COURTESY RUNNERS DURING NON-LEAGUE SEASON
WHSS softball rules state that a National League PLAYER may REQUEST a courtesy runner at any time that he/she is on base or needs a courtesy runner from home plate. The Board established this rule many years ago to allow PLAYERS to decide if they want a runner during non-league play, not team managers. One of the goals of senior softball is for everyone to get exercise regardless of how fast you can run bases. The Board recognizes that some players NEED a runner and that is why we have this rule in place. You get to make the decision if you want to have a runner, not the team manager. You can change your mind at any time during the game.
In order for each team to have an equal number of players needing runners, please indicate on the sign-in sheet if you need a runner by putting a capital R by your name when you sign in. That way, when the teams are made up, we can spread out the number of players that need a runner equally so one team doesn't end up with too many players needing a runner.
THANKS.
Don Witmer, Commissioner
NOTE: Make sure that you check the website in the morning to see if we are playing ball. It has been raining off and on for most of today and is supposed to rain most of tomorrow. I will post by 7:00 AM.
