2009 PARKER STATE TUNE-UP RULES High School Baseball and USSSA rules will be followed except as noted below: Game Times Games are 6 innings for 8 12, and 7 innings for 13 -14. Time limits are 1:45 for pool play and 2:00 for elimination round games. a) There is no time limit for championship games. Run rule stays in effect. Umpires will keep the official game time. Be prepared to play 20 minutes prior to the scheduled game time. We will start games up to 20 minutes early when possible. Start times are up to the discretion of the site director, not the coach. Due to the number of games and limited field space, we cannot accommodate schedule requests. Home Team The home team will be determined by a coin flip for pool play and the Championship Game, and higher seed for the elimination round. Protests There are no protests. All rule questions will be handled on the field as they occur. Scorekeeping The Home team shall maintain the Official scorebook. Both scorekeepers should compare scores after each inning. The Home team scorekeeper will receive the Pitching Log from each Coach prior to the game and will document each teams pitchers on their Pitching Log. Both Coaches will sign both Pitching Logs after each game and then keep their own log. The umpires will have the official game card. a) At the end of each game both coaches must fill out the game card and sign. b) The game card is the official score, so make sure scores and teams are correct before you sign.
