What constitutes a starting lineup?
Our starting lineups consist of 10 fielding players and an optional 2 extra hitters. Teams MUST have a minimum of 3 women fielders at all times. Extra hitters can be either gender and can bat at any place in your lineup. We added these 2 extra hitters to help teams get players playoff eligible. The minimum amount of players needed to start a game is 8, with a minimum of 2 women. Teams will forfeit their game if less than 2 women, or less than 8 players show up. Please do your best to have at least 10 players at every game, since playing against or playing for a team with 8 players is very frustrating, and not very fun. There are penalties from not having the proper number of players and/or women at a game. Please check the rules and regulations page for their penalties.
