"Owning" Games
Monday May 20, 2:16 PM
Our league rules allow for teams to "own" games. What this means is that if a team can't field 9, the manager can tell the league and the opponent ahead of time and be responsible for the rescheduling of the game. That manager is responsible for finding a new field at a date and time that is agreeable to the opponent. If the manager cannot, the game is a forfeit.
Due to the domino effect that this causes in having to backfill games at the vacated field, we will now also require the manager taking ownership to find two teams willing to play in his team's slot. If the manager cannot find a replacement game for the field time he is vacating, his team will receive a forfeit and the game will not be made up.
Curfews and Time Limits
Saturday April 27, 10:45 PM
Curfews are imposed by field supervisors. Example, Pierce Field has a 9:45 pm curfew. RIMSBL has no control over that and we must abide by field curfews. A time limit is set by RIMSBL which says that no inning may start more than 2 hours and 45 minutes from the scheduled start time (not from the actual start time). Time limits are only in effect when there is another game after the current game. The final game of the day at a field does not have a time limit, even if earlier games did. Example: 9am, 12N and 4 pm at Pierce. The 9 and 12 games have a time limit. The 4 pm game does not have a time limit, but it must obey the field's curfew. At URI or RIC, the 9am and 12N games have a RIMSBL-imposed time limit. The 3 pm game can go on as long as playing conditions allow. Any questions, please contact David Saad.
Where To Pay
Thursday April 25, 10:55 PM
Some people have asked where is the link to pay their league fee. Log in to your player page and you'll see a blue button for it. You can find your player page by clicking on your name on your team page. If your name is not on your team page then your manager has not added you yet. Please ask him to do so.
