Tournament Rules

General Triple Crown Fastpitch Tournament Rules:
Triple Crown is not a sanctioning body, but in several events will follow basic USA Softball rules with one modification, relating to the playing lineup.

Triple Crown allows the use of an EP/EH and the DP/Flex in the same lineup, if your team chooses to use this option.

Click here for a sample of lineups you can use during a game, if applicable.
​

(*Please note that each tournament and/or event may have its own set of rules, exceptions and variations. Please see specific tournament details and rules below.)  

Any player who has played on a college roster (JUCO, NAIA, NCAA) or has completed college coursework after high school, is NOT eligible to play in this event.

​COLORADO SPARKLER Tournament Rules:
  • Game times: No new inning after 1 hour and 45 minutes unless otherwise noted.
  • Match-up games can end in a tie.
  • Run rule in effect all games - 8 runs after 5 innings.
  • There are no protests allowed in this tournament.
  • A coin flip will determine home team except in the Championship where the undefeated team will be the home team. A coin flip will be used in any "if" games. Game times start at the coin flip.
  • The first team listed in pool play or the team listed on the top of the bracket shall occupy the 3rd base dugout, unless the dugout is occupied by a team playing back to back.
  • In elimination play after 7 innings if the game is tied we will use a tie-breaker (last official batter of the previous inning will be placed on second base), and the game will continue this way until a winner is determined.
  • Any coach or player ejected from a game will be required to sit out the next game as well.
  • No player can be on two rosters at the same tournament. First offensive, the player is disqualified, second offensive the game is forfeited. 
  • Artificial noise makers are not permitted. Failure to comply will result in removal from the park and/or forfeiture of the game.
  • No team coach, player or substitute shall be outside the dugout area.
  • Radar guns behind the backstop are NOT illegal.
  • Triple Crown Sports field supervisor decisions are final.
