Here's a refresher on Millennium Sunday Bylaws that are sometimes not being followed correctly or misunderstood.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2025 Millennium Sunday Softball League: Rules & Regulations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Extra Player (EP): The 11-man batter rule (EXTRA PLAYER) may be used by any team. Teams may also use 3 EP's and bat up to 13 players. The extra player(s) must be made known prior to the start of the game and be listed on the scoring sheet in the regular batting order. An EP cannot be added once the game has started. If the EP is used, the EP must be used the entire game. The league will follow the USA Softball Extra Player Rule whether a team uses 1, 2 or 3 EP's in a game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The league will only accept a teams scorebook as proof of a player's playoff eligibility.
6. Official Scorebook: Scorekeepers must give their teams starting line-up and any substitutions made with players' names as they appear on the team's roster. If only one team keeps score, then that book will be the official scorebook for the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Courtesy Runner: The league will follow the USA Softball Courtesy Runner Rule.
Note: The league does not allow the use of a Medical Runner.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. "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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reminder: If a team plays with nine (9) players, the tenth spot in the batting order is an automatic out.
