How Hitting League Works:
When teams arrive, they are required to fill out a score sheet and designate a batting order. Five minutes will be designated prior to each scheduled game time for players to take warm-up swings. All games will start on the hour, so, if you want your swings, get here early!
Each player will have 2 swings per at-bat. To be credited with a hit, the batter must hit the ball into one of the designated hit areas marked on the cage walls. A player will also be credited with a hit on a one-hop bounce to the end of the cage. Once the umpire has awarded a hit, a “ghosty” runner will occupy the base for which the hit was recorded. “Ghosty” runners will then be pushed as far as the following hitters in your line-up can push them (i.e. if there is a runner on first and a double is hit, it’s now second and third). Umpires will be in charge of keeping track of the runners on base. The team on offense will be responsible for recording your at-bats, hits, and runs scored each inning based on the umpires ruling. The team on offense continues to hit until 3 outs have been recorded. When the third out is made, ghosty runners are cleared and a new inning begins.
When the timer runs outs, the current inning is finished and the team with the most runs wins!!
Hitting League Rules:
- One game will be played at each designated time slot with teams in separate batting tunnels.
- All games will be 25 minutes in length.
- Helmets must be worn in cages at all times.
- Each team is required to show up 10 minutes before their scheduled game starts. This allows time for warm-up swings and time to complete your teams line up card.
- Teams will be made up of 5-8 players. You may register an entire team, or contact Baseball Kingdom if you would like to register as an individual.
- Each team is required to hit with at least 4 players during the game. If a fourth player is not present, an automatic out will be taken at the missed plate appearance each time thru the batting order during the playoff week.
- Players may not hit out of order. If a player hits out of order, he is automatically out and runners must return to their positions prior to the at bat.
- Individual and team stats will be kept throughout the league to determine league leaders in each statistical category.
- Each team is responsible to submit their own completed and accurate score cards after each contest. If scorecards are found to be inaccurate, all stats for involved team will be void.
- Teams will participate in playoff week. This will be the last week of the league and will be run as a single elimination playoff. If a tied occurs in the playoffs – each team plays 1 additional inning. Tie breaker innings will start with the bases loaded and 2 outs.
Playoff week is single elimination – play until you lose format!!
