Whenever
a participant suffers a laceration or wound where oozing
or bleeding occurs the game will be stopped at the earliest
possible time and the participant will leave the field
of play. The replacement of that player will be
handled as described below.
DEFENSIVELY
1.
Team may substitute following A.S.A. rules.
2.
Team may play without the player(s) with no penalty.
OFFENSIVELY
1.
While Batting
A. Team may substitute following A.S.A.
rules.
B. Team may skip the spot in the batting
order without penalty.
For coed, both a male and a female (female/male) must
be skipped.
2.
While On Base
A. Team
may substitute following A.S.A. rules.
B. Team
may replace the player with next available player moving
backwards in batting order.
Once the player
has been treated and the wound has been covered they may
return to the game. If a substitute was used then
the return must follow A.S.A. rules.
Treatment
consists of cleaning the wound and surrounding area of all
body fluids and covering the area with some form of bandage
or wrap. If the bleeding or oozing is visible on any
portion of any participants clothing then that clothing
must either be removed, replaced or covered securely.
If any body fluid can be seen it will not be considered
treated.
If the affected
player was not replaced by a substitute they have 10 minutes
to treat the laceration or wound and return to the game.
When the 10 minutes has expired the player must be ready
to return to the game or be replaced by a substitute.
If a substitute is not available and the team has an 11
player or 10 player lineup an automatic out will be declared
each time that batting position is scheduled to bat as described
in Items #4 in the District 11 By-Laws. If the team
has less then 9 players it must forfeit.
