Local Playing Rules

Culpeper Little League follows the official Little League Rulebook with local modifications that help us ensure fairness, fun, and safety for all divisions.

Continuous Batting Order

Optional in Majors and above. If used, both managers must agree before the game begins.

Pitch Count & Tracking

Pitch counts must be tracked by both teams. Pitcher logs must be signed by both managers and the umpire after each game.

Division-Specific Rules

Each division (T-Ball, Machine Pitch, Minor, Major, Senior, Challenger) has guidelines for inning structure, defensive play, and time limits.

Code of Conduct

All players, coaches, and spectators are expected to model good sportsmanship and respect. Violations may result in ejection or suspension.

Player Pool Usage

If a team is short players, subs may be used from a league-approved pool. No player may pitch or catch in a borrowed role.

Game Duration & Run Limits

Most divisions enforce a 5-run limit per inning and strict time limits to ensure games run smoothly and fairly.
