The home team must supply two (2) and the visitors one (1) baseball at the start of each game. Supplied baseballs should be new, however in rare extenuating circumstances, previously used baseballs may be used if they are in good playable condition and approved by the umpire. Additional balls shall be supplied alternately by each team beginning with the visiting team. Teams that supply non-approved balls may face displine up to and including forfeit of the game.
### Bats
All bats must be wood or BBCOR certified. Use of an illegal bat shall be subject to the Major League rules that govern this area.
### Bases, home plate, and pitching rubber
All teams are expected to have a set of bases, a home plate, and a pitching rubber. These items shall conform to Major League Baseball specifications. Items conforming to 2022 specifications shall also be considered legal.
The host team for the field shall be responsible for accurately setting up the bases, and if necessary, home plate and the pitching rubber. In the event neither team is host of the field, the home team shall have this responsibilty. Should the responsible team fail to have these necessities by the start of the game, they will lose by forfeit. The visiting team may lend the equipment, although they are not required to do so.
### Uniforms
Uniform compliance is required in order to protect League competitive integrity, roster transparency, and game administration.
1. Required uniform elements are:
1. Team jersey bearing the team identity;
1. A unique uniform number assigned to that Player;
1. Baseball pants.
1. A Player may not wear or borrow another rostered Player’s jersey or number to satisfy this rule.
1. By each Member Franchise’s first regular-season game, all rostered Players are required to be in compliant uniforms.
1. If a Member Franchise cannot meet full compliance due to extenuating circumstances, its Manager must notify the Commissioner or designated League officer before game time, state the reason, and provide a date certain for correction.
1. Any Manager who observes a material uniform violation is encouraged to report it promptly to the Commissioner. Reporting does imply a request for forfeit. Umpires are also encouraged to note and report uniform issues.
1. The Commissioner may impose discipline for uniform non-compliance, including warnings, corrective deadlines, fines, temporary player ineligibility, and other remedies authorized by League rules. In determining the appropriate discipline, the Commissioner may consider factors including bad faith, repeated non-compliance, and refusal to comply with a League directive. Penalties may be imposed up to and including game forfeits.
## Subjectivity
These rules, regulations, articles, and Bylaws may not be suspended, set aside, or added to under any circumstances, regardless of the will of the Managers. This provision nullifies the “If both managers agree” concept.
