Important Notes for Red Rock Players and Fans

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

From Tournament Director Ken Hackmeister:

Tim Lyon, who is currently in St. George, has given me some road construction info to be passed on to those coming to Red Rock this weekend.

Apparently, I-15 is undergoing significant construction between Mesquite, NV and St. George and, depending on the time of day, is causing some serious traffic delays. For those traveling to St. George via I-15 through Mesquite (from Las Vegas), plan accordingly.

A voice activated toll free number is available to check on road conditions 1-866-511-8824.

Remember there is a time change between Vegas and St. George. 9AM in Vegas is 10AM in St. George.

Drive carefully and allow some extra time to get there.

All managers are requested to control their respective teams and fans during the tournament.

Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Physical violence, verbal threats or abuse or other acts of misconduct, including foul language, will be dealt with severely. Players will be ejected and subject to suspension up to and including a lifetime ban and/or criminal prosecution. Physical contact between two or more players will result in the players being ejected from that game plus at least one additional game. Acts of physical violence or threats toward umpires or league officials will result in the players being ejected from that game plus at least two additional games. In the cases of extreme misconduct the case will be reviewed and a hearing conducted per ASA Guidelines to determine if further action will be taken.

All decisions made by Tournament Officials and local A.S.A. Representatives are final.

Rosters must be completed and signed by local ASA representatives. All players must be able to show a photo I.D. upon request. Players without proper I.D. will be considered ineligible. It is each player’s responsibility to carry I.D.

Uniform Rule: Tops with numbers required.

Game line-up cards will be required in 15 minutes before game time. When the line-up is registered

on the official scoresheet it will be the official line-up. (It is requested that all subs be listed on the back of the line-up card.) Home team will be determined by coin flip at this time. Home team will have 3rd base dugout unless it is already occupied by a team from the previous game.

Game time will have a 10-minute grace period. Clock will start at game time; if a team cannot field

a team after 10 minutes, the game will be ruled a forfeit. THE FORFEIT FEE WILL APPLY.

Travel time will be allowed when games are back to back at different field locations. No new inning after 1 hour and 45 minutes in effect for all games.

ASA Run Ahead Rule of 15 after 3 innings, 8 after 5 innings (2 ½ and 4 ½ if home team is ahead) in effect for all

games. Tie-Breaker: Runner on second starting with 8th inning or after time has expired in effect for all games.

Speed up rule. (Catchers Only) If the catcher is on base he may be replaced by the last possible batter to hit in

that inning that is not on base or the designated runner, regardless of the number of outs.

Designated Runner [DR] and one Extra Hitter (EH) permitted. Both must be listed on the Line-up

card. The DR may run ONCE an inning. These players may play defense. The EH must remain in

the same spot in the batting order. Once the DR enters the game on offense or defense you lose the

If a player arrives late they must enter the lineup in the 9th spot. If a team begins a game with 9 or 10 players and a player leaves the game and there is no available substitute there is an automatic out in that spot in the lineup. If two players leave there would be an out in each spot in the lineup. A team may not play shorthanded in the case of a player ejection.
