 #
 # This script is a Git pre-commit hook that spell checks any content you are about to commit.
 #
 # Place this script into the ".git/hooks/" directory in your repository. It must be called "pre-commit" and be
 # executable. A Git hook only works in a single repository. You need to copy this hook into every repository you wish to
 # use it in manually. Optionally, you can set up a symlink in the ".git/hooks/" directory pointing to the script.
 #
 # Each time you try to commit something, this script is run and spell checks the content you are committing.
 #
 # Should you want to bypass the pre-commit hook (though not recommended), you can commit with "git commit --no-verify".
 # The following is a text file that represents your custom dictionary; edit as necessary. Add words to it that you wish
 # to ignore for the spell check.

 # CMBA Constitution and Bylaws
 The Constitution and Bylaws for the baseball league known as the [Chicago Metropolitan Baseball Association (CMBA)](#about-the-cmba).
 The compiled, published text can be found in the following formats:
 - [PDF](build/cmba-bylaws.pdf)
 - [HTML](build/cmba-bylaws.html)
 - [ePUB](build/cmba-bylaws.epub)
 The source text for this document can be found in Markdown format in [src/cmba-bylaws.md](src/cmba-bylaws.md).
 ## Building from source
 ### Requirements
 Building from source requires:
 - [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org)
 - [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
 ### Steps
 1. Download the latest release or clone the repo: 
 ```
 git clone https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws.git
 ```
 2. Navigate to the root directory:
 ```
 cd cmba-bylaws-master
 ```
 3. Publish into desired format:
 ```
 make {format}
 ```
 were `{format}` is one of the below:
   - All [default]: `make all` or `make`
   - PDF: `make pdf`
   - html: `make html`
   - epub: `make epub`
 5. Built files will be in the `build/` directory
 ## Markdown formatting
 - `#` or `h1` is used for either "Constitution" or "Bylaws". They are not numbered, necessitating an `{.unnumbered}` class. 
   - Note: to get the numbering to match existing convention, a [Lua filter](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5071#issuecomment-856918980) was required, see [jgm/pandoc#5701](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5071)
 - `##` or `h2` is used for sections
 - `###` or `h3` is used for subsections
 ## Metadata
 Metadata is stored in the `metadata.yml` file.
 ## Project history
 The constitution and bylaws were modernized in 2021, using Google Docs. This project brings that effort into Git and Github. Previous commits show a generated plain-text history of the changes prior to this project (thanks to [gitdriver](https://github.com/larsks/gitdriver)), with the first being the version from 2016.
 ## Spell-checking
 Spell-checking is performed on the pre-commit via [.spell-check/git-spell-check](.spell-check/git-spell-check) (courtesy of [mprpic/git-spell-check](https://github.com/mprpic/git-spell-check))
 You can manually run spell-checking of all markdown files by running the script (requires [aspell](http://aspell.net)):
 ```console
 ./.spell-check/spell-check
 ```
 Should you want to bypass the pre-commit hook (though not recommended), you can commit with 
 ```console
 git commit --no-verify".
 ```
 ## GitHub Pages
 The html output can be hosted on GitHub Pages. Currently the site is hosted at the branch [gh-pages](https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws/tree/gh-pages). To update this page, you should:
 1. First build from the main branch and build html
 ```console
 git clone https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws.git
 make html
 ```
 2. Then clone the gh-pages branch and replace `index.html` with the updated page.
 ```console
 git clone https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws.git --branch gh-pages cmba-bylaws-gh-pages
 cp ../cmba-bylaws/build/cmba-bylaws.html ./cmba-bylaws-gh-pages/index.html
 git push origin
 ```
 ## To-Do
 - [X] Spell Checking 
 - [ ] Remove dependence on make, verify Windows support
 ## About the CMBA
 This baseball league known as the [Chicago Metropolitan Baseball Association (CMBA)](http://cmbabaseball.com) has been formed for the purpose of providing the finest amateur baseball league in the State of Illinois and Midwest; a league where an up and coming young prospect for professional baseball may play and develop; where the talented veteran player can enjoy playing among the best competition; and bring friendship and sportsmanship to the Association.

 # Technical Release & Automation Notes
 > ⚠️ This document describes **technical automation and versioning**
 > used by the repository (CI/CD, tags, and deployments).
