900 Morrison Drive, Suite 204 Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8K7 T. 613 783 2000 X307 E. [email protected] www.slopitch.com WELCOME TO THE 2016 BALL SEASON! Welcome to the 34th year of operations for the SLOPITCH.com family of leagues. This year we have made a few changes to our slo-pitch programs. The NCSPL format was adjusted and now is a Mens Recreational League only. Additionally their season was extended from 30 to a 36 games with no gaps. The ONSPL continues to be one of the largest slo-pitch leagues in Ontario and the OCRSPL has grown so much we needed to split it into two divisions. We are also happy to have Don Mantha take on the role of our Umpire in Chief (UIC) for the upcoming season. Don brings a wealth of slo-pitch knowledge and experience to our program and we excited to have him involved with our program. Like last season, each league will be getting its own website for upcoming events, schedules, game score entry and standings. More information on the websites will be sent out to all members late April. ONSPL – http://onspl.slopitch.com NCSPL – http://ncspl.slopitch.com OCRSPL – http://ocrspl.slopitch.com Unchanged from last season, the ONSPL, NCSPL will operate under the SPN (Slo-Pitch National) guidelines and rulebook while the OCRSPL will again operate as an SPO league (Slopitch Ontario). The SLOPITCH.com sponsorship program continues to be a great success! The league proudly supports our local community through the designated Ottawa Special Olympics Softball athletes. Teams, individual players and business sponsors all benefit from the discount program available to carded league members. Sponsorship is provided to all registered league members. 2015 brought in a new partner late in the season and they are back again for 2016. Live 88.5 in combination with the Ottawa Senators Foundation worked with us to put one of the largest tournaments in Ottawa. This year on July 23rd we encourage everyone to come out and meet a few NHL players, play some ball games and help us raise some money for a great cause. As always we will endeavour to visit all teams during the regular season and encourage feedback from league members anytime by phone or by emailing us at [email protected]. Have a great season!

Uniform Rule: During the game, all team members should be wearing matching uniform tops with different, clearly visible numbers. There is no penalty for failure to conform to this rule. 5. All OCRSPL teams were required to pay a $100 Default deposit at the beginning of the Season.

OCRSPL | April 22, 2016 900 Morrison Drive, Suite 204 Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8K7 T. 613 783 2000 X307 E. [email protected] www.slopitch.com UMPIRE CONSTITUTION 2016 For the Ottawa COED Recreational Slo-Pitch League League Convenor: Greg Wheaton NOTE: For the purpose of consistency, the pronoun “He” will be used for any gender references. The items below are specific rule interpretations to ensure consistency from one umpire to the next within the OCRSPL: 1) BATTING LINE-UP the Modified unlimited batting OR Substitution and re-entry rules are permitted. At the start of the game the team captain will declare their selected batting line-up rule to the home plate umpire. The score sheet must show everyone that is present at the start of the game but if someone shows up late, then the team captain MUST IMMEDIATELY approach the home plate umpire and announce the player will be added: i) To the bottom of the line-up, if the team has opted to use Modified unlimited batting, OR ii) As a substitute, if the team has opted to use Substitution and re-entry. A player cannot be added to the line-up / used in the game if that player arrives after the beginning of the 5th inning (first pitch of the top of the 5th inning). Note: The MODIFIED UNLIMITED BATTING rule should not be confused with the Re-entry Rule. This means that a team captain has the option to use everyone on the bench in the starting lineup AND as described above add a player to the BOTTOM of the line-up. 2) COED PLAYER RATIOS Teams are not required to carry an equal number of males and females in the batting line-up but cannot have more than 2 males batting back to back. Teams must field a minimum of 4 girls defensively at any time, thereby maintaining a minimum 5:4 ratio and a maximum 6:4 ratio (men to women). For example: if you have 4 women, you can have a maximum of 8 men. a. DEFENSIVE SUBSTITUTION As there is no limit to how many batters are allowed in the line-up, based on the ratios in rule 2. Players can freely substitute defensive positions at any time provided players are in the batting line-up maintaining a minimum of 4 women on the field at all times. 3) INJURY, EJECTION OR SOMEONE HAVING TO LEAVE EARLY a. Regular Season: Teams MAY COLLAPSE the order only in the event of an injury; therefore there will be NO AUTOMATIC OUT even if the injury brings the number of that team’s players to nine (9). If a player leaves the game for any other reason (ejected or has to leave early), that person’s place in the batting order WILL become an AUTOMATIC OUT or a forfeit if an ejection brings the number of that team’s players below ten (10). • All Teams: MAY START with nine (9) players and receive NO AUTOMATIC OUT. The rule with respect to COLLAPSING a line-up (as applicable 4.a above or 4.b below) would still apply. b. Playoffs: Teams CANNOT COLLAPSE the order and pull someone out of the line-up, at any time, regardless of whether there is an injury, an ejection, or if someone has to leave the OCRSPL | April 20, 2016 1 900 Morrison Drive, Suite 204 Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8K7 T. 613 783 2000 X307 E. [email protected] www.slopitch.com game early. The place in the batting order of the player who has to leave the game WILL become an AUTOMATIC OUT or a forfeit if an Ejection brings the number of that team’s players below ten (10). 