LBSL Softball

To All Teams,

As we enter the fall season, we will be implementing the following rules to address issues observed during the spring season:

1. Rainouts: Only two rainouts will be rescheduled during the season. Any additional rainouts beyond the first two will not be made up.

2. Queen Ann Field – Home Run Rule: Due to the high number of lost balls at Queen Ann, we are instituting a no home run rule at this field. Any homeruns hit will be ruled as an out.

3. Scheduling Adjustments Due to Umpire Shortage: In some cases, we may need to schedule four games on the same field. When this occurs:

   • The first two teams will begin play at 8:00 AM.
   • The second set of teams will begin immediately following the conclusion of the first doubleheader.
   • Each game will have a 1 hour and 15 minute time limit, with no new inning starting after 1 hour and 10 minutes.
   • Any inning that has started will be completed.
   • All games played under these conditions will be considered official.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to ensure a smooth and fair season for all teams.

Best regards,

Bob M
