Batting, ghost running and scoring
- Four balls, three strikes per batter
- Backdrop is strikezone.
- No bunting.
- Field is marked with zones for singles, doubles, triples, home runs and foul lines. Hits landing between home and pitcher and are singles, between pitcher and first partition are doubles, between first and second partition are triples, past second partition are home runs.
Fielding
- Teams may have a minimum of three and maximum five players on the field - pitcher plus four fielders even or behind pitcher.
- The number on the field will be equal – in other words if one team has 3 players the other team will only field three players, rotating in batting order
- A groundball fielded cleanly (while still moving) and any batted ball caught in the air by a fielder/ pitcher is an out. If a ground ball stops before fielded it is fair.
