  2. All players are to use the tee until the mid point of the season (April 14). During the second half of the season, it will be the coach's discretion. Each player will be allowed a maximum of six swings in any combination of tee and pitches.

  3. Base runners will be limited to the base they are going to on an overthrow.  However, on batted balls to the outfield, runners may advance until the ball is returned to the vicinity of the infield.  Once the ball is in the infield, all play stops.

  4. All batters on the roster shall bat in each inning. However when plays are made, outs are to be recorded and the retired batter-runner leaves the base.

  5. The home team managers of the first and last game do Field maintenance each game day.
