The official rules for the Red Hook Brooklyn Dodge YMCA League have not been posted yet, but after the
manager's meeting, the following decisions were made:
- All players must play 3 regular season games to be
eligible for the playoffs. We have ordered lineup cards so we can
keep track of this (stay tuned for more details). This will be the only proof
of attendance accepted by the league.
- Line-up Requirements: All teams must field at least three women. However, a
team will be permitted to play with two women in the field once during the season
without being penalized. The second time a team plays with 2 women they must play
with nine fielders and can not replace that spot in the field or use the Extra Hitter (EH)
position. As well as their opponent will have the option of using 2 women in the field.
Upon the third offense the offending team will forfeit the game. A team may pinch hit for
a woman with a man at any time during the contest, providing they have another roster
eligible woman to play the field in the next defensive inning. Any team that forfeits
a game must pay the umpire the full $50.00 umpire fee. (including pick-up games)
- If there is an issue with rule interpretation or application by an umpire, you may file
a formal protest before the next legal pitch of the game for a $20.00 deposit. If you win
your protest the game will be replayed from the point of the protest and your $20.00 refunded.
If you lose the protest the result of the game will stand and your deposit forfeited.
NOTE: Issues of umpire opinion (ie balls and strikes) can not be protested.
(You must file a protest before the next legal pitch, the umpire must be aware that you
are protesting. Both you and the umpire should sign the game book to formally record the protest)
- Reminder NO SLIDING, and no dive backs!!
