GENERAL INFO, RULES, ETC.

B League is competitive
Games on Mondays (and Wednesdays if necessary). Start times are 5:40, 7:00, and 8:20.
Location: Loma Alta Park
Paid umpires
10-week season
Address any questions, comments, or complaints about the fields or umpires to Richard Chen. If there is some such problem, contact him the day after the occurrence to ensure prompt corrective action.

B League has its own special Rules. Also, the following supersede those rules:

male:female ratio of 8:2
Cones at 180 feet.
For female batters, if defense has 10 players, 4 must be behind the cones; 9, 3; 8, 2. For male batters, if defense has 10 players, 3 must be behind the cones; 9, 3; 8, 2.
tree on the left-field line: if the ball is stuck in the tree, ground-rule double. Otherwise, hitting the tree is the same as hitting an outfield wall or bouncing on the ground.
12' height limit on pitches. However, pitches may have unlimited height if both managers agree before the game.
Mercy rule: 15-run differential after 5 innings.
