Banana Ball rules
Banana Ball has 11 rules that are designed to add more entertainment value to the game and eliminate long stretches without any action.
- Every inning is worth one point. The team that wins the inning gets the point for that inning. In the last inning of the game, every run counts.
- A new inning cannot be started after two hours of game time.
- A hitter cannot step out of the box. If a hitter does step out, a strike will be added to the count.
- A hitter is not allowed to bunt.
- A hitter is allowed to attempt to steal first base on any pitch of an at-bat.
- There are no walks. If a pitcher throws four balls, every defensive player on the field must touch the ball before it becomes live. A hitter can advance to as many bases as possible.
- Catchers and coaches are not allowed to visit the mound.
- If a fan catches a foul ball, the catch results in an out.
- If the game is tied at the end of the time limit, the Showdown Tiebreaker will decide which team wins the game.
- Each team is allowed to challenge one ruling on the field (fair/foul ball calls, force/tag play calls and catch play calls). Fans will also have the ability to challenge one ruling during the game.
- The Golden Batter Rule allows a team to send any hitter to bat in any spot in the lineup. It can only be used once per game.
