2024 Season Changes
– Game times for 2024 are reverting back to 6:30, 7:20, 8:10 and 9:00. Additionally, we are shortening game time to 50 minutes + 1 inning down from 55 minutes plus one. The goal is to get people to the fields and ready to play on time as well as get everyone home at a decent hour.
– Given some comments and events from last year, we have decided to drop the number of Thursday players allowed per team on Wednesday to two. Monday will remain at 1 and Tuesday will remain at 2.
– There is a new national rule on ejections. It is as follows:
Rule 4, Section 8B An ejected participant must leave the grounds and have no contact with the umpires or participants in the game
and is suspended for one additional game. The ejected participant is restricted from having contact with the team and is not permitted to sit in the stands, dugout, or general locality of the next game. The ejected participant may appeal the one game suspension to the Championship Protest Committee.
Sioux Falls Men’s Slow Pitch will be operating under this rule for 2024 and are meeting weekly to discuss ejections this year. We are all adults, and players will be expected to behave accordingly. Additional rule changes for USA Softball are highlighted in red at usasoftball.com (PDF )
