***Managers, please text scores to Brad EACH NIGHT. I cannot update the site/standings w/out the results of each game. Failure to do so will result in incomplete games and automatic losses if there are no scores reported
-Teams will get 2 days to reschedule games for the entire season (then forfeits)
-Teams must call/text Brad to reschedule 24 hours prior to game time. You cannot call the same day as a game - this is a forfeit.
-Teams are allowed to forfeit 2 days (after that, they will be ejected from the league w/ NO refund)
---If you forfeit, you are responsible to still pay the umps for BOTH teams that day ($24/game total). You may not play another game until this fine is paid to Brad.
+Playoffs will consist of best of 3 series'
***Decisions on game days regarding weather are made by Pony usually around 5-5:15 pm during the week. Please do NOT call or text Brad or Pony regarding games being canceled for that day. We will let you know AS SOON AS a decision is made. Texts will be sent out to teams playing that day, and a message will be posted on the Facebook group page and on this website!
***Umpires will have final say to settle ANY in-game disputes. If there is an issue at the field, discuss first w/ the umpire present that game OR w/ Pony who is at the field. The only time you should contact Brad is to report final scores each night or to reschedule a game, that's it!
***If there are any updates to the schedule throughout the season, Brad will text the Team managers and alert them to check the website. Rainouts/Reschedules will be plugged in throughout the season so please continue to check the website weekly for any updates!
Thanks and Good Luck to all teams this year!
