A tip for this weekend!
Party hard, and if your mom complains, bring her and teach her flip cup; What’s a better Mother’s day gift than teaching her a game that everybody wins……….Rules of the week:
Starting week 5 we will be utilizing "The Extra Base Option" (Introduced & Enforced this Week)
This is due to the high collisions we have been having at 1st base. For now on, there will be a regular 1st base for fielders and an (extra base) right outside 1st base in foul territory for runners from home plate.
1.06 - Optional Extra Base – The option of using this field setup must be made by the division board of directors each season via formal vote and approval at a scheduled meeting prior to the third week of games played. Once use is approved, this extra base must be used for all games of that division season and division tournament games. If the extra base is used:
a. The Extra Base is only available for runners traveling from home plate (see Rule 10.06);
b. Fielders trying to make an out on first base must touch the base in fair territory (the First Base). Runners hindered by a fielder touching the base in foul territory (the Extra Base), will be safe;
c. When a play is attempted at first base, a runner who touches the First Base prior to being called safe at the Extra Base shall be called out, except under the exception in Rules 1.06f and 1.06g;
d. Once a runner has reached first base safely the runner must start the next play on the First Base. Any runner standing on or touching the Extra Base at the beginning of the next play will be out;
f. The runner is permitted to use the First Base if avoiding collision with a fielder in foul territory. In this event, the fielder in foul territory is permitted to tag the Extra Base (see Rule 14.02o);
g. The runner may use First Base if attempting to advance to Second Base, or if there is no fielder on First Base. A runner (see Rule 1.06a) using or touching First Base in any other circumstance is out.
Zak's extra base rule explanation - The only time it really matters is when there is a play at first. The one in fair territory is for fielders, foul territory for kickers. On a play at first if the fielder goes for the foul base the runner is safe, if the runner goes for the fair base they are out.
