Game Length:
All games, including play-offs are scheduled for 7 innings. All games will also have a 2 1/2 hour time limit. No new inning will start after this time but the current inning can finish. Extra innings are permitted in the round robin as long as the 2 1/2 hour time threshold permits this to happen.
Exception: 10 run mercy rule will apply after 5 innings (4½ with home team ahead) or any subsequent inning. In this case, the winning team will still be credited with seven defenisve innings played for tie breaking purposes.
**NOTE: In the event of rain, the organizers reserve the right to change these rules, including, if necessary including time limits and that games may end in a tie.
Designated Hitter:
Permitted for pitcher only.
Rosters:
With the new OBA Rule now in place, teams are allowed to bring 30 players to tournaments. Teams may only roster 25 players per game maximum. All players are required to sign in on your team sign in sheet and sheets are submitted to tournament personnel on that weekend.
Ejections:
Ejections will be for the game and the next one based on OBA Rules. If a more serious offence is committed, the penalty will be adjusted accordingly. Pursuant to the OBA Senior AAA rules, a coach or manager may request that the extra game suspension be removed for non-offensive ejections.
Seeding:
The top team in Pool A and Pool B will advance to the semi-finals along with the top two teams from Pools C & D combined . Semi-Final matchups have already been determined as per the schedule. Ties will be broken using the regular tie breaking methods. Head-to-head result will be used first. If this is not applicable, the order for the next tie breakers are defensive run ratio (runs/defensive innings played), offensive run ratio (runs/offensive innings played), then run differential (+/-). If the tie is not resolved after that then a coin flip will be the last resort to break the tie.
Runner for the Catcher:
This will not be permitted during the tournament as per OBA rules.
OBA Rules:
Except as set out above, OBA Senior AAA rules will apply.
