FAS is excited to begin our 2010 year and has a few changes you should be aware of before registering your team for play. We have instituted some significant program changes to enhance your playing experience, to minimize cost increases, to accomodate the desires of the majority of teams, and to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the program administration. The program changes are:
-
FAS will now provide 3 separate seasons of softball, each with their own deadlines and start dates, and with none of the seasons overlapping any other season.
-
There will be a 20-game
SPRING season for the following leagues:
-
Men, Coed, Social Saturday, Women, Lockheed, and Reston Coed, Church, and Men begining play the week of April 11
-
There will be a 16-game
SUMMER season for the following leagues:
-
Men, Coed, Corporate Coed, Masters, Seniors, and Reston Men and Coed beginning play the week of July 4
-
There will be a 14-game
FALL season for the following leagues:
-
Men, Coed, Corporate Coed, Social Saturday, Women, Reston Men and Coed begining play the week of September 5
-
If field space permits, a 10-game
MINI season for the following leagues:
-
Forfeit fees will no longer be collected as part of the franchise fee, or refunded at the end of the season. FAS still discourages forfeits and will continue to take action with any teams forfeiting 4 or more games.
-
Playoff Tournaments: Division winners no longer receive a free entry into their league's end-of-the-season. FAS will host open tournaments at the end of each season and any team in the league may participate. Additionally, there will be no roster restrictions or roster checks for these new open tournaments. Playoff tournaments were eliminated due to the lack of interest of division winners accepting their paid entries, and the lack of teams buying into their respective league playoffs.
There were only minor playing rule changes for 2010:
-
An extension of the grace period from 10 to 15 minutes
-
Women's League will be permitted the use of 3 courtesy runners per half inning
-
Social Saturday Coed has a new batting rule where
the offensive team will bat until either 3 outs are made or when each batter has completed one turn at bat, whichever occurs first
-
No changes to the softballs or bats permitted in league play
-
No changes to the pitching arc; we will continue with the 6-12 foot arc
