Games WILL start promptly at the designated starting time regardless of the numbers of players present.  There are no forfeits in T-Ball as it is purely an instructional league.  Players from one team may be "loaned" to the other to make up the deficit for either all, or part, of the game as needed.

In order to keep the game flowing, coaches are expected to have their defensive rotation scripted prior to game time, and to have their catcher and players ready for the defensive half of the inning promptly after their own last batter is retired.

A regulation game is 4 innings.  No inning will begin after 1-Hour of playing time.  If for any reason a game is not started at the designated starting time, coaches shall note the time of the first batted ball by the Visiting team, and this will serve as the start of the 1- Hour time limit.  A new inning begins at the time when the last batter on the Home team 's roster is retired.

All players on the roster will bat "through the line-up" and the order of batting in an individual game may not be changed once established.  A side is retired when the offensive team has batted once through the line-up.  When a batter hits into an out, or a base-runner is retired, that player shall be removed from the bases.  The final batter of an inning will be announced to the defensive team.  Unless the final batter hits into an out or a play on another base-runner results in an out, a side will be deemed retired when the catcher has possession of the ball and touches home plate regardless of the whereabouts of the batter or other base-runner(s).

A batter who hits the ball into the outfield may continue to run until the outfielder throws the ball.  Other base-runners may also advance until the fielder releases the ball.  EXAMPLE: If the outfielder releases the ball just after a runner has rounded a base, that runner may continue on his way to only the next base.  If, however, a runner is approaching a base at the time of release, the runner must stop at that base.

The team at bat may have 1 coach assisting the batters at the tee and 2 other coaches positioned at 1st and 3rd base respectively.  The defensive team may have 2 adult coaches in the field to assist with player positioning and advice.

A tenth defensive player may be positioned on the field as an extra outfielder.  All outfielders must be positioned on the outfield grass.  Defensive substitutes may not sit out consecutive innings unless injured.
