loss records using tie breaking policy as needed.

2) Due to constraints on field usage, playoffs/championships will only be played if time/field space allows.

3) Playoffs will be assigned as follows:

4 TEAM LEAGUES: NO PLAYOFFS
(unless top teams are tied, then there will be one (1) Championship Game played)

5 - 6 TEAM LEAGUES: TOP 3 TEAMS MAKE PLAYOFFS
#2 seed vs #3 seed
#1 seed vs winner

7 - 8 TEAM LEAGUES: TOP 4 TEAMS MAKE PLAYOFFS
#2 seed vs #3 seed
  #1 seed vs #4 seed
(winner) vs (winner)

9 or MORE TEAM LEAGUES: For 10 week seasons, all teams will play 8 games & then go into a double elimination playoff format. NOTE: Winter season only top 4 will make playoffs.

HYBRID LEAGUES - in a 10 game season, all teams will play 9 games and the 10th game will be played in a playoff format with ALL teams participating. Hybrids are typically made up of two divisions, with inter league play (some variations may occur).  If you are the #1 seed and are undefeated going into playoffs & you lose the "championship" game there will be an "IF" game played directly after, in other words your team must be defeated TWICE to lose. (8 game season, all teams will play 7 games and the 8th game will be playoffs)

4) Tie Breaking Policy:

In the event of a 2 or 3-way tie, MLS will break the tie as follows:

♦ head to head win-loss records between the teams tied
♦ run differential in the games played between the teams tied
♦ total runs allowed

In the event of a 4 to 7-way tie, MLS will break the tie as follows:

♦ run differential in the games played between the teams tied
♦ overall run differential between the teams that are still tied
♦ blind draw

5) Championship games will have a time limit of one (1) hour and thirty (30) minutes, if schedule allows.  Playoff games will have the regular time limit. Mercy rule will be in effect for all Playoff and Championship games.

6) Players MUST HAVE a minimum of nine (9) plate appearances(PA) during the regular season to participate in the Playoff/Championship games (7 PA in an 8 game season).  The number of Plate Appearance for each player is calculated by adding At Bats (AB), Base on Balls (BB) and Sacrifice Flyouts (SAF). PA numbers will be determined solely by the official MLS Dugout Dirt publication and cannot be contested on the field.  NOTE: if your team WON by forfeit during the regular season, 3 plate appearances (PA's) per forfeit WIN will be added to each ROSTERED player to help with the minimum PA's needed for playoff eligibility.  All players must be on your current roster for this to apply.
