Alcohol. It was made clear that alcohol in the field area is not tolerated at all. If the umpire sees any player with alcohol in the dugout or on the field area, the player will receive a one-year suspension and the team is automatically removed from the schedule with no refund. This puts some burden on the coaches to control their tem, but there is a city ordinance against alcohol in the parks.
1 and 1. Batters will start with a 1 and 1 count and get a courtesy foul.
Digging In. Batters will not "dig in" when they come to bat. Digging in will result in the batter being called out at the umpire's discretion.
Game Balls. The home team will provide two new game balls per game. There after they can provide used game balls that meet the league standard. Failure to provide two new game balls will result in a three-run penalty for the home team.
Safety Base. At first base there are now two bases. This is for the safety of the first baseman. On plays at first, the runner must go for the outside base (should be colored in orange), while the fielder uses the inside base. On any play that is an extra-base hit, the runner can step on either bag.
NOTE: WITHOUT QUESTION IF YOUR TEAM'S BALANCE (OR YOUR ROSTER) IS NOT TO BRYAN BY THE DESIGNATED DATES, YOU WILL GET TO PLAY YOUR GAMES, BUT WINS WILL BECOME A LOSS NO MATTER WHAT. THIS INCLUDES A CHECK BOUNCING (plus bank fees).