 >
 > It does **not** define:
 > - the organizational process for approving bylaws or constitutional changes
 > - who is authorized to make those changes
 > - when changes are considered “official” by the organization
 >
 > Those governance decisions within the organization’s constitution.
 This document exists solely to explain how **Git version tags, automated checks,
 and publishing workflows** are wired together so that future maintainers
 (dozens of months from now) do not accidentally trigger or break them.
 # Release & CI Process
 This repository uses a deliberately strict and explicit release process.
 It exists to prevent accidental releases, deployments, or CI runs.
 If you are changing tags, workflows, or branches, read this first.
 —
 ## Branches
 - `development`
  - Day-to-day work
  - No releases or deployments happen from this branch
 - `release-candidate`
  - Stabilization branch
  - CI runs here with strict checks
  - Release candidates are tagged from here
 - `main`
  - Stable, releasable state
  - Final releases are tagged from here
  - Stable GitHub Pages content is deployed from here
 —
 ## Tag Naming Policy
 ### Final Releases
 - Tags **must** start with `v`
 - Tags **must not** contain `-rc`
 Examples:
 - `v2026.1.0`
 - `v1.0.0`
 ### Release Candidates
 - Tags **must** start with `v`
 - Tags **must** contain `-rc`
 Examples:
 - `v2026.1.0-rc.1`
 - `v1.0.0-rc.2`
 This naming policy is intentional and is enforced by CI.
 —
 ## CI and Workflows Overview
 | Workflow | Trigger | Purpose |
 |———|———|———|
 | CI Docs | Push / PR to `release-candidate` | Strict MkDocs build validation |
 | Prerelease | Tag `v*` containing `-rc` | Build and publish prerelease artifacts |
 | Release | Tag `v*` not containing `-rc` | Build and publish final release |
 | RC Pages Deploy | RC tag | Publish preview docs under `/rc/<tag>/` |
 | Main Pages Deploy | Push to `main` | Publish stable docs to root |
 —
 ## Why both release workflows trigger on `v*`
 GitHub Actions does **not** support negative tag filters.
 Because of this:
 - Both release and prerelease workflows trigger on `v*`
 - Each workflow uses a job-level `if:` to decide whether it should run
 This ensures:
 - Symmetry between workflows
 - Clear, explicit logic
 - No reliance on fragile glob patterns
 —
 ## Safety Checks (Intentional Redundancy)
 Releases and deployments are guarded by **multiple independent checks**:
 1. **Tag name checks**
   - Release vs prerelease is decided by presence of `-rc`
 2. **Branch ancestry checks**
   - Final releases must be reachable from `main`
   - RC releases must be reachable from `release-candidate`
 3. **Strict MkDocs CI**
   - Controlled by `MKDOCS_STRICT` (defaults to true)
 4. **Environment guards**
   - Releases are skipped when running under `act`
   - Deployments only run on GitHub, never on Gitea or act
 This redundancy is intentional.
 —
 ## Environment Variables
 These variables control CI and release behavior:
 | Variable | Purpose |
 |———|———|
 | `MKDOCS_STRICT` | Enable/disable strict MkDocs builds |
 | `ENABLE_RELEASE` | Master switch for releases |
 | `ENABLE_DEPLOY` | Master switch for deployments |
 | `CI_PROVIDER` | `github`, `gitea`, or `act` |
 Defaults are defined in repository settings.
 —
 ## Common Mistakes (and What Happens)
 - Tagging `v2026.1.0` on a non-`main` commit  
  → Release workflow runs but fails early with a clear error
 - Tagging `v2026.1.0-rc.1` on `main`  
  → Prerelease workflow runs but branch check fails
 - Running workflows locally with `act`  
  → Builds run, but no release or deploy occurs
 —
 ## Changing This Process
 If you change:
 - Tag patterns
 - Branch names
 - Workflow triggers
 - CI guard logic
 Update this document **and** the workflows together.
 This process is designed to be boring, explicit, and safe.

 1. Severe violations of league rules and codes of conduct may result in the suspension of the offending player or manager for the balance of the season or possible permanent banishment from the league, if so ruled by the President.
 ### Manager Changes
 Management of the team may officially change from one person to another during the dates that team is formally recognized as an entity as specified in [Recognition](#recognition) only with the written consent of the outgoing manager, or rostered members of the team can show that the Manager has not been faithfully and/or competently fulfilling his requirements as outlined in this Constitution.

