Year-End Tournament Schedule 

All games will follow standard ECRSA regular league rules, with the following tournament-specific ones:

• Each game will be 90 minutes in length. No new innings to start when 10 minutes are remaining to play.
• If the game is tied after the completion of 7 innings or the expiration of time, teams will follow this format:
  • The team that is up to bat will start the inning by placing their ‘last out’ from the previous inning on second base, with two (2) outs. Once three (3) outs have been reached, the other team will then place their ‘last out’ from the previous inning on second base (also with two (2) outs) and proceed to bat until three (3) outs are reached. Teams will take turns doing this until the score is settled upon the completion of a full inning.
• The home team is the highest regular-season seed. The expectation is that if a second game is required during the championship, home designation will flip to the other team for game 13.
• Mercy rule is 15 after 5, 10 after 6.
• A team must be made up by a majority of its registered roster (ie, 6 players); otherwise, the team will forfeit the game. If desired, others may join the team for a fun game during the scheduled time; this fun game must end 10 minutes before the next scheduled game. No exceptions.
• If spares are needed, the team may have no more than 10 players total. 
• If an injury occurs that would drop a team down to less than 10 players mid-game, that team may replace the player immediately with another available player. Or ask the opposing team to field a catcher in their place.
