Bulldog Bash Update: Games will start Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday with games at Central Park and Dobbs Creek. Dobbs is just a couple miles from Central Park. This tournament has a high demand if you look at the "Who's Coming" page and to accommodate, again we'll start games Thursday. The more "local" teams meaning not a very far commute have a higher probability of playing Thursday.

14.  Championship games: 2 HOUR TIME LIMIT, HOME TEAM FINISHES LAST AT BAT IF TIME RUNS OUT AND VISITING IS AHEAD. Run Rule is still in effect. Home team will be determined by coin. Tourney Director can change the game time to the regualr time limits from pool games if delays were caused during the day pushing game times back. So for example, 8PM Championship game is pushed back to 10PM based on inclement weather, then Championship gaes time can be changed.

15.  Pitching Rules: Please refer to the rule page
       a. Scorecards must be signed by both team managers to eliminate inning validation problems. (Managers are responsible for meeting the umpires immediately following the game at the pitchers mound.)
       b. If pitching rules are violated and the infraction is detected, the situation will be reviewed. Consequences may  include elimination of a team from the event and suspension for the following year, coaches and/or players ejection.
       c. Tournament director shall have final decision on all tournament questions.

20. In the event of a tie after 6 inning and/or time limit for elimination games – The next inning will start with one out
      and the last batted out will start at 2nd base. This will be the structure for each new inning that is required until 
      the game is won. DURING POOL GAMES, TIME RUNS OUT WITH TEAMS TIED, GAME ENDS IN A TIE.
21. Game times for BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL

22. In the event of a rain out where the games cannot be made up, winners will be declared based on highest seed from pool play that advanced the furthest, either in pool or bracket play. No refunds after 2 games have been played. In the event of rain where 2 pool games cannot be played, 1 pool game will determine seeding into bracket games. In the event of inclement weather where pool are impacted where all scheduled games cannot be played, the top 1st and 2nd seeds of each bracket will be assigned to the championship games. As a last resort if where Sunday games cannot be played at all, trophies will be awarded to the top 2 seeds or the top 2 remaining teams. For example, if the 1st seed played a bracket game and was upset by the 4th seed, however the next round of games are rained out, the 4th seeded team became one of the top two teams remaining and would be awarded a trophy. The format may be changed to lesser time limits or fewer innings to complete the tournament. Coaches and players accept these conditions when entering the tournament. RAIN: In the event of rain, lightning or light failure a game is considered complete after 3 innings have been played (or 2½ if the home team is ahead at that time).

Adverse weather:
In the event of inclement weather we reserve the right to change the schedule and the changes could include weekday play. We will make every effort to get the tournament in. But if conditions dictate, game times, length and format can be adjusted. In the event of a total cancellation (zero games played) a $75.00 administration fee per team will be retained. If only one (1) game is completed, fifty percent of the entry will be refunded. If two (2) games are completed the entry fee will be considered satisfied.

23. Uniforms: Numbers are mandatory, matching uniforms are recommended.
