Stars Over Texas Showcase
TOURNAMENT RULES
&
GENERAL INFORMATION
Check in Information:
Each Team MUST check-in at the Main Tournament Desk. At
check-in, teams must submit a copy of their teams insurance. Teams
will receive their team packet at that time which will have their
players i.d. bracelets and other important info in them.
College Coaches Only: No players, team coaches, or
parents/spectators will be allowed in areas designated "College
Coaches Only". This includes the Hospitality Tents and the Scouting
Areas that are designated at each park. Please make sure to discuss
this issue with the players, parents and fans that are with your
team.
Rules: We will be following Stars Over Texas Showcase
rules. Bat the roster, free substitutions. ABSOLUTELY NO STALLING
TACTICS. WINS MEAN NOTHING IN THIS SHOWCASE IT IS TO SHOWCASE THE
PLAYERS ABILITIES NOT THEIR COACHES ABILITY SO NO STALLING WILL BE
TOLERATED!
Showcase Format:
Gold and 18A divisions
will pitch from 43ft and will play a minimum of 5
games
Mercy Rule: A 10 runs after 5
innings "mercy" rule will be in effect for ALL games. The College
Coaches do not want to watch blowouts so this mercy rule will be in
affect.
Lineups: You do not need to turn in lineups as Showcase rules
indicated there will be free substitution and unlimited batters in
the batting order so the need for a official lineup is not
necessary.
Game Time: Official game will end
at 7 innings or 1 hour 20 minutes with the finish the batter. Obvious delay of game tactics will not be allowed by umpires.
Remember - the college coaches want to see girls playing, not
coaches trying to stall out the clock.
Uniforms: Uniform shirts must be
numbered. Pick up players may wear their original team’s uniform. No
duplicate numbers allowed. No jewelry other than post type earrings
in ears is allowed. Post type earrings in ears may be worn but must
be taped. Umpires will be the judge in jewelry matters. If the
umpire deems the earring unsafe, then the player must remove them
with no argument.
Protests: This is a non-protestable tournament. Rule disagreements
will be settled at the time by the home plate umpire. Please don't
argue. Remember the spirit of the tournament. College coaches don't
want to spend their time watching arguments. Teams that refuse to
play when umpire says "Play Ball" could be penalized, upon review of
tournament director, with forfeit of all remaining games.
Housekeeping: Please assist in keeping the dugouts clean for the
next team, by picking up your trash after the game and placing it in
the trash cans provided in the dugout.
Forfeits: Forfeits are to be avoided at all costs. Forfeits are
at the discretion of the Tournament Director at your location of
play. If you are short a player (due to injury or other unforeseen
circumstances) and need one to keep you from forfeiting, please
contact the Tournament Desk or Tournament Director immediately.
Temporary replacement players may be available, but we do need some
notice. To avoid a forfeit, you are allowed to borrow a player from
another team. However, you must receive approval from the Tournament
Director to do this. Forfeits benefit neither team since the
objective of the tournament is for the girls to be seen on the field
by the college scouts!!! Teams that forfeit a game for any
reason, risk not being accepted into this Showcase in the future. If
you are unable to play a game, you must advise the tournament
officials, plus it is recommended that you attempt to find a
replacement team for your game. You are ultimately responsible to
make sure that your opponent is not shorted their opportunity to
show their players.
Dugout Assignments: Teams listed on top of the game bracket chart
will be in the first base dugout; however, teams with back to back
games on the same field will not be required to change dugouts. Home
team is determined by coin toss.
Weather Contingencies: In case of
uncontrollable circumstances or interruptions due to weather, the
Tournament Director reserves the right to alter the tournament
format in any way necessary to reach a conclusion. This can include,
but may not be limited to, shortened game times, fewer games
guaranteed, or playing rule changes. Games interrupted might not be
resumed. Everything possible will be done to get the players on the
field as soon as possible.
Weather Hotline: We will have a Weather Hotline number that teams
can call during the tournament for schedule information if the
tournament is affected by weather. This number will be posted on the
Main Tournament Board plus it will be located on the Showcase
website.
Your Responsibility: It is ultimately the responsibility of the team
managers and coaches to verify their schedule daily to make sure
that no changes have been made. We do what ever we can to make it
easy for you to be notified of changes, but you must do your part.
