A Tip for this weekend!
Bring some long sleeves for the Fall time Breeze; and Hand out some more….. Kicball is only 4 more Sundays – ouch!
Rules of the week:
1. Q: If the kicker slaps a pitched ball away with their hand, is that a Foul?
A: A deliberate Foul made with the hand or arm results in an OUT for the kicker.
(Also, if the kicker pick ups the ball or stops it with their hand/arm- they are out!)
2. Q: If a runner physically hinders a fielder attempting to make a play, what is the appropriate call?
A: If the Referee judges the interference to be deliberate and unsportsmanlike, this should be treated as Interference per Rule 15.02b: the play ends, the runner is out, and other runners must go back unless forced forward.
3. Q: When a runner misses a base, or leaves base on a caught ball before it is first touched, and the play ends without the runner returning to retouch the base, or without the fielding team putting the runner out, should the fielding team "appeal" the play by holding the ball at the missed or vacated base once the play is concluded?
A: No. After the play has concluded, any Ref that witnessed a runner miss a base or leave one prematurely may call the runner out at that time, without the formality of appeal (see Rules 10.05, 14.02f, l, and m). Any Out so called is applied as of the end of the play.
Note that any runner leaving a base before a pitched ball is kicked is immediately out (see Rules 10.03 and 14.02g).

Final Thoughts
Just a reminder: Playoffs will start the Sunday after week 8. On playoff Sunday we will be having the 1st games start at about 12:00pm. If haven’t already done so, check out the playoff schedule and plan your day accordingly. Games will be running from 12pm till about 430ish (to battle daylight savings time). Seeding will be based on season record and nothing else. The following Sunday will be the final four games, championship game and All-Star game.
