WOLCOTT FALL LEAGUE GAME PLAY AND GENERAL FALL LEAGUE RULES

All games will be one hour and fifteen minutes - GAMES ARE DROP DEAD AT 90 MINS (1:15) No new inning will begin after one hour and fifteen minutes. Teams are encouraged to set a timer to mark the 1 hour (60 Min) time and call last inning so games will end on time - All games must be kept on track and games must start at the scheduled times. The clock begins with the first warm-up pitch and all teams are responsible to set a clock to keep them on time with the umpires time.
Teams have the option to play out a game without “Dropping Dead” if they prefer and can do so by calling last inning at the 60 Min mark. Under this scenario no new inning should start after 60 Mins. If teams opt to go this route they will need to specify this with the umpires during ground rules and both teams head coaches must agree. When this option is used, if the game has not ended at 1:15 mins the game MUST "Drop Dead'.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will a game go past the 1:15 min mark and all games MUST start at the specified times.
The SITE DIRECTOR at all locations will do all they can to keep games on time - ALL DECISIONS REGARDING GAME START AND END TIMES BY THE SITE DIRECTOR ARE FINAL. Unless otherwise directed by the site director - all games will start at the specified times on the league schedule. If the game prior runs over the time listed on the league schedule, the next game time will be shortened on that field (IE: The league scheduled time slots still stand) - so please make certain games start and end on time to ensure teams get the proper start times.
There is NO Run ahead rule – We do ask teams to be gracious and not unreasonably run up scores – the intent of fall league play is to get live innings in so please work with opposing teams in all games. Please institute a run rule per inning if applicable to keep the scores in check.
No league standings will be kept