 Management changes outside of the dates that a team is formally recognized as an entity as specified in [Recognition](#recognition) are beyond the control of the Association and President and are not subject to any formal mechanisms of change as outlined in this Constitution. Resolution of any outstanding conflicts associated with such management changes are the sole responsibility of the parties involved.
 ## Team Rosters; Players and Eligibility
 ### Roster Deadline; Roster Size
 Prior to June 1, each team has an “open roster.”  Association teams must submit a roster of their players to the President no later than June 1 of each year.

No players may be added after July 1, except as set forth below.
 After July 1, upon request to the Rules and Competition Committee, a team may add a player if (i) the team’s roster has fallen (or, upon the removal of players “missing in action” as described below, will fall) below the 16 player minimum and (ii) doing so will, in the good faith determination of the Rules and Competition Committee, prevent the team from forfeiting games. 
 In order for a team to declare a player “missing in action” after July 1, (i) the player shall have (a) failed to appear at all of the team’s games occurring prior to such request or (b) suffered a season-ending injury after June 1 and (ii) the team must drop the player from its roster.
 A team may drop players at any time as long as the team’s roster does not fall below the 16 player minimum.

Roster changes shall be effective as of the first pitch of the team’s first regularly scheduled game after the updated roster is submitted.
 ### Alumni
 If a team would otherwise be required to forfeit or technically forfeit a game after June 1 due to a lack of eligible players in attendance, the team can use one (but not more than one) of its former players (“alumni”) in that game. The team’s manager shall inform the opposing team’s manager and the President as soon as possible (and in no event later than the first pitch) of his team’s use of an alumni player and will provide to the opposing team’s manager and the President with the alumni player’s name, age, bats/throws, position and uniform number.

 1. If the score is tied after seven completed innings play shall continue until (1) the visiting team has scored more total runs than the home team at the end of a completed inning, or (2) the home team scores the winning run in an uncompleted inning.

 1. Record within the division (if applicable).
 1. Least runs allowed for the season.
 1. Coin toss, performed by the Commissioner with a witness.
 ### Postseason Format
 The postseason format shall be determined by annual vote. 
 ### Prizes and Awards
 Playoff prizes and awards, if any, shall be determined by the membership of the league.
 ### Playoff Umpire Selection
 For the playoffs, each team will be granted the ability to exclude one (1) particular umpire from participating in said teams series. The name of this umpire shall be submitted to the chief umpire as soon as possible prior to the series. This umpire “veto” will be binding UNLESS the chief umpire cannot find any other umpire who can work any game in this series.
 ### Completion of Playoff Games
 All playoff games must be played to completion. If a playoff game is suspended for any reason, the game must be finished at a later date declared by the Commissioner. This game is declared suspended, and regardless of what inning or circumstance, the game will be continued from the point in the game when it was suspended. The “Slaughter Rule” is applicable for the playoffs (see [Regulation Games](#regulation-games)).
 ## Code of Conduct
 ### Ethics
 All League members, including officers, Managers, umpires, and players shall strive to be ethical, honorable, and truthful in all dealings concerning the League thereby promoting the League as a first class league of impeccable integrity.
 ### Sportsmanship
 All League members, including officers, Managers, umpires, and players are expected to behave in a sportsmanlike manner, promoting fair competitive play in a respectful atmosphere.
 ## Sportsmanship and Prohibited Conduct
 All League members are expected to engage in a sportsmanlike and mutually respectful behavior. Any Manager or the chief umpire may request that the rules and competition committee review the specific actions of another player, coach, Manager or team. The rules and competition committee shall review, and in its discretion, determine the appropriate disciplinary action to be taken, if any. Disciplinary actions include a written warning, fines, temporary suspension, and banishment from the League. The committee should take under consideration repeat offenses. The Commissioner shall enforce any discipline determined by the committee.
 ### Fighting
 Fighting or any physical altercation shall not be tolerated in the League. Players cannot leave the bench or their positions during a fight for any reason; the Managers, the on-the-field coaches and umpire(s) shall be responsible for restoring order. Specific penalties for violations are listed below.
