ELIGIBILITY RULES 2019:
To be eligible for TYBA intramural playoffs, a player must have played in at least the minimum number of intramural regular season games indicated below (depending on the total number of regular season games the player's team plays):
10 game season -- at least 6 games
11 game season -- at least 7 games
12 game season -- at least 7 games
13 game season -- at least 8 games
14 game season -- at least 8 games.
The Commissioner of a league may grant a waiver from this rule in cases where a player missed games because of injury or medical condition. In considering a waiver request, a Commissioner may require information from the player's coach, parent or guardian of the injury or condition.
A player who is not eligible for TYBA intramural playoffs because of not having played at least the minimum number of games required above, also is not eligible to play for a TYBA tournament team.
Clarifications:
1.6 Missed At-Bats (sick, injured, early departure)
If a player misses an at-bat, the team takes an “out” for the first missed at-bat. If a player misses a second at-bat, that player cannot play in the game, but no further “outs” are taken, subject to the minimum player rule above (i.e., if there are less than 9 batters, an “out” is taken for the missing batters). If you bat through your lineup, you can no longer insert a player. So if you think a player is coming late, and you put them in your last spot, you essentially can go through almost two full cycles of your line-up before that player cannot play.
In order for a game to count toward a player's eligibility for playoffs or tournament ball, the player must be present for the duration of a game, from first pitch to last out. Leaving early or arriving late does not count as a game played for purposes of eligibility.
Field etiquette:
1. Arrival - If you are waiting for another team to finish their game so that you can begin yours:
a. You are responsible for your group.
b. Your players should not be warming up in an area which interferes with the game in progress.
c. Your players should not rush the dugout or bench area at the conclusion of the game before you. They should be congregated with you or your assistant waiting to be led to the dugout/bench area by you.
d. You and all of your players (coaches, parents, etc) should not be within twenty yards to the dugout/bench area until the coach of the team occupying it before you clears you to enter after his team has fully vacated the area.
2. Departure - If your game is concluding and other teams are waiting, you should:
a. Advise your players to pack up immediately.
b. Pack your stuff up immediately.
c. Collect all trash from the dugout.
d. Make sure that all of the equipment and any other property belonging to your squad is collected and not left behind.
e. Direct your team/parents to gather in another area of the facility for post game talks, activities and snack time. (don't do any of this in the dugout area).
f. Clear the next teams coach to take the dugout bench area once your players have vacated it.
