Here's a refresher on the 2015 Millennium Sunday Fall Softball League's TIME LIMIT bylaw for teams participating in the "C", "D" & "E" Divisions.
EXCEPTION: Please see Rule 8, (a) below.
Note: It is highly recommended that all teams have a copy of the league's rules and regulations with them every week in the event the umpire needs them to make a ruling.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. TIME LIMIT: Millennium Sunday Fall "C", "D" & "E" Divisions teams ONLY - A new inning will not begin after one hour from the start of the game. Time begins after the ground rules are taken with the umpire.
Note: The only time a new inning will start after one hour is if a minimal of 5 innings have not been played, which is needed in order for the game to be official and when the game is tied - when it will then be continued using the international tiebreaker rule until a winner is determined.
a) The exception to the use of the TIME LIMIT bylaw in the Millennium Sunday Fall "C", "D" & "E" Divisions is the following:
When a doubleheader is not preceded or followed by another doubleheader there will be no time limit and in all playoff series.
b) Three warm-up pitches to start a game, after which at the beginning of each ½ inning, no more than one warm-up pitch.
c) No infield or outfield warm-up ball after the first inning.
