availability current scheduled for May 1, 2018 as per the Vancouver

2 x 30oz
- $40: 2016 Bats Available (2 x 28oz, 1 x 30oz)
- Helmets are recommended to be worn, although it is not a
mandatory rule.
Players need to understand the risk of not wearing one and the impact it may have on not only their own personal safety, but the impact to the other person who may be involved should they get injured/hit by a ball. - Player Eligibility for Playoffs: we agreed that this is
the new rule to be used going forward.
- To be eligible for the playoffs for the current year, a player must meet one of the following requirements:
- Minimum number of games played for the current season must be met - 1/3 of the games played in the regular season (Forfeits do not count as a game played); so if 14 games (2017 season) are played by a team, the player must play in at least 5 (rounding up to the nearest whole number).
- Minimum number of games from the previous season combined with an injury in the current season preventing them from meeting the minimum number of games in the current season; each case will be discussed and confirmed at the pre-playoff managers meeting each year.
- For New teams to the league in the current year, players who did not meet either of the two above stipulations will be voted on for approval by the league managers at the pre-playoff managers meeting prior to the playoffs.
