Game Format

  • All Slo-Pitch Leagues are self-officiated.
  • All diamond bookings are 1.5 hours in length.
  • Games are 7 innings in length.
    • Some diamonds will have an early and late game. The two captains in the early game must ensure that the game gets started on time and is finished before the start of the late game.
    • Playing extra innings to break a tie is not encouraged, but the captains may decide on this if time permits and there is no late game scheduled on the diamond.
    • A new inning may not be started with less than 10 minutes before the start of the next game.

Season Length

  • The Legends 35+ 8 Week Slo-Pitch League uses the following structure:
    • 6 weeks of regular season games.
    • 2 weeks of playoff games.
  • In cases where rain-outs occur, games are made up via double-headers or season extensions (1-2 weeks).
  • Games are always played on the Monday of long weekend's.

 

Playoffs

  • Playoff Format:
    • All teams are guaranteed 2 playoff games.
    • Only the Top 4 teams will compete for the League Championship.
  • League champs will receive t-shirts that can be picked up from the Season-end Party.
  • There are no ties in playoffs. 
    • If the score is tied at the end of 7 innings, one or more extra innings will be played:
      • Both teams get a chance to hit. If after 1 extra inning the game is still tied, the next extra inning(s) will be played using the “International Scoring Rule".
      • International Scoring Rule: Each team (when at bat) will start with the player who was the final out of the previous inning on 2nd base, then proceed as normal from there.
