HR Rules /Time Limits

Coaches and Players Please Read!

We appreciate your participation in this event. We value your patronage to USSSA.  

If at any time during a game in this event, you feel the need to speak with a director, for any reason, please inform your umpire. He or She has been instructed to grant your request. This request needs to come from the coach. Do NOT let the game continue. We cannot fix anything after play has continued. This does not mean anything other than you will be able to speak with a director. Erroneous rule interpretations may be corrected. Judgement calls are always at the discretion of the Umpire.
