Hotlanta Softball consists of two seasons, Spring and Fall. "Fall Ball"
is co-ed with a mixture of all players from each division. It is intended to be just for the "fun of it" and
is a great time to get involved in the league.

Fall Ball Rules
HAVE FUN
EVERYONE bats around in the line-up
10 Run rule apply (basically, if a team gets ahead by 10 runs in 1 inning, the 2 teams automatically switch and the other team comes in to bat until they score some runs (or 6 outs occur)
NO WALKS / NO STRIKE OUTS - umpires will keep calling balls until the batter hits
55 min time limit
Higher division players - PLAY DOWN! (we dont want ANYONE getting hurt)
Notes
We will be using the mens "used" Worth balls from the Spring
If a team is short players - they may borrow or pick up players from another team if desired
