SECTION I: Rosters
Rosters are expected to have a minimum of four (4) players and can sign up to exactly ten (10) players.

SECTION II: Game modes
The following are the game modes that can be played in the RBF
-3v3: 3v3 is the minimum. 3v3 is 1 pitcher and 2 Outfielders
-4v4: 1 Pitcher, 2 Outfielders, 1 1st baseman. Runners may steal here
-5v5: 1 Pitcher, 2 Outfielders, 1 1st baseman, 1 Catcher. Runners may steal here.

In the case that 1 team has more players than the other team, those extra players are DH.

SECTION III: Strikezone, balls, strikes, dropped 3rd strike, and balks
Strikezone: The strikezone is the length of home plate and is 1/2way up a batter's leg to the top of his chest

Ball: A ball is anything that lands outside of the strikezone and is not swung at a ball can also include a No Swing that a player did not try to swing at that landed outside the strikezone. If a pitcher throws 4 balls the batter advances to 1st base.

Strike: A strike is anything that lands inside the strikezone and/or is swung at and missed. If a pitcher throws 3 strikes the batter has struckout and an out is recorded. The following are also strikes...
-Foul balls (Unless there are 2 strikes in the count)-Anything that lands in foul territory (indicated by the foul line)

-Double Swings: The player swings at a ball twice, if there are 2 strikes in the count it counts as a foul ball during. A jumpswing is not a double swing.

-Late Swings: The player swings at the ball late, it is a strike in all situations

-No Swings: The player attempts to hit the ball but doesn't swing the bat, it is a strike unless there are 2 strikes in the count

-Bunt Foul: If a player bunts a ball into foul territory, it is a strike in all situations

Dropped 3rd strike (4v4 or 5v5): If a catcher fails to catch a ball that is declared strike 3 (unless it is a late swing) is a dropped 3rd strike. The ball is declared a live ball and is in play.

Balk: If a pitcher....
-Jumps without pitching it
-Pitches off the mound
-Pitches during a timeout or during NPB

Then they have committed a balk. If a pitcher commits a balk then the batter advances to 1st and all base runners advance 1 base.

SECTION III: Batting
A Batter has to bat to either the left of the plate or the right of the plate. If they stand on the plate or in the middle of the plate they are in an illegal batting stance and they are declared out.

While swinging a batter is permitted to use weakbat, strongbat, jumpswing, or sideswing. However if a batter is found to be using an unregulated bat they will be not only declared out, but ejected with the possibility of a suspension.

SECTION IV: Pitching
A pitcher must be on the mound when pitching. When a pitcher jumps they must pitch a ball. A pitcher may not use any adjusted or unregulated pitch or they will be ejected with the possibility of a suspension

SECTION V: Fielding
An outfielder catches a ball if the ball lands in their glove after either 0 or 1 bounces.

Any play in which the fielders involved are found to have a broken glove are redone due to a BG.

An outfielder may not field a ball that lands past the wall.

SECTION VI: Baserunning
A baserunner is out if...
-The baseman is on the bag with the batted ball in their glove before the runner reaches first
-The ball they batted is caught (see Section V for what constitutes a catch)
-They are picked off-The pitcher or baseman tags them out before they reach
-They are forced out at a base
-They are caught glove running
-They run outside of the base path
-They are tagged out: The baseman touches them with the glove with the ball in the glove

A baserunner is safe if...
-They reach the base before the batted ball reaches the baseman
-The baseman is off the base with the batted ball
-They reach a base before being tagged (if it is the next base this is a steal)
-The pitcher balks: they advance one (1) base
-They hit a home run or ground rule double (they are safe at 2nd if it is a GRD)
-They tag a base before the baseman tags them out
-They are blocked trying to reach a base
--If a ball hits the baseman and the baseman is flung into them before they reach then it is considered an out

SECTION VII: Home Runs and ground rule doubles
A home run is any ball that bounces zero (0) or one (1) time before entering the stands in fair territory. A ground rule double is any ball that bounces two (2) or more times before entering the stands in fair territory.

Any ball that is interfered with by the fans is declared a dead ball and the pitch is redone.

SECTION VIII: Warnings, Ejections and Suspensions
A player that has been warned three (3) times is ejected from the game and may not reenter. The following are warn-able offenses:
-Arguing balls and strikes ("LOL?", "LOL", "LOL!", or "...but ok" are examples)
-Spamming the chat
-Delaying the game intentionally more than once
-Verbally harrassing or bullying others
-"Spam arguing" the umpire
-Expressing an opinion towards a call in a disrespectful manor
-Disrespectfulness

The following actions will lead to an immediate ejection:
-Racism or other forms of prejudice
-Hacking
-Cheating
-If they are a fan, disrupting play
-Playing while serving a suspension

All ejections are a one game suspension at the minimum. Suspensions can range from 1 game to life.

SECTION IX: Women
Women can play in the league.

SECTION X: Gamelength
Games are five (5) innings long with three (3) outs per half inning.

A half inning is done once a team reaches three outs.

An inning is done once both teams have reached three outs.

The away team bats in the top of an inning and the home team bats in the bottom of an inning. In the event the home team is winning after 4 1/2 innings are played the bottom of the 5th inning is skipped.

If a game is tied after 5 innings then additional innings will be played. A winner is declared if the away team scores without allowing the home team to tie the game in the same inning OR if the home team scores enough runs to beat the away team in their inning.

SECTION XI: Season
Each team plays 20 games. At the conclusion of 20 games the top team from the Western and Eastern Leagues will play a best of 7 series to determine the RBF Champion.

In the event there is a tie in a league at the end of 20 games a 21st game will be played to break the tie.

SECTION XII: Substitutions
Subs are allowed if all parties agree to the sub.

SECTION XIII: Amendments
The rulebook can be amended at any time however all changes that occur during the season will begin during the next week or season of games.

Imo muffin, there should be allowed 1 sub/ team. Anymore and it's not really their team. Just something to think about
