Numbers on Jerseys:

Each member of a team must have a jersey with either a one or two digit number on the back.  If a player is without a number on the back of his uniform he is ineligible to play.  This number may not be duplicated on the lineup sheet.  If there are duplicate jersey numbers the coach must determine which member will play and which will not in that game.

The batting order is not determined by the players name but rather by his number.  If a player enters the batters box with the wrong number as represented on the lineup card the batter may be called out.

Equipment:
The "B" dead ball is in play for all men's league games.  Any two teams that mutually agree to play with the "A" ball prior to game time may do so.

Team must have 7 roster players to begin the game.  Can pick up 1 or 2 players from the crowd to give maximum of 9 players in active lineup, i.e. cannot pick up player for the 10th spot.  Must have opposing coach's approval for the players picked up.

1-Pitch Tourney only:

Players can only play on 1 team.  Participation in the 1-pitch tourney does not affect eligibility in the league season.
  

On a Player Throwing a Bat:

We will have to use good judgment on the intent of the player! For example; if a player throws a bat out of anger he/she should be ejected immediately from the game. If a player throws the bat unintentionally than a warning to the Coach as soon as play has stopped. The next time the same player throws a bat the play should be called as dead ball batter is out. No advancement of the runners. If there is another offense the player should be ejected from the game.

    This is also were the umpire must use some judgment, if a player throws the bet non intentionally but is clearly a threat to the safety of players, that player should be ejected immediately from the game without warning. If we have warned a player/coach in previous games we are NOT obligated to issue another warning just because it is a different game.  Throwing the bat is not addressed in the ASA rules except if a player throws the bat out of anger, the result is immediate ejection.
