General

You will be required to be available on AIM a reasonable amount of time. If for some reason you cannot, you will need to be in contact with your opponents to get your games played.
Should anyone fall behind in playing their games, it will be at the discretion of the commissioner how to handle the situation.
Quitting games will absolutely not be tolerated. This is for fun, so don't ruin it, or waste the time of the people who are interested in playing. If you quit, you will be immediately removed from the league.
Be sure to record every game using the built-in recording option for Nestopia. Any issues that arise out of a game that was not recorded will likely be "unrulable" and need to be replayed.
If a glitch occurs, and the game can be proved to have been played to the 5th inning (via a recorded video), MLB 5th inning rain-out rules will apply. If not, the game will need to be replayed.
The IF fly rule will not be enforced due to its subjectivity. If it seems as if a player abuses this, it will be at the commissioner's discretion on how to handle it. Please be a good sport and play the game with some class.
Intentionally fouling balls is also difficult to enforce due to its subjectivity. See above rule.
For this season, your batters can play any non-pitching fielding position.
Intentionally fouling balls to drain a pitcher's stamina is bad form and should not be practiced. Enforcing this will be difficult due to its subjectivity, but I'm trusting in the integrity of the guys in the league, so this should not be a problem.

After the game

Make sure to communicate that both parties got the save state before leaving...this is important in case something goes wrong, both parties will have a backup.
The winner of the game is usually responsible for uploading the save state, although either party can do this.
When uploading a tournament game, please choose the appropriate ROM for that tournament
The winner of the game is responsible for posting a recap of the game in this forum.

Pitching

Only one starting pitcher may be used per game.
You must start the game with your SP. A reliever cannot start the game.
A starting pitcher may not be used in back-to-back games that are part of a series, you must alternate them.
You may not use a guy from your bench if it results in the 2nd starting pitcher to enter the game the next inning
Anything goes style, so curve, knuckleball, fastball. Basically, throw whatever kind of pitch you want to strike out the opposing batter
When a new batter comes to the plate, the pitcher must wait until the batter is set. The batter can indicate that they are ready by taking one practice swing. This will give the batter enough time to sub in players.