Please be diligent on a daily basis, especially if there have been
circumstances that could cause schedule changes. Also it is the
responsibility of the team managers and coaches to know their field
assignments, times, etc, for all games. The Official Tournament
Board will be maintained at the Main Tournament Desks next to the
College Coaches Hospitality tents at all of the parks being used.
Please verify your game schedule occasionally at the Main Tournament
Desk. Teams that no-show a game risk being replaced in their other
games, and also may not be invited to future tournaments.
Injuries: Limited Emergency First Aid supplies will be available
at the Tournament Desk at each location. It is recommended that each
team bring their own first aid supplies. If a injury occurs, the
Tournament Director should be called for assistance, and in severe
cases a Ambulance will be called. Any Player, Coach, Umpire or
Spectator who when injured seems to have been unconscious for any
amount of time or who are experiencing neck/head injuries should not
be moved off the field.
A trainer will be available to assist players and coaches to
administer minor first aid.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Managers/coaches are responsible for their
own conduct and for that of their players, assistants and
spectators. Abusive language and/or unsportsmanlike conduct will not
be tolerated in any degree. Noisemakers, whether homemade or store
bought, are not allowed. Coaches, players, and spectators may be
ejected from the game if in violation of this rule. The initial
"cooling off period" is the rest of the game. Any manager, coach,
player or spectator who is ejected from a game may/will have their
behavior reviewed by the Umpire in Chief and/or the Tournament
Director, and the "cooling off period" may be extended from one game
to the rest of the day and even to the rest of the tournament,
depending on severity of conduct. Any manager, coach, or spectator
who is ejected must leave the park for the duration of the cooling
off period. A player who is ejected will be restricted to the dugout
for any games during the cooling off period and will not be allowed
to play in any games in any manner for the rest of the cooling off
period. This is a severe penalty so be on notice that misbehavior on
the part of players, coaches or spectators will not be tolerated.
Managers/coaches may be held responsible for players and spectators
behavior also. If any one who has been ejected fails to follow
umpire instructions or fails to abide by the cooling off period, the
team will be ejected from the tournament.
Warmup Area: Pre Game Warmup is to be conducted only in the Warm up
areas or in the grass outfield areas on fields with temporary
fencing. Any team may use any of these allowed areas. In
Addition there is to be no throwing of balls or batting in or near
the sidewalk areas. There is to be no hitting of balls or throwing
of balls into permanent or temporary fencing. Any player warming up
a pitcher must wear a catcher's mask.
Lightning Detection System:
If the park does not have an automated notification system,
tournament or park staff will relay the warning and the all clear to
the umpires. Please cooperate.
Wristbands: All players must wear the appropriate colored wristband
during the entire duration of the tournament. Players without
wristbands will not be allowed to play. A limited number of extra
wristbands will be available at the tournament desk if a band is
lost or broken, but it is recommended that the players be extremely
responsible with their wristbands. It is recommended that the
wristband be attached loosely to the wrist so it can be taken off
and put back on during the weekend. The wristbands will show that
the players are eligible to play in the tournament, PLUS they
designate to the college coaches the year of graduation of the
player and their recruiting eligibility.
Double Wide First Base: Double wide first bases are in use at all of
the Parks we are using. The batter-baserunners are to use the foul
side base, while the defensive player must use the fair side base.
However, if the throw is coming from foul territory, then the
batter-baserunner uses the fair side base, and the defensive player
uses the foul side base. Avoid collisions at all costs please make
sure to tell your players about this. If they get hurt and cannot
play then they lose their chance at being recruited… Play it
smart!!!
Cancellation/Refund Policy: If the number of
games is shortened or cancelled due to uncontrollable circumstances,
such as weather, refunds will be given based on the number of games
played.
Pick-up Players: Teams are highly encouraged to bring more than 9
players to the tournament. A roster of 11 is recommended in case of
injuries or illness, especially since forfeits are not allowed.
The tournament committee reserves the right to qualify any team or
any player to preserve the integrity of the tournament. Teams and
players will be reviewed to determine, and ensure, eligibility.
Teams or players may be subject to disqualification at any time with
no refund. This is an invitational tournament.
