| May 13 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | playing with 8 tc4whlr ... You may want to continue reading §4 ... There is no provision in the Official SSUSA rules regarding the "courtesy catcher" ... __________ §4.4 • SHORT-HANDED RULE This rule may be used with the following requirements: A. If a team begins play with the required number of players as listed in §4.3(1) or §4.3(2) above, that team may continue a game with one less player than it started with provided no eligible substitute is available, whenever a player leaves the game for any reason other than ejection. NOTE: Under no circumstances shall a team be permitted to bat less than nine (or ten in men’s 70+ and older or women’s senior divisions). A forfeit will be recorded. |
| May 14 stick8 1992 posts | playing with 8 tc4whir, If nine players are required to start a game and team A has only 8 players and lets say team B has 11 there are many local house leagues (men’s, women’s, coed and senior) that will allow team B to supply a catcher when team A is in the field. Some leagues would leave it up to team B. Other leagues simply won’t allow it. Personally I always make sure whatever the rule is, that it’s in writing. |
