What's New for
2008
The Disc:
We will be using a 3'
disc at home in place of the strike zone. The disc is placed
directly over home plate and is treated as home throughout the play
of the game.
Pitchers:
A legally delivered
pitch must have an arc with a minimum of 6'
from the ground and no
greater than 12',
and must hit any part of the disc.
Batters:
The batter may step on
or over the disc to hit a ball. The batter may NOT
cross the white line
in front of home plate and should treat it as the front line of a
traditional batter's box.
NOTE:
A pitch delivered too
high or too low will be vocalized as "ILLEGAL" by the
umpire. The batter may
choose to swing and play resumes.
Co-Ed
Walks: All
walks to a male player will result in 2 bases. Women following a
walked man must bat unless there are 2 outs and then she has a
choice take first base or bat.
Co-Ed
Tags: All plays
at home plate must be treated as a force. Any runner that passes
the commit line (between third and home) must be treated as a
force. No tags allowed
between the commit line and home.
Post Season
Play: In an
effort to keep costs affordable (field usage and utility fees have
increased) and to help keep our scheduling fluid there will be no
Post Season Playoffs for spring season. Our primary season (Summer)
will have Post Season games scheduled. (weather permitting of
course.)
**These changes
are for the 2008 season only. Prior to the 2009 season we will take
a vote to determine if we continue with the changes or return to
our traditional strike zone.
