Rules:
You must use the bats provided to you with this tournament.  No outside bats will be permitted.  No doctoring of bats.  Team will be disquaified if using a different bat or doctored bat.

The minimum number of players required to play a game with the WIFFLE ball is three – The rules of play are similar to baseball, however there is no base running. Three outs to retire a side, per inning, nine innings per game. In case of a tie, additional innings are played. For a complete inning, both sides must bat.

An out for the batter can be made in three ways:

1. The batter can strike out only if he/she swings at a pitched ball and does not foul tip the third strike. Foul tips count as a strike for the first two strikes only. A foul tip caught in back of the batters box does not count as an out.
2. Fly balls caught in fair or foul territory
3. Ground ball that does cross the line in play will be an out (This line will be drawn on the field of play).

Scoring -

Ball that crosses the single line will be a single.  Ball rolls and hits the fence will be a double.  Ball hits the fence in the air will be a triple, and home run over the fence.

The baseball rules of scoring apply:

Example: A player hits a single – his/her team has a man on first base (imaginary runners). The next player hits a single – the team now has a man of first and second. Third batter hits a home run – three runs score! (The imaginary runners on first and second, plus the home run.)

• A batter earns 1 imaginary base on a single, 2 imaginary bases on a double and 3 imaginary bases on a triple.

• A runner on 1st advances one base on a single, 2 bases on a double and scores on a triple

• A runner on 2^nd base scores on a single, double, or triple.

• A runner on 3^rd base scores on any hit.

Please note that all rules might not be published and will be determined by Tournament director.
This tournament is design to have fun and bring family sports together.
