'Nuch Rules
The two teams with the best total record out of each division will play in the semi-final round Sunday and the winners of these games will advance to the championship game Sunday evening at 7:00pm. The remaining 10 teams will pair up on Saturday for their Sunday game with a team from the other division. Tie breaking procedures are as follows:
a. Head to head
b. Runs Allowed
a. Runs Scored
b. Coin Toss
In the event of unforeseen problems (weather, lights) the tie breaking procedure will be used for equal number of games, in the order that they were played. The schedule will stay intact. Example: Team A plays 5 games and gives up 9 runs. Team B plays 4 games and gives up 7 runs. Team C plays 4 games and gives up 8 runs. Team A will only count runs given up in the first 4 games. Runs scored will be the last tie breaker before a coin toss.
All games will be 7 innings, the 8 run rule after 5 innings. Championship game will also be 7 innings, with the 8-run rule.
American league rules will be used. DH for the Pitcher Only, speed up for the pitcher and catcher only. Note: If a baserunner does not slide or attempt to get around a fielder who has the ball and is waiting to make a tag or if he maliciously runs into a fielder attempting to field a ball, the baserunner will be out. Player may be ejected. No malicious conduct will be allowed.
Teams will be given 10 minutes for in-and-out or half the time before the start of the next scheduled game. (Starters only unless agreed upon by both coaches).
Home team during division play will be decided by a coin flip 30 minutes prior to game play, with tournament director. (Exception: Pueblo Azteca will be the home team in all 5 of the 9 division games).
Semi-Final and Championship game home teams will be decided by the higher seed. If both number 1 seeded teams for each division play in the championship then the home team will be decided by the Coin Toss.
