  1. Regular season series consist of 3 games. Home team to arrange day:

    Home team required to submit to entire league within 24 hours of series completion the following info for both teams….

    1-moves, 2- starting pitchers, 3- relief pitchers plus inning pitched, 4- injuries.

  2. Home team provides the 20-sided dice for splits

  3. All dice must land on playing surface( a roll or throw, not a drop). Also one of the dice must be a different color than the other two (for clarity)

  4. Switch hitters bat opposite to pitcher's throwing arm

  5. The commissioner and the integrity committee, reserve the right to declare games forfeited
    or replayed in cases where league integrity is not being maintained -
    any team that uses an ineligible player will forfeit the game

  6. Games that cannot be played during scheduled week must be played early in the following week. If this is not possible, contact commissioner

  7. All batter and pitcher cards will be placed in such a way so as to be visible to both managers

  8. Managers make the call on all * baserunners

  9. Whenever there is a Home Run/Flyout split (from cards or ballpark chart) the outfielder's defensive ability may be challenged, and it can make the difference between a home run and a flyout. The rule comes into play when you roll the 20 sided dice to see if it is a home run. If the last number in the home run range or the first number of the fly out range is rolled then the outfielder's ability will be checked with another roll of the 20 sided dice. Refer to the following chart to determine which outfielder has a chance for the catch.

 
Batter Last # in HR range First # in flyout range
Lefty Right Fielder Center Fielder
Righty Left Fielder Center Fielder

For instance, if the home run range is 1-14 and you roll a 14 or a 15 on the 20 sided dice, then you must roll the 20 sided dice again and refer to the following chart to determine the outcome:

Outfielder's Rating Home Run  Fly Out
1 1-3 4-20
2 1-7 8-20
3 1-11 12-20
4 1-15 16-20
5 1-19 20
