O5-30-2013. . . . . . . Official Softballs for FCCSL

One team attempted to use one of the white covered balls recently.  The only balls permitted for use in FCCSL games are the optic balls provided by the League at the Manager’s Meeting in March.  The balls were covered at that same meeting so there is no valid reason for not knowing.  2010 was the last year the white cover balls were legal.  It was a transition year when both the white and yellow balls were OK.

O5-30-2013 . . . . . . .Forfeits

No one likes to forfeit.  Nevertheless, it happens to us all.  Not having enough players is not a valid reason to reschedule games.  If you know you will forfeit, it is courteous to notify the other manager in advance and let the League know also.

O5-30-2013. . . . . . . Post Season Tournament

All managers will be asked during June if their team will be participating in the Post Season Tournament in July.  It usually begins soon after Independence Day.  It will be single elimination.  Remember that all playing restrictions honored during the regular season will not apply for tournament games.  The tournament usually takes less than two weeks to complete. 

O4-01-2012. . . . . . . Field Status

All players and managers should be aware the field status before trekking out to the park.  The status is available on the FCCSL website using the “Field Status” button.   It is updated regularly in the afternoon during weekdays, and all day during the weekend.   During weekdays Fairfax County may close the fields.  If that happens it is closed for the entire evening even if the weather is beautiful.