2 OCRSPL | April 20, 2016 900 Morrison Drive, Suite 204 Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8K7 T. 613 783 2000 X307 E. [email protected] www.slopitch.com 4) PLAYER EJECTION AND SUSPENSION a. In the regular season, any player ejected from a game must leave the park immediately and will not be allowed to participate in any further games that night. An ejected player will receive an automatic additional one night suspension from the league. b. In the playoffs, as above, any player ejected from a game must leave the park immediately and will not be allowed to participate in the completion of the game. An ejected player will receive an automatic additional one game suspension from the playoffs. c. Ejections/suspensions may be subject to further disciplinary action by the disciplinary committee. SPO Tournament Operating Rules and Guidelines (consult the SPO handbook http://slopitch.org) will govern conduct. Suspended players names (in the regular season) will be published on the League web site, for Team Captains and Umpires to be able to access. All suspensions automatic or otherwise must be served consecutively and cannot be deferred in any form. 5) FORFEIT TIME There is a forfeit time of 10 minutes after the scheduled game start time. Umpires must begin play once each team has at least 9 players. 6) TIME LIMIT NO NEW INNING will start after 1 hour and 20 minutes has elapsed from scheduled game start time (not to be confused with the actual game start time, e.g. if the game’s scheduled start time is 8:00pm and the game actually starts early at 7:45pm then no new inning will start after 9:20pm). 7) TIES STAND Ties will stand during Regular Season and Playoff Round Robin games. 8) GAME FORMAT Games will consist of a maximum of 9 innings. 9) SCORING AND MERCY RULE Mercy Rule is 15 runs after 5 innings. If the home team is up by 15 runs or more after 4½ innings, or any complete inning after, the game is over. Mercy rule is in effect for all games. 10) MAXIMUM SCORING There will be a maximum of 7 runs scored per team per inning with the exceptions of any inning deemed “open” by the umpire. An Umpire will declare an inning open when he or she feels it could be the last inning to be played in the game. In any inning where the mercy rule applies, a team is allowed to score enough runs to bring them inside the run spread (e.g. a team that trails by 22 in the 5th inning will be allowed to score up to 8 runs to get inside the 15 run rule). OCRSPL | April 20, 2016 3 900 Morrison Drive, Suite 204 Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8K7 T. 613 783 2000 X307 E. [email protected] www.slopitch.com 11) HOMERUN RULE The Homerun Rule is the Match +2 Rule. No team can be ahead of the opposing team by more than 2 Homeruns. If a team is +2 in Homeruns, then any subsequent batter to hit an untouched ball over the fence is automatically OUT. 12) FOUR BASE AWARD Any fly ball that is touched by a defensive player that lands over the outfield fence is regarded as a deflected ball over the outfield fence. This constitutes a FOUR BASE AWARD. This is enforced regardless of whether the ball was deflected before the outfield fence or after the ball has gone over the fence. Any Four base award will also be subject to the Walk-Off Rule. 13) WALK-OFF RULE OCRSPL will employ the “Walk-off” rule on home runs and four base awards; i.e. the home run or four base award hitting batter is not required to run any of the bases. 14) CHECK FOR ILLEGAL BATS Check the bats to make sure they are all legal. Mostly, look for pronounced dents and missing tape on the handles to ensure safety. In addition, the umpire may also suspect that a bat is illegal based on performance/sound etc., for this reason The umpire at their sole discretion has the right to remove any bat(s) from any game for any reason at any time during the game. Note: the SPO bat policy can be found at http://slopitch.org/content/approved-bats 15) USE OF A STRIKE ZONE MAT TO ASSIST IN CALLING BALLS AND STRIKES a. Legally Pitched Ball: The pitched ball should arc min. 6 feet but no more than 12 feet above ground. b. The Strike Zone Mat will be placed on ground, completely covering the existing home plate. c. Strikes and Balls: A strike is a legally pitched ball that hits the strike mat or the batter swings and misses or fouls. All other pitches are considered balls. d. Illegal Pitch: When a pitch is very low, then the umpire should call “illegal pitch” and it is an automatic ball. The batter has the option of swinging at the ball and if contact is made the hit counts. If the batter swings and misses it shall be still counted as a strike. 16) COED - HOMEPLATE SAFETY ZONE In all COED divisions, when crossing The Scoring Line a base runner may not enter The Homeplate safety zone. If the base runner enters the Homeplate safety zone, the base runner will be called out. The Home plate safety zone is designated as the batter’s box on the 3rd base side of home plate. It shall be 3 feet in width and extent 4 feet forward of the Scoring Line and 3 feet to the rear of the Scoring Line. OCRSPL | April 20, 2016 4 900 Morrison Drive, Suite 204 Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8K7 T. 613 783 2000 X307 E. [email protected] www.slopitch.com 17) COED – FEMALE BATTERS No outfielder may make a force out either directly or indirectly on the batter-base runner at first base. The intent of this rule is to ensure player safety; any attempts to circumvent the intent this rule may result in team or player penalties. If a female batter hits the ball to an outfielder, and if a defensive line consisting of an arc 175 feet from home plate exists, no outfielder (minimum of four) is allowed in front of the line until the ball is hit. OR If a female batter hits the ball to an outfielder, and if a defensive line consisting of an arc 175 feet from home plate does not exist, no outfielder (minimum of four) may make a force out at first base either directly or indirectly (i.e. via a relay to an infielder or another outfielder). The four outfielders must stand in the outfield. The Infield is determined by the umpire. If in either instance the rule is violated, the team batting has the option of taking the result of the play or an award of one base to the batter and all runners. 18) COACHES AND CAPTAINS GROUND RULES At the Coaches and Captains Meeting, go over ground rules: time allotted, mention the profanity rule, substitution rule, homerun rule etc. 19) INCLEMENT WEATHER In the case of inclement weather, unless the league has posted that games will be rained out before 4:30pm on the league website, all teams are required to show up at their regularly scheduled game. The umpire will wait until the full grace period has expired and if both teams have enough players to play and the umpire feels that the field conditions are unsafe, he/she will call a rainout by notifying both team captains at home plate. Note: If one of the teams does not have enough players to field a team and the field has been determined to be playable, default wins will be awarded to the team that did have enough players. 20) All other rules are governed by the SPO Handbook and Softball Canada rule book.
