Thank you for choosing MSCR Softball!
Your league is a 5 team league. Your team will play a modified double round robin schedule with double headers. Each team will play everyone 3 times. Due to the unbalanced halves, the winner of the league will be based on the team record and head to head competition.

Home Run Rule
Each team is limited to 1 over the fence home run per inning. Additional hits over the fence (in fair territory) beyond the 1 per inning will be counted as an out.
Run Rule (AKA Mercy Rule)
Before the time limit expires, a game will be over after 5 innings (4 and 1/2 innings if the home team leads), if either team leads by 15 runs. Note: if the visiting team leads by 15 runs after 5 and 1/2 innings, or 6 and 1/2 innings, the home team will be allowed to begin its' at bat.
After the time limit expires, the game is over immediately if either team is leading by 15 runs; the half inning is not completed.
League Champions:
A league champion will be determined based on the record at the end of the season. Please see the rules for all aspect of declaring a league champion such as ties, etc.
