Welcome Message

On behalf of the New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges Baseball Committee,

I would like to welcome all of the players, officials and their supporters to the 2011

NSWCCC Baseball Championships.

Players selected from these games will be given the opportunity to represent the NSW

CCC team at the All-Schools State Selections in a “triple-header” against the NSW

CHS and NSW CIS teams at Baseball Park, Gosford on April 3rd

, 2013.

From the All Schools State Selections, a NSW Schoolboys team will be selected to

represent NSW at School Sport Australia in Geelong, Victoria, May 6-11, 2013.

These series of Championships and State selections have contributed to the careers of

some very talented players in Major League Baseball. In past years, a number of

members of the NSW CCC team have signed contracts with Major League Baseball

teams in the USA:

Chris Snelling (Seattle Mariners – MLB debut 2002)

Trent Oeltjen ( MLB debut – Arizona Diamondbacks 2009)

Jason Pospishil (Minnesota Twins)

Jarrod Mangioni (Toronto Blue Jays)

Michael Lysaught (Minnesota Twins)

Lachlan Hodge (New York Mets)

2. DURATION OF GAMES Games shall be played for a duration of two hours. No new innings is to

commence with less than ten minutes to go before the final finishing time. In

the event that the home team is in the middle of the innings at time, and

behind on the scoreboard after the scheduled duration, the game will be

terminated.

A maximum of nine innings shall be played.

3. REGULATION GAME If a game is terminated by the Umpire on account of the weather, darkness or

any other cause, then this will be a regulation game only:

(i) If at least two innings have been played, or

(ii) If at least one half of play time has taken place and at least one innings

is completed.

If The Home team is behind at the time the game is terminated, then the game

score will revert back to the end of the last completed innings. If the Home

team is ahead when the game is terminated, then the score at that time will be

the final score.

4. TIED GAMES If a game is tied at the end of the completed time, or at the completion of

seven innings, then no further play will take place and both teams will be

awarded half a win.

5. ABANDONED GAMES It is an abandoned game when the umpire terminates play on account of

darkness, weather or any other cause which makes it impossible for further

play in the game, and where less than two innings have been completed by

each team or less than one half of playtime has been completed. Abandoned

games are not taken into consideration in determining a team’s final

percentage when deciding positions.

6. WEATHER INTERFERENCE (i) The number of games scheduled to be played may be reduced where weather

or other conditions prevent the completion of the program within the time

available.

(ii) When a number of games are abandoned during a championship, then the

games shall be re-scheduled (if possible) so that each team play as near as

possible an equal number of games.

7. PLAYING CONDITIONS (DETERMINING FINALS)

No final will be played in 2013. The tournament winner will be decided

using the following formula.

At the conclusion of the preliminary games, positions will be decided on a

percentage basis of game - games won

Where two teams are equal on percentages, then the positions will be decided

on the result of the game between those teams. If this game was a tie/draw,

then runs for and against will decide the position - runs for

runs against

Where more than two teams are equal on percentages, then runs for and

against will decide the positions - runs for

runs against `

8. ORDER OF BENCHES AND BATTING The FIRST NAMED team in the official schedule of games will be regarded

as the HOME TEAM, field first and occupy the THIRD BASE dugout or

bench.

9. PITCHING RESTRICTIONS A pitcher’s game contribution will be classified as:

major

substantial OR

minor

according to the rules below.

(i) The word assignment means that each game in which a player pitches is

considered one (1) assignment.

(ii) No pitcher may throw more than 100 pitches for the day.

(a) Under 18 players are limited to 100 pitches.

(b) Under 16 players are limited to 80 pitches.

(iii) Major Assignment Substantial Assignment Minor Assignment

U18 - more than 80-100 pitches 40-79 pitches Less than 40 pitches

U16 - more than 65-80 pitches 31-64 pitches Less than 30 pitches

(a) A pitcher may complete the hitter in which his 100th pitch (U18) or 90

th

pitch (U16) will be obtained.

(iv) Any pitcher who has pitched a major assignment may only be used as a

designated hitter, pinch hitter or pinch runner on the day of that assignment.

(v) A pitcher who throws one substantial assignment may enter the next game as a

fielder but not pitch again.

(vi) A pitcher may therefore only appear twice in one day. Throwing one pitch

in a game will be considered an assignment.

(vii) If a pitcher throws in excess of the maximum allowance then the pitches will

not be credited against the batter at the plate. The umpire will then have the

responsibility of asking the coach to remove the player from the mound. Failure

to do so will result in both the coach and pitcher being ejected from the game.

(viii) No pitcher may play catcher following a major or substantial assignment on that

day or play both pitcher and catcher in the same game.

(ix) Each team is to provide scorers for each game who shall inform the managers

when there are ten pitches to go at the end of each assignment and the umpire

when there are ten pitches to go at the end of a major assignment.

(x) Scorers are to maintain pitch counts for all players occupying a position on the

mound. Failure to produce a pitch count for players who have already pitched in

a previous game will incur the following penalty:

(a) The pitcher will be deemed to have pitched a major assignment already in

the carnival and will be removed from the mound;

(b) Should a team use a pitcher intentionally following a major assignment then

that team will be deemed to have used an illegal player and will forfeit the

game.

10. PITCHER RE-ENTRY (i) A fielder may be replaced during an innings in order to warm up to start

pitching the next innings.

(ii) The replacement player must not have already been used in the game, and will

replace the current pitcher in the batting line up, if a designated hitter is not

being used.

(iii) The current pitcher may take his next at bat, provided it occurs before the next

time he is due to field.

(iv) The fielder who was replaced must start pitching the next innings or he may not

take any further part in the game.

(v) The current pitcher may remain in the game as a fielder, depending upon his

assignment. In this case both the replacement player and the designated hitter

may take no further part in the game.

(vi) If the pitcher is not replaced at the start of the next innings then the replacement

is a normal substitution for the fielder. That is, he will take the fielder’s place in

batting line up.

11. SPEED UP RULES (i) Courtesy runner for catchers and pitchers may be provided at any time, but with

two out or one out and double play situations, they must be provided. This

runner may be any member of the playing squad.

(ii) Sixty (60) seconds between innings. Maximum of five (5) warm up pitches.
