Run rules
Ok, what do different areas use for their league rules for a run rule victory.
In my area different leagues use different rules, by waiver from the state association. We have 1 that for Varsity is 15-3, 10-5, but for JV is 15-3, 8-5. One is simply 15-10, 10-5 for all levels. Yesterday we had a different one as well, 15-3, 12-4, 8-5. (both games ended under the 12-4 rule). |
Here are the Wisconsin run rules. Note a change from the regular season to the state tournament:
Regular Season Rule 4-2-3 A game will end when after five innings a team is ten or more runs behind and has completed its turn at bat. Note: The Ten Run Rule must be used in all tournament games except the four State Championship games. Rule 4-2-3 By conference agreement or mutual agreement by both head coaches prior to the start of the game, a game may end after 3 innings if a team is 15 or more runs behind and has completed its turn at bat. State Tournament Except for the four State Championship games, a game will end when after five innings a team is ten or more runs behind and has completed its turn at bat. Except for the State Tournament games (quarterfinal, semifinal and championship games), a game will end when after three innings a team is 15 or more runs behind had has completed its turn at bat. |
It's been a long time since I worked for Nebraska ASA, but when I did, they had maybe the best set of run-ahead rules I've worked for JO play (this included state championship play):
Men's FP was 8 after 5 only. I can't comment on the SP rules. I haven't worked very many tournaments with a setup like that since 2005. It worked very well for keeping a tournament on time instead of dragging blowouts into the 4th or 5th innings. Most of the ball I work is either under NCAA codes (8 after 5) or Arizona HS rules (15 after 4; 10 after 5). |
The Nebraska ASA rules are still the same: 12-3, 10-4, 8-5. The same rules are in place for high school games in Nebraska as well.
