Coaches will be required to play all players a minimum of two innings per game. All players, in all divisions, will be placed in the batting lineup. Six outs will constitute a complete inning. Un-played innings of games shortened by weather conditions or any other reason will not be credited to a player’s minimum playing time. All player rotations must be made no later than the completion of the third inning. It is highly recommended that a coach rotates his starting players so that the same players do not always lose the half inning of playing time at the end of the last inning when the home team is ahead.

Any team not playing all players the required innings will have one game deleted from the win column of league records, resulting in an extra loss. Exceptions: situations that make it impossible to play a player the required innings would be as follows: three inning games, rainouts, when players recorded in the official score book prior to the start of the game are injured, must leave early, are on vacation, are not playing for disciplinary reasons, or league approved situations. These must be documented in GameChanger. Once documented, that player may not reenter the game. Continued failure of the required playing time rule will then result in the removal of the coach from the league. No written protest by a Head Coach will be necessary for the board to enforce the required playing time rule. Commissioners of any division may and will periodically check for violations.

An opposing coach may not protest the minimum playing time rule.
