FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

The Westfall Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that helps the entire district, K-12, with funding for:

  • SCHOLARSHIPS
  • STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES
  • EDUCATIONAL GRANTS
  • SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Tournament Game Rules

  1. USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Rules
  2. All players must wear athletic shoes or rubber cleats. Metal cleats ARE NOT allowed.
  3. Scarlet Division consists of classes from 2022-2008 and Gray Division consist of classes from 2009 and older. Once a class has been out of school for 15 years they have the option to drop to the Gray bracket.
  4. Game times are set to start on the hour. If you do not have a minimum of 10 players (5 female/5 male) at start time, your team forfeits.
  5. The length of each game is 6 innings or a max of 60 minutes, at which time we will immediately stop play and the score will be final. No Exceptions as we will be playing games on the hour and will need time for teams to clear the bench so the next two teams can get on the field.
  6. The Gray Division will be permitted ONE courtesy runner per inning and the runner must be a roster player that is not currently in the lineup. If the team only has a 10 player roster the courtesy runner would be the last out. Again, ONE per inning, not one per male and one per female per inning, ONE per inning.
  7.  20 year rule – Once an individual has been out of school for 20 years or more they may create a team of various graduating classes as long as ALL individuals on the roster have been out of school for 20 years or more. Therefore all players would be from the graduating class 2002 and older.

Team Rules for Eligibility and Lineups

Rosters will consist of minimum 10 players and max of 18 players. There HAS to be a minimum of 5 FEMALE on a roster, 5 FEMALE play defense at all times, and the batting order MUST be male/female/male/female. Eligible players are ones that attended at least one year at Westfall.

On offense: Batters must be split evenly between male / female; you can bat 10-12, but not your entire roster
On defense: Pitcher, catcher, first base, second base, shortstop, third base, and up to four outfielders

Your team must play as many people on the field as possible up to ten. Everyone must be included. If your team has more than ten people who wish to play, everyone must be given an opportunity to do so.

Volunteers are permitted to play in the tournament under these conditions:
  • Only on the staff/volunteer team (if you’re also an alumnus and your graduating year needs players you’ll be asked to play with them)
  • Must be an active member volunteer of a recognized organization which operates out of one of the three district school buildings and the President of said organization must vouch for your membership status. Examples would be, Westfall Boosters, CIA, Westfall Education Foundation, Westfall Field of Dreams, etc.
