Tournament Tie Breaker:

There will be no regular extra innings played. 

The visiting team will put out the last three players who batted in the previous inning or tie breaker on first, second and third base with the last player going to first and so on.  The visiting team then gets ONE OUT to score as many as many runs as they can.  Once they have made an out, then the home team gets the same chance.  The teams will need to hustle in and out between each tie breaker session and the pitchers will only get two warm up pitches.

This process will be repeated up to three (3) times to try and break the tie.  If after three attempts to break the tie, the dreaded coin flip will determine the winner of the game, with the home team calling the flip.

Three sessions of the tie breaker process will count as one (1) inning pitched.  All pitcher rules for innings pitched will continue to be in effect during the tie breaker process and each session of the tie breaker process will count as one third of an inning pitched.  All regular season rules apply and therefore you cannot re-enter a pitcher who had already pitched during the game, unless they were the pitcher of record after regular play (6 innings) and still had innings left to pitch.  For example, if you had a player pitch the last inning (6th) and that was his/her first inning pitched during that game, he/she could pitch three “tie breaker sessions” which is equal to one inning pitched
