The All-State selection committee will meet prior to the seeding committee.
For 1A/2A/3A the first round will be played at the home of the higher seed on Tuesday, May 15, 2012. The final four teams will play a double elimination tournament on Friday and Saturday, May 18 & 19, 2012. The higher seed will be the home team. The home team in the championship round will be the team that is undefeated. If the third game is necessary, the higher seed will be the home team.
RULES: National High School Federation rules will be followed including approved helmets.. The higher seeded team shall be the home team in all games. The ten run rule should be employed after five innings.
GAME SUSPENSION. A game called for any reason, where a winner cannot be determined will be treated as a suspended game. If the game is to be completed it will be continued from the point of suspension, with the lineup and batting order of each team the same as the lineup and batting order at the moment of suspension, subject to the rules of the game. If more than 4 ½ innings have been played and a winner can be determined, the game is over (including play off games). After 5 innings, if the visiting team scores a tying or go ahead run in their top half of the inning and the home team does not have an opportunity to bat or complete its time at bat, the game is treated as a suspended game. If a game is called prior to the completion of a full inning after the fifth inning, the game becomes a suspended game in the following situation: The visiting team has scored one or more runs to tie the score or to take the lead, and the home team has not tied the score or retaken the lead. PLAY – The sixth inning begins with score H-6, V-5. Visitors score two runs in their half of the inning. Game is called because of rain with (a) two outs in the bottom of the sixth and the score H-6, V-7 or (b) following the completion of the home team’s turn at bat with the score H-6, V-7. RULING: In (a) the game is suspended and resumed on the next possible date at the point of interruption. In (b) the game is official, with the final score H-6, V-7. A suspended game does not count against the weekly limitations in the week in which it is completed.
