NHIAA State Adopted Rules

NHSUA 1978 - 2009

1-1-1
Double first base is permitted

4-2-3
Game ending procedures may be determined. We use the 12 run rule after 4 ½ innings have been played. The home team must bat if they are trailing by 12 runs before game can end.

4-3-1a
State Association are authorized to specify the time frame and/or circumstances before a forfeit will be declared for a late arrival by teams. We as umpires should wait at least 45 minutes. If a team fails to arrive at a contest at its scheduled start time the officials shall not wait longer than forty-five {45} minutes. After the forty- five {45} minute wait the game will be called as a “no game”

4-4-1 N.H.
Does allow protest

5-2-1b
If you have started the game and it is delayed for any reason (weather) you must wait 30 minutes. If the game is not complete then the game is a suspended game and will be picked up at a later date and continued where it left off. All tournament games must go the full 7 innings unless the 12 run rule is applied.
