2021 MSBL World Series 

COVID Protocols 

• All Stadiums – All players and spectators must wear masks upon entering and leaving the  Stadium. Masks are to be worn until the playing field is reached. While visiting the restrooms  and restroom areas, as well as concession stands, everyone must wear masks. The same  rules apply to all auxiliary field complexes. 

• Fans, while watching the game, must wear masks while sitting in a group of 10 or more. In a  group of 10 or less, they can remove their masks. 

• On the field, wearing a mask is an option to the players but should be strongly considered. • All players to have their own masks available to them at all times. 

• Dugouts: 

• 6 foot social distancing must be maintained. Players can spread out, outside the dugouts and  stands if necessary. Best to have the next 4 hitters in the lineup remain in the dugout and all  others remain outside. Highly suggested but not mandated. 

• All players/teams at this point, should be fully educated on Social Distancing and to do what  they are supposed to do. You must implore everyone to be diligent. 

• No Sharing of Equipment. Any disinfectant must be team provided. 

• All Managers and umpires must wear masks at Home Plate meetings when reviewing ground  rules and exchanging lineups. 

• No Post Game Handshakes (We will leave it to the teams to find an appropriate form of  recognition) 

• Umpires will NOT hold game balls, defensive team will provide balls to their pitchers. After the  3rd out is recorded for each inning, the defensive team will carry the ball back to their dugout and  the offensive team will bring a new game ball out for the next ½ inning. 

• When holding a meeting on the mound all participants need to maintain safe distances from  each other. The meeting would be limited to a maximum of 3 people. 

• Pitcher will not be allowed to go to their mouth between pitches. If this is done, the ball must  immediately be replaced by the defensive team, and the ball discarded. If this happens again, a  balk will be called. If no one is on base, a ball will be added to the count. 

• If a participant were to test positive for COVID, the  team manager MUST immediately report this to the tournament office. That individual player  would need to quarantine himself according to local CA guidelines.

• Team Managers are responsible for leaving a clean dugout after each game. • Players that are not in the field as either a fielder, batter, on deck hitter or base coach, are  encouraged to wear masks if in close proximity to teammates. 

• It is optional for all Base Coaches to wear masks unless specifically in close contact with runners. • If a MSBL official or MSBL appointed field monitor sees an infraction to the above stated rules, a  warning will be issued. A second violation will mean ejection from the game and possible forfeiture of the game.
