| Notes: On IFR plays “in the hole” to a fielder covering second base, they are considered a 1B glf/grf. On IFR plays “up the middle” to the fielder covering are resolved as hard grounders ‘HG’ without hit and run modifications. On ODD walk (BB) rolls during a hit and run play the ball is fouled off. No further plays (such as steal, bunt, or additional hit & run) may be put on until the next batter comes to the plate. On a strikeout ‘SO’ the baserunner must steal with a -3 penalty in addition to normal adjustments. On a batter ‘HR’ the batter swings and misses, and the runner must steal with a -3 penalty in addition to normal adjustments. On a lineout ‘L’ an automatic double play occurs. | Notes: On IFR plays “in the hole” to a fielder covering second base, they are considered a 1B glf/grf.

| The inning when a starter begins to tire or lose effectiveness is indicated by his Fatigue rating as a starter. Once a pitcher reaches this inning and anytime afterwards, if he previously allowed 8 baserunners or more to reach base, he must use the second range of italic numbers instead of the top range of numbers for the lower results (2B, DF, SO, BB, HG) on his card. If a pitcher gives up six or more earned runs, he must use the second italic range no matter what inning or number of baserunners. The SYMBOLS CHART contains fatigue adjustments for ‘L’ and ‘WP&PB’ results. Fielders range decrease by one for each new inning started by a fatigued pitcher. | The point at which a pitcher begins to tire or lose effectiveness is indicated by his Fatigue rating. Each pitcher receives an individualized fatigue rating for starting (BF SP) and relieving (BF RP). This is the number of batters a pitcher may face in a single appearance before becoming fatigued, e.g. a reliever with "BF RP" of 7 will fatigue after the 7th batter he faces. Once a pitcher reaches this point and anytime afterwards, he must use the second range of italic numbers instead of the top range of numbers for the lower results (2B, DF, SO, BB, HG) on his card. If a pitcher gives up six or more earned runs, he must use the second italic range no matter how many batters faced. The SYMBOLS CHART contains fatigue adjustments for ‘L’ and ‘WP&PB’ results. Fielders range decrease by one for each new inning started by a fatigued pitcher. |

| Relievers are rated as Long, Middle, or Short. Long relievers fatigue after 6 baserunners reach base. Middle and Short relievers fatigue after 4 baserunners reach base. Relief pitchers with an asterisk (*) are considered closers and may not exceed 3 IP. | Each pitcher also receives an individualized rest chart. The number listed after BF is the maximum number of batters that can be faced for the corresponding amount of rest. Zero days rest means that the pitcher can pitch on consecutive days. BF totals are cumulative over consecutive days pitched without rest. For example a pitcher with "9/11/13/15" rest ratings, could face 4 batters on day 1, 4 batters on day 2 (8 cumulative), and 3 batters on day 3 (11 cumulative) before requiring 1 day of rest. If he faced 4 batters on day 3 he would then require 2 days of rest. |
| |
| The system is designed to reflect the number of batters faced who reach base. Subtract any outs on the bases (double plays, caught stealing, thrown out advancing, etc.) from the number of baserunners. If the batter reaches on a fielder’s choice and a runner was put out on the play, he is not considered an additional baserunner. If the batter reaches first on an intentional walk, he is not considered an additional baserunner. Once a pitcher fatigues, he cannot become “unfatigued” by additional outs even if the out occurs on the bases during the same at bat where the batter reached to fatigue the pitcher. | Additional rules: |
| | * Pitchers may pitch no more than four consecutive days, regardless of BF total. |
| Notes: Pitchers, who pitched five or more innings in their prior start, have specific adjustments on 3 days rest. Fatigue is reduced by 2 and the number of baserunners allowable before becoming fatigued is 6. A weather or dome effect does not alter these adjustments. | * Pitchers rated strictly as relievers (no SP fatigue rating) who have exceeded the maximum BF listed on their rest chart may continue pitching until the conclusion of the current inning, at which point they must be removed from the game and rest for 4 days |
| | * Pitchers with SP Fatigue ratings who face more than the maximum BF listed on their Rest chart but less than or equal to twice the maximum may pitch again after only 3 days rest but must suffer a -8 BF penalty to their Fatigue rating. Pitchers with SP Fatigue ratings who exceed twice the maximum BF listed on their Rest chart must rest 4 days before pitching again. |
| | * Pitchers must rest 1 day prior to starting. Pitchers starting with normal rest in cool weather receive +2 bonus BF to their SP Fatigue rating; pitchers starting in hot weather suffer -4 BF penalty to their SP Fatigue rating. |
