2008 In House Rules
The following rules have been adopted by Deer Lakes Little League for all games played between Deer Lakes In House Teams in the 11-12 age division during the 2008 regular season. These rules do not pertain to inter league games between Deer Lakes teams and all other District 26 teams. They do not pertain to any playoff or district tournament games that may occur during 2008. All games between Deer Lakes Little league teams and other District 26 teams will follow all 2008 Little League Official Rules.
1. Continuous batting order will be utilized. Each team will bat all players in the lineup
up to the maximum for each team.

7. A regulation game is 6 innings. A game will be considered complete after 4 innings have been played. If after 6 innings the game is tied, the game will continue until the tie is broke or conditions cause the game to be called. The game then will be declared suspended and continued from that point. The suspended game shall and will be rescheduled. If the game is suspended before the full 4th complete inning, then the game will be rescheduled. These games will start over from the first inning.

12. No curve balls, sliders, screwballs, knuckle balls, etc. may be used during any game, including pre game warm-ups at the fields. These pitches will be considered illegal and are harmful to the health of the pitcher. Only fastballs and change ups are permitted. Pitchers will be given one (1) warning if caught throwing these pitches during a game. If the warned pitcher throws another illegal pitch during the same game, he will be immediately removed from the position of pitcher and given a (1) calendar week suspension from the date of that game in which he is removed. That pitchers name will then be given to all other coaches in the in house league.
