1. Coed teams consist of 10 players; five males and five females. Each team must have a minimum of nine (9) players to start the game, five (5) male and four (4) female, or five (5) female and four (4) male with the tenth player position taking an out. There are no requirements on positions played in league play.
2. 175' line is an arc 175' from home plate that runs from foul line to foul line. When a player is at bat, no outfielder may be within that arc until the ball is hit. Infielders must play normal depth and only four infielders in addition to the pitcher and catcher are allowed. Comment on rule 9: Penalty for not staying outside the 175' line will be single to the batter, or the result of the previous play, whichever is greater. Example: Player at bat, outfielder is within 175' arc, player hits the ball. Ball gets past fielder, runners on base score and batter ends up on second. Play stands, result of play is greater than the within arc penalty. Example: Player at bat, outfield is within arc. Player hits ball and outfield makes a catch. Dead ball, batter is awarded first base, all other base runners advance one base if forced.
