Here are the rules of BashBall:
- SET-UP
- BashBall is played on a rectangular field (sized appropriately for each grade level) that has three different zones for players to defend.
- BashBall fields are set up in one quarter of a high school football field.
- OFFENSE
- The offensive team has 5 minutes to get as many at-bats as possible.
- Each hitter gets two pitches maximum per at-bat. These are front-toss pitches from their coach.
- Hitters earn runs by hitting the ball through the defense and into or past the three zones. The further they hit it, the more runs they collect.
- There is no baserunning.
- DEFENSE
- 6 players are stationed on defense at a time, 2 players per defensive zone.
- Defensive players earn outs by catching line drives, pop outs, and fly balls.
- Defensive players prevent runs by stopping balls from reaching the next defensive zone.
- SCORING
- The offensive team has five minutes to get as many at bats and runs as possible based on the distance the ball travels:
-
Hit it into the 1-Run Box and earn one run.
- Hit it into the 2-Run Box and earn two runs.
- Hit it into the Slam Box on the ground and earn three runs.
- Hit it into the Slam Box in the air and earn four runs.
- Lose a run for every out a hitter makes. Outs are made by:
- Not putting the ball in play after two pitches.
- Hitting a ball that is caught in the air.
- Hitting a ball that does not get past the Bash Line and never reaches the 1-Run Box.
