4. Unlimited substitutions on the field.
5. Any player coming late will enter the bottom of the batting order and no inning is considered too late except for the last inning.

7. Four coaches allowed in the dugout. Adult coaches ONLY are allowed to coach first and third base.
8. Each player must play at least 3 innings in the field or half of the game in the field.
9. The decision as to whether to play a game in inclement weather must be mutually agreed by both team’s managers. The home team manager must call the Major League president and the chief umpire for any cancelled games. A field operations officer also has the right to call a game and may overrule team managers.
10. Once the game begins the decision to stop play because of inclement weather or any other safety issue lies in the hands of the head umpire, field operations officer or a mutual agreement between the managers.
a. If a game is called after “One Complete Inning” is played the game will resume at that point of the game at a later date. All records including pitch count will be used.
11. Respect all umpires decisions and set the proper example for your team. Ensure your players and your fans exhibit appropriate behavior. The umpire has the right to remove coaches, players, and fans from the game.
12. If a player curses or throws any part of their equipment they will be subject to ejection or possible suspension.
13. Uniforms must be worn and no shorts are permitted.
14. Catchers must wear a cup.
15. Both team coaching staffs will be responsible for field preparation and closing if they are the last game of the night. Each team is responsible for scheduling one parent to work the snack stand for their game. If the snack stand is not staffed the game will not start. The snack stand is important and helps to keep our program running.
Other points:
• The winning team is responsible for entering the final score and both teams pitch counts. After the game you are to go to the Triboro website ASAP to record this information. When entering a pitchers name you will use the first name and last initial with total pitch count. Before each game remember to get the umpires names so that you can enter them into the game results as well.
If a team pitches an illegal pitcher due to a pitch count violation (NOTE one pitch is considered a violation) the opposing manager has up to 5 days to protest the game with the league president. The league president will then file the protest with the rules enforcement committee for a full review. If in fact an illegal pitcher was used fines will be as followed:
1st offense will carry a mandatory 1 game suspension of the team’s manager and an automatic forfeit of the game in protest.
2nd offense will be an automatic forfeit of the protested game and the manager will go before the rules enforcement committee. Multiple suspensions or termination may be ruled.
