Defensive Playing Time

For the season as a whole, each player must average 3.5 innings per game defensively for all games the player is available to play. Games missed due to injury, absence, etc. are not counted for this calculation.

Plate Appearances

The ratio of plate appearances (PA) from the player with the most PAs to the player with the fewest PAs shall not exceed 5:3. This is equal to the player with the fewest PAs getting to bat at least 60% as much as the player with the most PAs. Missed games due to injury, absence, etc. shall count as (2) PAs for this calculation.

These rules apply to the whole season (tournament and league games alike), with no individual game minimums.
