FIELD MANAGERS:
HWSA
Field Managers will be present on the field during every game. They may be identified by a tri-colored HWSA
logo polo shirt. They will also be
wearing a nametag to identify themselves by.
Please respect these men as they will serve as the final HWSA authority
while on the field. Your cooperation and
support of the 2004 Field Managers (Baseball: Tim Day, Tom Griffin, and Rick
Kill; Softball: Carl King) is greatly appreciated. We expect full support of these men as they
handle disputes/protests, ensure that the game(s) are played according to the
correct rules and schedule of game times, and serve to maintain a
smooth-running World Series that honors the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ!
The
Field Managers have the authority to adapt game schedules, implement
tie-breaker rules, etc. if necessary due to weather limitations or other
circumstances that conflict with the original “plan”. Field Managers will communicate special rules
and/or procedures to the Umpires prior to each game start. Again, full cooperation and support of
decisions made by Field Managers is expected.
At
the start of each game, the Field Managers will make sure that each team has a
scorekeeper and will also ask if there is a person in the stands that would be
willing to announce the game. Field
Managers will also notify the scorekeeper of each team if they are Home or
Visitor. If you have been designated as
a scorekeeper and/or have the desire to serve as a game announcer, please
present yourself to the Field Manager prior to the start of the game.
TIE-BREAKERS
In an effort to determine a
clear winner of each game and avoid recording a tie after seven innings of
play, the following guidelines have been set in place.
Baseball only: games may go into extra innings up to 2 ½
hours. If the game is still tied at this
point, the Field Manager will decide how to determine the final game outcome.
Softball only: After 7 innings of play, if a clear winner
has not been determined, the next team up at bat will begin with a runner on
second. The team will go through their
batting order until three outs have been made.
After three outs, the other team will also get the chance to score and
will begin with a runner on second. If a
clear winner has not been determined after 1 ¾ hours of play, the Field Manager
will decide how to determine the final game outcome.
After
pool-play, 2-way ties will be broken by the head-to-head record of the tied
teams. Three-way ties will be broken
based on the comparison of the 1) runs allowed per inning of each tied team,
followed by the number of 2) runs scored per inning.
RAIN DELAYS:
In the event of any rain delays the
World Series will proceed as follows:
Plan #1 - Games will be shifted to
include playing on Friday.
Plan #2 - If that is not sufficient, remaining games
in the tournament (baseball and softball) will be reduced to five inning
games. Hopefully, the Play-off,
AWARDS
ALL-TOURNAMENT PLAYERS (ATP’s):
(1) Players and Coaches will cast a vote to determine their own team’s 2004
Each
player will receive one ballot
to make their ATP selections, and PLAYERS
CANNOT VOTE FOR THEMSELVES. If
player/coach selections are very close, then the following point system may be
used to help determine team ATP’s.
(1)
Players/Coaches should list their selections in the following way—first choice,
second choice, third choice, and fourth choice.
If votes are close, the Field Manager will award points to players in
the following way:
1) First choice = 4 points
2) Second choice = 3 points
3) Third choice = 2 points
4) Fourth choice = 1 point
(2)
The number of ATP’s per team will be determined by
each team’s overall placement in the World Series. Below is a breakdown of the number of ATP
Awards that will be given per placement.
1) Teams in
Championship Game = 4 ATP’s each
2) 3rd
place team = 3 ATP’s
3) 4th
place team = 2 ATP’s
4) 5th
through 8th place teams = 1 ATP each
(3) The determination of ATP’s will be conducted by a
three-way system that is based on player, coach, and Field Manager votes.
Player votes = 1 point each
Coaches’ votes = 2 points each
Field
Managers will total each team’s votes at the end of the Round II semi-final
games. If there are any tie decisions,
the Field Managers will cast the final selection votes after watching the Round
III (Final) games. Final determinations will be based on performance of the
athletes who earned the highest number of points following the coach/player
vote that was cast after the Semi-final round of play.
