UPDATE 23/6
Game Schedule
I guess we might as well declare the first game a walkover now since we'll only have abt 5 people who'd show up on time anyway.
Here are the rules for this tournament
Tournament Softball Rules
1. Tournament begins at 845 AM. Registered players are to pay $5 for registration, and an additional $5 if they are staying for the barbecue
2. All wins are worth three points. All ties worth two points. Losses earn no points.
3. Each division will have one (1) champion. In case of two-way tie in standings, revert
back to games played between tied teams. If A beat B only one game played
between them, A is champion. If three or more teams are still tied, the team allowing
the fewest runs will advance. If teams are still tied, the team with the most runs will
advance.
4. A game ends when any of the following occurs:
• Five full innings are completed; or
• The time reaches 1hr 30 min
• Or Lighting or weather conditions make it unsafe to continue the game.
3. The defensive team shall field nine players, including a catcher, with one substitute.
4. The offensive team shall bat all players present at the game in an order that is
predetermined by the team’s coach or coaches. The batting order shall not change
during the game.
5. Team Captains are to select or themselves serve as umpires.
6. All players shall play in every game.
7.All Teams playing against the C team boys play with a nine run handicap.
8. No walks. A hitter will bat he she strikes out, fouls out or bats the ball into fair
territory. A team’s turn at bat ends when three outs are recorded by the defense.
10. A legal pitch is a pitch that is delivered
• With an underhanded motion
• With an arc of 5 feet.
• With a speed at a medium/ slow speed deemed suited for Saturday Softball non-competitive games by the Umpire.
11. The Strike Zone is enforced in the tournament. The Strike Zone is that space over home plate which is between the batter's armpits and the top of his knees when he assumes a natural stance.
12. There are no bunts in the tournament rules. All intentional bunts count as automatic
outs. A bunt is a batted ball not swung at, but intentionally met with the bat and
tapped slowly within the infield.
13. Infield flies are enforceable in the tournament. The Infield Fly Rule will be in effect when there are less than two outs and
• there are runners on first and second or
• the bases are loaded
The umpire will announce, “Infield Fly” when one of the above conditions exists and a batter hits a pop-fly in the infield. Please note that an infield fly is a judgement call by the umpire and NOT subject for controversy. When the Infield Fly Rule is declared, the batter is automatically OUT. The ball is alive and runners may advance at the risk of the ball being caught. The runner may also tag-up and advance after a defensive player has touched the ball.
14. Captains are encouraged to remain on the playing field at all times to instruct and keep the game fair, friendly and safe.
15. This is a non-competitive division. Captains should focus on sportsmanship, fun, enjoyment and playing to the best of your ability. That way, teams stay together longer.
ADDITIONAL RULE :
FOUL BALLS: INFIELD --> WHERE THE BALL ENDS UP/STOPS/DIES/FINISHES/HALTS, OUTFIELD --> WHERE THE BALL LANDS
UPDATE 22/6
Lloyd just informed me that there is only 10 medals for first place and 10 for runner's up. So it would be best if we can send 2 teams, rather than just 1 and have 10 ppl sitting on the sideline. I hope everyone can arrive on time so that we can decide on the spot to enter 2 teams or just 1.
UPDATE 21/6
Those who replied, your names have been submitted to the guard house at the school, please register when you come in. Just tell them you are from the NUS team coming for the softball camp. If there are any problems, call Lloyd or Alvin.