 1. Any player who instigates or initiates an on-field fight shall be fined and suspended from league play for no less than one season
 1. Any player or coach who participates in a fight shall be suspended for three games and fined $50.00.
 ### Assault of an Umpire
 Any player or coach who physically assaults an umpire will be permanently banished from the league. Actions shall be reported to law enforcement as required.
 ### Substances
 1. Smoking: Smoking shall be prohibited in the dugout and on the playing field during the game.
 1. Alcohol: Alcoholic beverages are prohibited on or in the close proximity of a team’s bench. Teams in violation of this rule will forfeit the game and be automatically fined and temporarily suspended. Offending players will be fined and suspended for two (2) weeks from the date of the infraction. A second violation of this rule shall result in the automatic expulsion of the team from the League. Managers are responsible for the enforcement of this rule and are accountable for any violations. 
 1. Additionally, all teams and players are subject to any and all additional laws, rules, or regulations regarding substances as stated by locality or the issuer of the field permit
 ### Flagrant Collisions
 A flagrant collision is defined as an intentional act to forcibly collide with a fielder. A player who is ejected for a flagrant collision will be suspended for three (3) games and fined $30. A second offense (not necessarily in the same season) will result in the player being suspended for the remainder of that season (including playoffs). A third offense will result in permanent banishment from the league.
 ## 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.

 # Playing Rules
 ## Playing Rules
 Except where specified in this document, games shall follow the Official Baseball Rules of Major League Baseball.
 These rules shall not incorporate the following rules of Major League Baseball:
 - Rule 4.03(c)(4) specifying limitations on when a position player can pitch.
 - Rule 5.02(c) specifying limitations on infielder placement.
 - Rule 7.01(b) incorporating the parameters of the Extra Innings Rule, which includes starting each half-inning following the last regulation inning with a runner on second base.
 - Rule 5.10(m)(1) limiting the number of mound visits.
 - Rule 5.10(g) requiring that pitchers must face at least three batters.
 - Rules 5.07(c) specifying time limits on pitchers and batters. Limitations on pitcher disengagements (i.e. pick-offs) shall also not be incorporated.
 ## Regulation Games
 Games played under the auspices of both recognized Managers of the participating teams shall count as official. A regulation game is defined as follows
 1. A regulation game consists of seven (7) innings, unless extended because of a tie score, or shortened because the home team needs none of its half of the seventh inning or only a fraction of it, or because the umpire calls the game in accordance with [Reasons for a Game to be Called](#reasons-for-a-game-to-be-called).
 1. If the score is tied after seven completed innings play shall continue until (1) the visiting team has scored more total runs than the home team at the end of a completed inning, or (2) the home team scores the winning run in an uncompleted inning. If a regulation game is called with the score tied, it shall remain a tie game.
 1. If a game is called by the umpire, per [Reasons for a Game to be Called](#reasons-for-a-game-to-be-called), it is a regulation (official) game:
   1. If four innings have been completed;
   1. If the home team has scored more runs in four or three and a fraction half-innings than the visiting team has scored in four completed half-innings;
   1. If the home team scores one or more runs in its half of the fourth inning to tie the score.
   Postseason games are exempt from this definition as specified in [Completion of Playoff Games](#completion-of-playoff-games).
 1. Slaughter Rule: The game shall be ended and the leading team declared the winner:
   1. If after 4 complete innings the visiting team is ahead in the score by 15 or more runs, or if after 3½ innings the home team is ahead by the same, the game will be ended and the leading team declared the winner. 
   1. If after 5 or more complete innings the visiting team is ahead in the score by 12 or more runs, or if after 4½ innings or more the home team is ahead by the same, the game will be ended and the leading team declared the winner.
   The Slaughter Rule is applicable for the playoffs as specified in [Completion of Playoff Games](#completion-of-playoff-games).
 1. If a game is called after 3 complete innings and one team is ahead by 10 or more runs, the game will be ended and the leading team declared the winner. 
   Postseason games are exempt from this definition as specified in [Completion of Playoff Games](#completion-of-playoff-games).
 1. If a game is postponed or otherwise called before it has become a regulation game, the umpire-in-chief shall declare it “No Game,” meaning the game must be restarted (not resumed) at a later date.
   Postseason games are exempt from this definition as specified in [Completion of Playoff Games](#completion-of-playoff-games).
