Rantoul Recreation Department 2018 Co-Rec Softball Rules
Team and Players:
A. Each team will be allowed unlimited players. There is no participant fee. Team rosters will be open.
B. Players are eligible if they are at least 14 years old and have not played on another team during the
season.
C. PLAYERS MAY ONLY PLAY ON ONE TEAM PER LEAGUE.
The Game:
A. Any type of shoes with metal or steel cleats are prohibited.
B. Seven (7) innings will constitute a complete game. There will be a sixty (60) minute time limit on all
RANTOUL RECREATION
games. No new inning will begin once the sixty (60) minute time limit has expired; Inning underway
will be played to its completion. If inning is tied after completion, it will remain a tie in the league
standings. Tournament games are an exception of this rule.
In case of bad weather or other circumstances during regular season requiring the umpires to call a
game, it will be considered complete if four (4) or more innings are completed. (3 ½ if the home
team is ahead.)
During tournament games, in case of bad weather or other circumstances requiring the umpires to
call a game it will be postponed if four (4) or less innings are completed.
C. A game can be played with 8, 10, or 12 players. If a team is short they may begin with 8 players (4
females, 4 males – no exceptions).
D. 5 males and 5 females play on the field at one time. The batting order must alternate (m-f-m-f-m-
f).
E. The Co-Rec league will use the “additional hitter” (AH) rule. At the beginning of each game the
manager will have the option of using 12 hitters in the batting order (1 extra male and 1 extra
female). The AH rule may only be used at the start of the game and must be used for the entire
game. If the AH rule is used (12 hitters), any 10 players may take the field to play defense each
inning. The re-entry rule is still in effect for all 12 hitters. If a team begins a game with 12 players (2
additional hitters), and a player is either ejected or injured and must leave the game, that team
must then play with 10 players.
F. Substitution is by sex only. (A male for a male, a female for a female). The re-entry rule will be
used.
217-893-5700
G. The ten (10) run rule will be in effect after five (5) innings. The fifteen (15) run rule will be in effect
after four (4) innings. The twenty (20) run rule will be in effect after three (3) innings.
H. Game time is forfeit time. There is no grace period. Lineups are due to the scorekeeper ten (10)
minutes prior to the start of the game.
I. Only one (1) umpire will be used to make all decisions. Please respect his/her judgment. The mat
provided will be used to constitute balls or strikes. All pitches hitting any part of the mat will be a
strike. If the pitch hits home plate it will be ruled a strike.
J. There will be no pre-game infield practice allowed by any team, which includes the 1 st game also.
K. All batters will start with an automatic one (1) ball and one (1) strike count when they step into the
box.

advance on the base paths following the standard Tag-up rules on a caught foul ball.

use and 11” regular softball.

reaches the 3 home run maximum. After both teams reach the 3 home run total, each team
will be allowed 1 more home run. If both teams reach the 4 home run total, each team will
then be allowed 1 more home run, and so on. Any home run over the limit will result in an
