Rules that apply to all of our divisions:

1. Teams must inform the league of any schedule changes at least 1 week (7 days) before the scheduled start time. Failure to notify within this time frame will result in a forfeit loss and the forfeiting team will have to pay all ump fees.
 
2. Teams have 15 minute leeway for arriving late to games. For double headers the leeway time is 15 minutes for the 1st game & 30 minutes for 2nd game. Teams arriving after the leeway times will forfeit the game(s) and will be responsible to pay all ump fees for both teams.

3. All umpire fees MUST be collected before game time (including both games of a double header). No exceptions.

4. Forfeiting teams will need to pay all umpire fees for that game(s). 
Teams who do not pay their forfeit fees will not be permitted to play in upcoming league games. If teams continue to forfeit games they will be removed from the schedule.
