WOMEN’S PROGRAM
In the Women’s Program a minimum of 9 players can start a game. However an out shall be declared when the 10th position in the lineup is scheduled to bat. A 10th player may be added to the 10th position any time before the end of a game. Any team that starts a game with 10, 11 or 12 players may drop to the minimum of 9 players to finish the game. All vacant spot(s) in the lineup will be declared an out every time that lineup position is due to bat. If a team starts with 9 or 10 players they are not allowed to add the 11th or 12th player at a later time. Any player that leaves the game for any reason may not return to the game. (This does not apply to normal re-entry and substitution)
Exception: A player who has left the game under the blood rule may return.
Note: The defensive team may walk the preceding batter or multiple batters to get to the position or positions in the lineup that is an out due to having started with 9 players or having dropped to 9, 10 or 11 players. No base appeals are allowed when this results in the third out of the inning.
In the Women’s program, the Tournament Director has the option of permitting the following: on a fair fly ball hit over the fence for a home run, the batter and all base runners are credited with a score. The batter and any runner on base does not need to advance and touch the bases. They should go directly to the dugout area. This would eliminate any base running appeals. This includes the four base award.
All playing rules not specifically covered in Rule 13 of this book shall be governed by other rules as outlined in Rules 1 through 11 of this USSSA Rule Book.
