Due to field maintenance requirements, teams are NOT permitted to warm up on the infield.  Please use the outfield and sideline areas for pre-game warmup routines.

1. Pool Play Game Length / Time Limits:
   • 9U-11U: 6 innings / 1 hour and 45 minutes
     • NO NEW INNING will start after 1 hour and 45 minutes. 
   • 14U & 15U: 7 innings / 2 hours

     • Games may end in a tie in pool play once the time limit is reached.
     • When the time limit is reached after an inning has started, the game will end immediately if the home team is ahead or scores the go-ahead run in the bottom half of the inning or when the inning is completed.
   • At the start of the game please verify/document the official start time with the umpire and opposing coach in order to avoid any confusion.
