WSAL Quick Rules Cheat Sheet

  1. Games are 0-0 Count with no courtesy foul.
  2. Double header 6-inning games every Sunday in regular season.
  3. Teams flip a coin to see who is home game one. They will be road game two.
  4. Only 1 ball per game.
  5. Safety Base at Home:
    1. The "committment line" is 30 feet away.
    2. It is a force out at home.
    3. The fielder must use the "fielders plate" and the runner must use the "runners plate."
    4. Once the runner passes this line they cannot go back.
      1. If the runner crosses this line and then turns back, once they cross the line they are out.
    5. If a runner does not touch the "runners plate" they are not safe and can be tagged or forced out until they touch the "runners plate."
    6. If the runner uses the "fielders plate" when there is a play at home the runner is automatically out.
    7. If the fielder uses the "runners plate" when there is a play at home the runner is automatically safe.
    8. If there is no play at the plate and the runner uses the "fielders plate" they are NOT out. However, they must still touch the "runners plate" to be considered safe. If they do not and are tagged out or the fielder steps on the "fielders plate" with the ball then the runner is out.
  6. Team must play with at least 2 females.
    1. If teams only has one female then have to take the out in the 10th hole and they play with 9 fielders.
    2. If a team has zero females then they have to take an out in the 9th and 10th hole and they play with 8 fielders.
    3. There are no forfeits for zero women.
  7. If a ball is thrown wildly and hits the fence it is LIVE.
    1. If the ball gets stuck in a bag or a chair or someone interferes with the ball, then it's dead and the umpire places the runner where he thinks they should be.
  8. If a ball is thrown OVER the fence into the street, the runners get the base they were going to and an additional base.
  9. Any ball hit over the fence in fair territory is a HOMERUN.
  10. On Field 2, a ball that is hit and goes through the OPEN fence in right center field, it is a deadball and considered a homerun.
  11. Ties: There are NO ties in the WSAL. They are stupid and unAmerican.
    1. In the event teams are tied after 6 innings, they will start the 7th (and subsequent innings) with the last batted out on 2nd base. This can be a male or female if they are the last batted out. This is the "International Rule."
  12. Dates of Roster Lock
    1. July 19th - Cut off Date for New Players. Meaning players that come into the league after this date WILL NOT qualify for playoffs.
    2. H will lock rosters at this date.
  13. WSL Qualifying Players for Playoffs
