League Rules

• All protests require a $200 non-refundable fee paid prior to review
• If ruled in favor, a $200 credit will be applied to next season's fees
• Must be submitted by team manager via email to Commissioner and Co-Commissioner
• Reviewed by KCMSBL Board - all decisions are final

• KCMSBL Board reserves the right to adjust rules as necessary
• All modifications posted immediately and communicated to League Directors
• In-season changes require unanimous vote by league managers

All individuals at KCMSBL events must:

• Adhere to KCMSBL and facility rules, regulations, and guidelines
• Act in a manner that properly represents KCMSBL
• Provide an environment devoid of discrimination and harassment

• All ejections reported to KCMSBL Board by officials
• Board reviews each case individually to determine suspension length
• Non-rostered attendees ejected are barred from events for minimum two weeks

Regular Season:

• After 2:15, no new inning starts unless tied
• At 2:30, game is over (drop dead)

Playoffs:

• After 2:15, no new inning starts unless tied
• No drop dead time — playoff games must produce a winner
• If tied, the California Rule applies and repeats each inning until one team wins

Fall Ball:

• After 1:45, no new inning starts regardless if tied
• At 2:00, game is over

• Game ends if a team is ahead by 10 or more runs after 5 innings

When two or more teams are tied in the standings, the following tiebreakers are applied in order:

• 1st: Head-to-head record between the tied teams
• 2nd: Runs allowed (fewer is better)
• 3rd: Run differential (runs scored minus runs allowed)

How it works:

• Applied if tied after 7 innings or after 2:15 time limit
• Runner placed at second base (must be preceding batter in lineup)
• One out applied against offensive team

Regular Season: California Rule continues until 2:30 drop dead time — game may end in a tie

Playoffs: No drop dead time. California Rule repeats each inning until a winner is decided — playoff games cannot end in a tie
