1. All fields are lined, prepped and ready to play.  The Connecticut Sportsplex prepares all game schedules and schedules the umpires. Any game time requests need to be received in writing 2 weeks prior to the start of the league. We do not guarantee that your game will be rescheduled if changes need to be made after the schedule has been completed and handed out.

4. Time limit for all games is two (2) hours.  When the first pitch is thrown the umpires will call out the starting time of the game.  If an inning has already begun and you have reached the time limit, the inning will be finished.  An inning ends the moment the third out is made.  If the game has reached a tie at the end of the time, than one extra inning is allowed. If a team arrives late, time may be taken off the game.
