2014 F. R. Feaver Memorial Trophy
The 2014 recipient, Gary Wren, has made a huge difference in the lives of many
people with his teaching, guidance, coaching and mentoring in our game of
softball and made the sport fun. He began his coaching career in 1978 and never
looked back; winning with grace and dignity, always with that big smile on his
face; losing with pride and again with that big smile on his face because he knew
his team had given him their best. His philosophy was practice makes perfect
and, while many teams did not practise, his always did on Sunday.
Gary is a true leader, a committed volunteer, who always put his athletes first,
never afraid to show how proud of each one of them he was and never asking
what is in it for me? He has been involved with many different men’s teams and
youth in this province.
His volunteer work includes being a member of the OASA Executive since 2005,
an OASA Past President, a member of Softball Ontario Long Term Player
Development Committee and Manager of Team Ontario.
Gary Wren is a very deserving recipient of this award.

does not need a release.
2) A player who resides in an area that has no affiliated centre
•
plays for closest affiliated centre (new centre).
•
does not need a release.

must return to the home centre if she/he has not played
with the new centre for at least the two preceding
seasons or
(b) the player chooses to play elsewhere, at which time a
release is required. If the player has played for the new
centre for at least the two preceding seasons, he/she
must get a release from the new centre. If the player has

home centre affiliates, he/she must revert back to the

equally. If a player wants to play in another centre, he/she must
get a release from all teams in his/her centre.

divorced parents may play for the “home centre” of either parent,

Suspension of Play
The umpire shall note the time of suspension of play on account of rain or
other causes; and at the end of 30 minutes he shall have authority to
terminate the game if resumption of play is not feasible (subject to OASA rules
governing suspended tournament games).
Police Protection
Every club shall furnish sufficient police force to preserve order upon its own
grounds, and in the event of a crowd entering the field during the progress of a
game, and interfering with the play in any manner, the visiting club may refuse
to play until the field is cleared. If the field is not cleared within 15 minutes
thereafter, the visiting club may claim and is entitled to the game by a score of

A player found using an illegal bat will be ejected for the rest of the OASA

of the tournament will result in the removal of the sticker.

ALL team members shall be in the batting order.
The fielding team shall be comprised of ALL team members; with a player as
catcher; pitcher; first, second and third base; a right and left short-stop - all
other players play in the outfield.
The batter shall hit the ball off the batting tee placed just in front of home
plate.
A strike shall be called on the batter if he misses the ball; or strikes the
batting tee.
The batter is out after three strikes are called.
A foul ball (on the third strike) shall be called a strike. The batter will NOT be
called out unless the batted ball is safely caught.
If a batted ball does not travel more than a distance of twelve (12) feet from
home plate (and stays in the infield) it will be called a strike. On the third
strike the batter will NOT be out.
The Infield Fly Rule shall NOT be used.
There shall be NO base-running on the third strike.
Base-runners cannot advance a base, unless the ball has been fairly hit by
the batsman.
Three (3) outs OR a maximum of six (6) runs shall constitute an inning by the
team at bat.
The distance between bases shall be 45 feet.
If a bat travels more than six (6) feet the batter is out.

there shall be no running of the bases. (See no. 14.)
When a batter accidentally knocks the ball off the batting tee (when aligning
the bat with the ball on the tee) it is NOT a strike.

The following "3 Pitch" rules are intended to make the transition from
"TEE" Ball to regular SOFTBALL easier for the young player.
Rules for Three Pitch
1.

not be permitted. The pitcher will bat and base-run in accordance with the
batting order (during which time a substitute pitcher will pitch).
2. The pitching distance will be 27 feet.
3. The fielding team's pitcher will play in the field beside the batting team's
pitcher; but may not be closer than 27 feet from the plate.
4. The fielding team's catcher will be used.
5. No walks will be issued.
6. All batters will be allowed three (3) strikes. The batter is NOT out on a third
strike foul ball.
7. NO PITCH - to prevent intentional advancement of base-runners (or batters
swinging at poor pitches) a NO PITCH will be called by the Umpires when
the ball is pitched:
o in the dirt in front of the home plate
o high over the batter's head
o away outside or behind the batter's back
8. Base-runners cannot advance on a NO-PITCH.
9. INTERFERENCE: When the pitcher interferes with the play on a batted or
fielded ball all play is ruled "dead,” players return to their original bases and
a strike shall be called on the batter.
10. Base-runners may steal on any pitch not deemed to be a NO-PITCH.
How to Draw a Schedule!
Ever run into trouble trying to draw a schedule for your league? It's easy if you
tackle the job the right way.
Here is a system developed to encompass as many as 64 teams a season,
splitting them into smaller groups with each group playing a complete schedule
and division winners later playing off.
To keep it simple, let's take a six-team league as an example. Any other number
is just as easy. Write down the numbers from one to six in this fashion, each
number representing a team:
1vs2
6vs3
5vs4
In writing them, you start with one and then write the two, then three, then four
and so on. You find you are writing the numbers in a sort of circle.
102
Now put them down again, but this time, while still starting with No. 1, skip the
No. 2 until you reach the end of the list. Your figures look like this:
1vs3
2vs4
6vs5
Repeat the job, this time jumping from one to four, then one to five, then one to
six:
1vs4
1vs5
1vs6
3vs5
4vs6
5vs2
2vs6
3vs2
4vs3
At this point you have drawn up a complete round robin. Make the last named
team in each case the home team, but to balance things out, transpose the first
game in every second table so that No. 1 isn't always placed first. Your schedule
is now complete for a single round robin.
If you run a second round, use the same list of games but make the first-named
teams the home teams, and then everyone will then have played exactly the
same number of games.
You will find in this schedule that you can play all six teams on the same night,
each group of three games being complete in itself with no team's number ever
being duplicated. Also, if you want to play only one game a night, the schedule
provides a series in which no team ever comes up on two consecutive nights.
Once you understand the principle, you'll find it easy to make schedules for a
league of any size.
This basic formula works for leagues with an even number of teams; but a
schedule for a league with an odd number of teams is just as easy.
If, for example, your league has only five teams, then you make the schedule as
above for six teams.
Then, every time No. 6 comes up, mark that game a bye for the team coupled
with No. 6.
In a seven-team league, make an eight-team schedule and mark a bye every
time No. 8 comes up. In a nine-team league, use a 10-game schedule, marking a
bye every time No. 10 comes up.
That's it! Try it a few times and you'll wonder why you ever sweated over the
job of making schedules.
