Rules
1.  ASA  rules will govern play.
2. Teams not present at their scheduled times will be called a forfeit ( with the exception being if a team is still playing at another field.)
3.  Game time limit is 1 hour and 45 minutes for all games. No new inning will start after 1 hour and 45  minutes. International tie breaker rules will be used in the case of a tie. There will not be a time limit for Championsip games.
4.  There will be a 12 run rule after 3 innings and 8 runs after 5 innings. Run rules are NOT waived for championship games.
5.  No game protests. Any protested calls will stop the game and will be settled at that time by the UIC.
6.  No pre-game infield practice. There will be designated warm-up areas throughout the complex.
7.  Teams have the option of batting 9 players or their entire roster. Teams that bat the regulation 9 players are bound by ASA substitution rules. Teams that choose to bat the entire roster (more than 9 players) have free substitution in the field, and it is not an out if a player is injured and cannot bat. If a player is injuered and cannot bat then the player cannot bat for the rest of the game. If a player is injured after starting an atbat and cannot finish, then their plate appearance is ruled an out, but she still remains in the batting order.
8.  This is a rain or shine tournament. In the event of inclement weather, the tournament director reserves the right to adjust the number of games, game length, and schedule to meet conditions.
