EVERYONE must respect and obey all rules and regulations pertaining to the field used

for play during all KIDS games. Alcohol use is expected on the field unless expressly
prohibited by a certified physician or a higher moral calling. Participants breaking field
rules may be ejected from the game and will be given a refund check from Steve
Horrocks, with the memo line stating, “I’m a douche-bag!”

The Field Set Up:

*The kickball diamond is a square with equal sides of 60 feet or about 20 paces.
*The distance from home plate to second base and from first base to third base is about
28 paces.
*The pitching strip is in the center of the diamond about 14 paces from home plate, and
directly aligned with the 1st-3rd base diagonal

The Rules:

Regulation games last seven full innings with a MANDATORY pre-5th inning social. Both
teams must unite and partake in a fresh beer, or finish the one they currently have.
Spontaneous drinking games are encouraged during this time.

Referees have jurisdiction over play (Referees are the Bitch team members that aren’t
helping grill). Referees also reserve the right to call Shenanigans on players partaking in
un-sportsman like conduct, fighting, delay of game, excessive verbal abuse, acting like
an ass, or whining ad nauseam about calls. If Shenanigans is called, the offending
player must stop playing, pump up one deflated kickball, and will be marked with hot pink
duck tape (serving as an indication/warning to others, “Beware, I’m an asshole”) for the
duration of the game and post-game BBBQ.

A coin toss determines which team will field first.

All team players present must kick in a written kicking order, but do not have to field.

A team cannot field more players than the available number of fielders on the other team
(a team MUST field at least 7 players in some capacity, every inning). The max
number/type of field-able positions are as follows:
1) Pitcher
2) Catcher
3) First Base
4) Second Base
5) Third Base
6) Short Stop
7-9) Outfield
10) Bunt Bruiser*

*the Bunt Bruiser is optional. You may play the Bunt Bruiser wherever you please on the
field (we’re keeping the name for familiarity). However, the Bunt Bruiser must remain at
or behind the pitching mound until the ball is bunted (runners coming into contact with a
bunted ball after they’ve been lame and clearly not kicked the ball but rather bunted, will
be considered out)
Runners can be tagged out by the ball. A runner’s clothing is considered an extension of
the person. HOWEVER, don’t hit people in the head/neck when attempting to tag them
out. It is a dick move and the runner will automatically be safe, so you’re not doing your
team any favors. However, if it is apparent that the runner intentionally uses his or her
head to block a ball, then that runner is out and they will be subject to an undetermined
amount of brain damage.

Tag-Ups are only required before advancement on a caught ball. After a kicked ball is
touched or caught, runners are forced to tag the base they were on before running to the
next base. If the runner stays on base before the ball is touched or caught, the runner
may run forward without tagging up.

Runners may take no more than ONE base on an overthrow into foul territory.

All ties will go to the runner. Runners may overrun first base.

A run scores when a runner touches home plate before the third out is made. A run
cannot score when the third out is the result of a force play, or when the kicker is put out
before touching first base.

Once the pitcher has the ball in control and on the mound, the play ends.

Four fouls is an out… A foul is a kicked ball landing in foul territory or a kicked ball
landing in bounds, but traveling out of bounds on its own at any time before reaching
1st/3rd base.

A fair ball is a ball kicked that lands and remains in fair territory or a ball kicked that
lands in fair territory then travels into foul territory beyond the 1st/3rd baseline

A dead ball occurs when any permanent object touches a ball in foul territory; play
automatically ends as a result.
