FLORIDA STATE CLUB TEAM TOURNAMENT

                         ( Continued from previous page )

 

4. Clubs may submit names of alternate players along with team entries in case one or more of their team entries cannot participate at the time designated for the tournament. If any team fails to field the required number of players, no scores will be allowed for the absent players. Player substitutions not permitted after play begins.

 

5. Team entries must be received by the Tournament Director no later than the third day (Wednesday) before the tournament.

 

C. Tournament Set-up and Conduct:

 

1. Classes will consist of 6 players each, pitching 40-shoe count-all games.

 

2. First to pitch each game: The two players in each game will flip a shoe(s) or otherwise agree as to who will pitch first.                      

 

3. Calling the score: The player who pitches first in the game will call the score to the scorekeeper each inning by announcing first his or her score and then the opponent’s score.

 

4. The double alternate method will be employed to determine which player pitches first in each inning.

 

5. Inasmuch as it is possible, the Tournament Director will ensure that no more than one player from a given team is assigned to a given class. The Tournament Director will also ensure that a minimum number of players from a given club are assigned to a given class.

 

6. All players will be handicapped based on their ringer percentages using the 100% Count-All Handicap table approved by the Executive Council.

 

7. Play will begin at 9:00 A.M and continue until the winners are determined. In case of inclement weather which prevents completion of at least one half of the games for each team, the tournament will be rescheduled. If half, or more than half, of the games are completed for each team, the winners will be determined based on the scores available for the same number of games for each team.

 

8. In case total team scores are tied for first place, the combined team entering ringer percentage will be compared to the actual pitched combined team ringer percentage, and the most over ringer percentage or least under, if none are over, will break the tie. Teams tied for second or third place will each receive one-half the prize money for those two places. Teams tied for third and fourth place will each receive one-half the prize money for those two places.

 

 

 

D. Host club:

 

1. Furnish scorekeepers.