 ## Reasons for a Game to be Called
 An umpire, in their discretion, may declare a game called if
 1. Darkness prevents further safe play.
 1. Rain, lightning, or other inclement weather precludes safe conditions.
 1. A new inning would start after 8:15 p.m at a field without lights.
 1. Local laws or field rules (e.g. lightning detector) prevent continuation of the game.
 1. Other circumstances prevent further safe play. The Rules and Competition Committee may rule on any forfeit or loss of points as applicable.
 ## Game Time
 The starting time for all weeknight games shall be 5:50 p.m. for fields without lights. Starting times for games played at lighted fields and on the weekends shall be determined by the League and may legally begin after 6:30PM. Forfeit time shall be 20 minutes after the scheduled starting time.
 ## Player Uniforms
 All players must be in proper uniform in order to be eligible to participate in games, as specified in League policy.
 ## Minimum Number of Players
 Teams must start the game at the scheduled starting time if they have at least eight (8) players present. A team may not wait until forfeit time for players to arrive, the game must begin as soon as a team has 8 players present. If a ninth player does not arrive or arrives after forfeit time, the team shall be in technical forfeit, as defined in [Forfeits](#forfeits).
 1. In the event a team starts a game with eight (8) players, the ninth spot in the batting order shall be considered an out recorded to the pitcher. A team may insert a ninth player in the vacant ninth spot after the start of play.
 1. A team may begin a game with eight (8) players up to two (2) times in one season. A team that fails to field nine (9) players at the start of the game after receiving 2 (two) prior technical forfeits shall forfeit all subsequent games.
 1. A team in technical forfeit shall remain in technical forfeit, regardless of the number of players with which it finished the game.
 A team may finish the game a player short, that is one (1) player less than they started the game with (eight (8) players for a nine (9) man line-up, nine (9) players for a ten (10) man), provided the team does not fall below this minimum.
 1. The vacated spot in the batting order shall be considered an automatic out.
 1. Should a team fall below the minimum, the game is terminated and the team loses by forfeit.
 ## Player Injuries
 Should a player suffer a debilitating injury during the game and cannot continue, and a team has no more eligible players on its bench, a team can use a player that was removed from the game to replace him. This replacement player must be the first player removed from the game, and if this player is unavailable the next player is used (and so on). If no reserve is present, the vacated spot in the lineup is skipped and all batters move up accordingly, with no penalty to the affected team.
 1. If a substantial case can be made that a team skipped a spot with the intent to gain a competitive advantage, a protest by the opposing team may retroactively be ruled as a forfeit.
 ## Field Maintenance
 All teams are responsible for the maintenance and cleanup of the field and dugout areas after a game. Both teams must fill in all infield, batter’s box, and pitching mound holes. Additionally, both teams must have adequate equipment on hand for field maintenance. Teams who repeatedly fail to do proper post-game maintenance shall be fined.
 ## Payment of Umpires
 Umpires are to be paid on the field promptly upon request.
 ## Designated Hitter
 The League shall follow the Major League designated hitter rule at all times, with the exception that a team may designate a D.H. for any position on the field.
 ## Designated Runner
 The League shall elect to use a designated runner rule, similar to the designated hitter rule.
 1. A runner may be designated to run for a specified player in any game without otherwise affecting the status of the player(s) in the game.
 1. The designated runner must take the place of the specified player whenever that player reaches base or the designated runner. 
 1. If the specified player is substituted, this substitute player may inherit the designated runner.
 1. Designated runners are subject to the same substitution rules as the designated hitter as defined in [Designated Hitter](#designated-hitter)
 1. Teams with no eligible players remaining on the bench (i.e. all players are in the batting lineup) may elect to use the player that made the last out as the designated runner.
 ## Extra Hitter
 Prior to the start of the game a team may choose to play an extra hitter (EH). If the team uses this option, the following conditions apply:
 1. An EH shall only bat. They cannot take a position in the field as a tenth fielder.
 1. The EH shall be treated like any other position in the field, and can be substituted for, switch positions, or anything else that a position player can do.
 1. There is no limit to the number of extra hitters a team may elect to use, provided the names and numbers of these players are included in the lineup exchanged before the game.
 ## Courtesy Runner
 Teams may use courtesy runners for pitchers and catchers at any time. It is not mandatory to do so (speed-up rule), but the umpire(s) are required to keep the game moving expeditiously.
