The rosters for game play were chosen at random to ensure that each team had a primary position filled and giving student-athletes ample opportunity to compete. For student-athletes coming from the same organizations, we did our best to keep them together and filled in with individual registrants

Student-athletes should plan to arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled check-in time as the event may start prior to the published time. 

The Event's Management Team may modify the number or length of games when necessary due to weather, field conditions, or scheduling issues. This includes modifying the time limit if games get backed up

All teams are required to adhere to local park policies and ordinances. Alcohol and/or tobacco shall not be brought into the confines of the venue. You as an individually are ultimately responsible and accountable for the conduct of yourself, and members of your family

Seven (7) Innings or Ninety (90) minutes. Whichever comes first

*In lieu of this being a Prospect Camp, Event Management, and appointed Team Coaches may alter game play rules so that the game continues up to 7-innings or 90 minutes. For example, if after 3-innings Team A has 12 runs and Team B has 0 and there is still time left to be played, a 5-inning run max may take affect. We consider this as an option to maximize the amount of time on the field for the student-athletes. With teams being put together at random, we have no way of knowing if one team is more dominant that the next* 

1. The Team's appointed Coach shall have a continuous batting order to give each student-athlete a chance to be seen by collegiate collegiate coaches. Where student-athletes are placed in the batting order is at the discretion of the appointed Coach

2. The Appointed Coach may have the option to DP/FLEX: Batting order with the (Flex) listed in the last position in the line-up

DP/FLEX RULES:

• The DP can never play defense only
• The Flex can never be on offense only
• The DP and Flex can never play offense at the same time. If the Flex is going to play offense, they have it do it in the original DP’s position, therefore only one of them can play offense at a time
• The Flex and DP can play defense at the same time. The DP can play defense for any player other than the Flex and no one has left the game
• The player starting DP and starting Flex have one re-entry just as all players do
• Once the game is started with the DP/Flex positions in the lineup, those positions are available for the entire game. Even if the starting DP or Flex has left the game a second time, the position is still available and an eligible substitute can enter the game as the DP or Flex

12 run lead after 3 completed innings or 2 ½ innings if home team is ahead

10 run lead after 4 completed innings or 3 ½ innings if the home team is ahead

8 run lead after 5 completed innings or 4 ½ innings if the home team is ahead
