• Call the Lexington Department of Recreation's cancellation line at 781-862-0500, ext 706 to determine if a game at Harrington field in Lexington will be cancelled due to rain. Also, please email Margot Brickelmaier IMMEDIATELY should one of your Lexington games get rained-out (The league will receive field credits, but Alex needs to email the Lexington Recreation Department the day of the cancelled game in order to redeem).

• Decisions on whether to play potentially rained-out games at Ahern, Hoyt, and Glacken fields should be made by the team captains.

To make sure all coaches and players are aware of which bats are approved or banned, please reference the information below. EACH TEAM is responsible for ensuring the bats they use are allowed - if a team needs help, they can reach out to the division coordinators.

For a bat to be allowed for use it must meet the following criteria:

• It must be ASA stamped. It can have other stamps, but the ASA stamp must be one of them.
• It must be SINGLE WALLED. Double and Triple walled bats are strictly prohibited. Baseball bats are also not allowed.
• It must not be on the banned bats list.

To find out whether a bat is ASA approved or banned, go to this site:
http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Softball/Play-ASA/Certified-ASA-Equipment.aspx.

From there, choose Bats from the drop down menu and click Go. On the next page there is a section for Approved Bats where you can see all of the ASA approved bats. There is also a section of Non-Approved Bats that contains the 3 lists of banned bats.

For further info and guidance on bats, please refer to the league rules linked above.

REMINDER: The TOP 6 TEAMS make the playoffs!! The 1st and 2nd place finishers get a first round bye. If there is a tie for the 6th seed (ie, 6th and 7th are tied), there will be a play-in for the slot rather than using tie-breakers. Playoff seeding for teams with the same record within the top 6: winner of the head-to-head will get the higher seed (if that game was not played, seeding will be decided by a coin toss).

The winning captain should email Margot Brickelmaier the game score the business day following each game. Weekly results will be posted to the schedule as games are played.

All games start at 6:00 unless captains agree to an earlier start
