  • Bracket games will be scheduled for 75 minutes – complete the inning. The ITB will be used to break game ties at time limit or after 7 innings in bracket play only. The championship games will have a 90-minute (1 hr-30 mins) time limit and will use ITB if tied after 7 innings. Teams must be prepared to play up to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled game time.
  • Coin flip will determine choice of home or away during pool play. In bracket play, the higher seed will have choice of home or away in each game. If 2 teams of the same seeding play, then there will be a coin flip.
  • Teams have the option to use 2 AP (Additional Players) along with the DP/Flex rule for a 12-person line up. Roster batting can also be used for both Pool and Bracket play, but short-handed rules will apply.
  • A courtesy runner is permitted for the pitcher and/or catcher. The player who had the last completed at bat (LCAB), if no unused substitute is available, is eligible to be a courtesy runner. This is one time per inning for either the pitcher and/or catcher.
  • USSSA mercy rule will be in effect. 12 after 3 innings, 10 after 4 innings and 8 after 5 innings.
