He/she may play in subsequent games. All players must participate in at least 1 of first 3 games to be eligeable for championship.

2. AT-BAT POSITIONS - Bat from home plate. Teammate pitches from anywhere in front of "The Line" or its extensions. One foot of batter must remain behind home plate at all times.  Only 3 pitches are allowed.

3. FIELDING POSITIONS - Fielders may play anywhere past "The Line" or its extensions.

4. HITS
A) Ball hit into fair territory on the fly without being caught by fielders.

C) Fielder crossing "The Line" or its extensions when attempting to catch the ball (see Rule 12).

B) If tied at the end of the four innings, play an additional inning to break the tie. If still tied, play one more.
C) If still tied after two additional innings, the team with the most hits is the winner. If a tie exists in hits, play additional innings until the tie is broken, either by hits or by runs. Runs take preference over hits in this situation. If at the end of any inning a team has an 11 run lead, the game is over.

10. UMPIRING/ SCORE KEEPING