 1. Courtesy runners for pitchers and catchers cannot be, or have been, in the game at any time other than as a courtesy runner. Teams with no eligible players remaining on the bench must use the first player taken out of the game or the player that made the last out.
 1. The pitcher or catcher must play at least one (1) defensive out to be eligible for a courtesy runner unless they reach base in the first inning as a member of the visiting team.
 ## Batting Lineup
 The batting lineup shall consist of at minimum 9 slots (or 8 adhering to section [Minimum Number of Players](#minimum-number-of-players)). Additional slots may be used without limit (see [Extra Hitter](#extra-hitter)). Any player may be substituted in their batting lineup slot by using a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner for that player. The original player may not re-enter the game as a hitter.
 ## A/B Batting Lineup Slots
 In regular season play, any batting lineup slot may be optionally designated as an "A/B" batting slot, meaning it is shared between two players adhering to the following rules:
 1. The batter designated "A" shall bat the first time through the lineup and the batter designated "B" batting the second time through the lineup, continuing in alternating fashion for the remainder of the game. 
 2. Rules for the substitutions of either "A" or "B" batter are the same as any other batting lineup slot.
 3. In the event of injury of either player when there are no reserve players available, the uninjured player shall bat in place of the injured player without penalty.
 In postseason play, the A/B batting slot rule defined above shall not be applicable.
 ## Defensive Lineup
 In regular season play, the defensive line-up is independent of the batting lineup and substitutions shall be allowed as follows:
 1. Any player may be freely substituted in the defensive line-up at any time, without affecting the players’ in the batting line-up. Players may enter, exit, and re-enter the game in the defensive line-up without limitation.
 In postseason play, the free defensive substitution rule defined above shall not be applicable and substitutions shall be made in accordance to applicable League and MLB rules.
 ## Field Status
 The home team shall be responsible for checking the status of the field in the event of rain. The home team must report the status of the field to the Commissioner and the assigned umpire no later than 2:00 pm for a weeknight game, and at least 2 hrs. before a weekend game. As a courtesy, the home team should also notify the visiting Manager, but the visiting Manager may also contact the Commissioner for information regarding the status of the field.
 1. Any Manager who knowingly falsifies information regarding the status of the field to avoid playing the game will be fined and the team will forfeit the game.
 ## Rescheduling
 In the discretion of the Commissioner, a game may be postponed due to extraordinary circumstances. In the event a game is to be postponed, the Commissioner shall alert the Managers in an expedient manner.
 Managers from both teams must contact the Commissioner to confirm any changes that they wish to make to the official schedule. Teams may not change times, places, or dates of games without the consent of the Commissioner. Any such games played shall be considered unofficial.
 Any postponed or suspended games must be rescheduled in a timely fashion by the Managers of that game for the next possible date. If Managers cannot come to an agreement in a timely fashion, the Commissioner may reschedule the game.
 ## Notification of Results
 The winning team shall be responsible for notifying the Commissioner of the score of the game no later than 10:00 AM the day after the game was played via text message, email, or telephone call.
 ## Uncompleted Games
 All games not completed by the end of the regular season shall count as losses for both teams unless a team deliberately attempts to avoid playing a sanctioned game. The team that was willing to play the game will be judged the forfeit winner if so ruled by the Commissioner.
 ## Substitution of an Umpire
 Should a league sanctioned umpire fail to appear at game time, the teams can choose to play the game with an umpire(s) of mutual choosing. The Commissioner needs to be informed by both teams prior to the start of the game to make it official.
 ## Collisions
 NO COLLISIONS ARE ALLOWED, UNLESS THE CONTACT RESULTS FROM A SLIDE. It is the base runners responsibility to slide or avoid contact. Fielders and runners must abide by Official Baseball Rules regarding Interference, Obstruction, and Catcher Collisions.. 
 Unless the umpire rules that the contact was incidental or the result of Obstruction by the fielder, the runner shall be called out, the ball declared dead and the runner automatically ejected from the game. Per [Flagrant Collisions](#flagrant-collisions). if the collision is determined by the umpire to be flagrant the player may be subject to the further penalty as defined in that section.
 ## Umpire Disputes
 Discussion of a disputed umpires call shall be limited to the Managers, base coaches and the “aggrieved  player. No player or other coach (third party) shall be allowed to leave the dugout or their defensive position to join in. The penalty for violating this rule shall be the immediate ejection from the game.
