• You can play 6 women and 4 men to fill a team, 7 women and 3 men, etc.

Adding a player:

• If you need to add a player, because you cannot meet the above rules, after you played your first game due to a player injury or absence, You must have that player cleared from Todd Klemme or Troy Struve.  A player can be used from a team out of the tournament or adding a new player to the tournament would need to also pay the player fee

• Outfielders must be behind the coed line in the outfield when a woman is batting and can not cross until the ball is hit

 

Batting Order:

• There are no restrictions on batting order for any team - There is no requirement for alternating male / female just that you must have the required amount of women in the lineup based on the rules that apply to your type of team
