Rules of Rounders

GG_Allins_Gutrot

Simple to follow rules of Rounders:

Batting:
• When not in bat, please wait behind the designated safety marker
• You get 3 chances to hit the ball
• You can run to or past the first base on any hit, you can only run on a
miss if it’s the third ball and you didn’t hit the first 2 balls (miss all 3)
• If you hit the first 2 balls and decide not to run, but miss the third ball –
you are out
• If the ball you hit is caught by any member of the fielding team before it
touches the floor – you are out
• If the ball you hit is thrown by a fielder and gets to the base you are
running towards before you do – you have been stumped and are
out
• When starting to run – please do not release the bat until half way
between the batting station and first base – if it is deemed that the bat
was released in a dangerous way – you are out
• The batting team can keep batting until all players are out, or, until the
last batter fails to make a complete rounder

Scoring:
• A team can only score when in bat
• If you complete a full rounder from 1 hit – 2 points
• If you complete a full rounder with breaks at bases – 1 point

Fielding:
• There are 4 bases – each base must be occupied by a base guard
• Base guards only can stump the player in bat running towards them
• Person on first base must be nude
• Fielders can be placed anywhere around the playing area
• Anyone on the fielding team can make a catch to get the batter out

Bowling:
• Bowlers must bowl under arm from the designated bowling area
• The bowler must aim the ball between hip and shoulder of the batter
• In the event of a no ball – the batter will have the choice of an extra
ball or walk to first base

Remember:
• It is fun
• The umpire decision is final on game rules and safety
