  1. Where tie breaking rules are required, the following tie breaking rules will be used for each placement independently:
     1. Teams with a forfeit loss are ineligible for tiebreakers
     2. head to head record among tied teams;
     3. team with the smallest runs against ratio (runs allowed / number of defensive innings played) in games among tied teams;
     4. team with the smallest runs against ratio (runs allowed / number of defensive innings played) in all games;
     5. team with the highest runs for ratio (runs scored / number of offensive innings played) in games among tied teams;
     6. team with the highest runs for ratio ( runs scored / number of offensive innings played) in all games;
     7. coin toss
  2. When there are 3 or more teams tied, the tiebreakers will exclude RP7.4(a)(ii). After the winner of that tie breaker is determined, the tiebreakers will continue, if necessary, excluding RP7.4(a)(ii) as long as there are 3 or more teams tied. When only 2 teams remain, the tiebreaker will start at RP7.4(a)(i).
• No new inning may be started after the time limit or curfew.  An inning shall be deemed to have started immediately after the last out in the bottom of the previous inning has occurred.
• In all games the following mercy rule shall apply:
  1. 18 runs after 3 innings
  2. 15 runs after 4 innings
  3. 10 runs after 5 innings or any subsequent inning thereafter.
• If the home team leads after the top half of any such inning, the game shall be considered a mercy and the home team will not bat.
• Where the home team scores to take the lead in the 7^th inning, any extra inning or any inning that will be the last inning because of a time limit, the game ends immediately. Similarly, if the home team scores a run that results in a mercy condition, the game ends immediately with that run.
