​RULES:

2022 PEI Firefighter Softball Tournament Rules

  1. 5 runs allowed per inning. 10 run rule is in affect after the 5th inning.
  2. Each team will be allowed 1 Homerun per inning, anything after that in the same inning will be a single with all runners advancing 1 base (forced or not)
  3. Home team will be decided by a coin toss until the first game of playoffs, at which time the highest seed will have the choice of home or away. Teams will not be allowed to play for +/- after the game has ended (ie Home team winning after the top of the 7th inning cannot bat the bottom to gain +/-)
  4. It is mandatory for teams to be at diamonds 15 minutes prior to their assigned start times, ready to play.
    1. This means if your scheduled start time is 10:00AM, you must be at the diamond by 9:45AM and ready to play, if a warm up is required please do so off the field as previous reaches its final inning.
  5. A scoring line and commitment line will be used at home. You must be standing on home plate for the out to be made, this will always be a force play.
  6. This means no tagging the runner after they cross the commitment line. If a runner steps on mat or plate runner is out.
  7. Your foot must be down across the line to be considered a run before the ball gets to catcher on plate/mat.
  8. Maximum number of players on the field is 10.
  9. If at the end of the 7th inning or last inning a game is tied, it shall be resolved by playing additional innings until tie is broke.
