Greater Keene Men's Softball Association

2025 Playoff Rules

To be eligible to participate in playoff games, players must have played in a minimum of 50% of their team’s regular season games played since the first time they were added to the roster.

Teams must start play if they have 9 roster men at game time. EXCEPTION: Playoff schedule movement can be made at the discretion of the Executive Board.

Any team leading by 8 or more runs after the 5th or 6th innings will be declared the winner with no further innings played. There is no 12 or more runs after 4 innings for playoffs.

The higher seed is the home team until the championship game; the undefeated team is the home team. For the if necessary game, it will be a coin flip.

Code of Conduct:

- Mandatory pre-game meeting with team rep and manager, these will be the only two players to address umpires during the game about appeals/protests.
- No arguing ball and strikes; players that do will be warned and then ejected.
- Any vulgarity directed at an umpire is an automatic ejection.
- Vulgarity not directed at an umpire results in a bench warning given to the team manager/rep.
-Further vulgarity will result in an ejection of the player who used the vulgar language; the player must leave the field right away.
- The bench is not a “safe zone,” team manager will be responsible for any insults, vulgarity or complaints coming from the bench.

If a player is ejected from a game he will be ineligible to play in any other games for any team the rest of the day or night.
