Here's a refresher on the 2024 Millennium Sunday Fall Softball League's TIME LIMIT bylaw.

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: 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.

a) Three warm-up pitches to start a game, after which at the beginning of each ½ inning, no more than one warm-up pitch.

b) No infield or outfield warm-up ball after the first inning.

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 "Ghost Runner" rule until a winner is determined.

The Exception to the use of the TIME LIMIT bylaw 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. "Ghost Runner" - Starting with the top of the 8th inning, and each half inning thereafter, the offensive team shall begin its turn at bat with the player who is scheduled to bat last in that respective half inning being placed on second base. Exception: Playoff Games.
