OLW Rules

Playing Rules

OLW uses a modified version of the United Wiffle playing rules. We will deviate with the following exceptions;

  • Teams will play a three-game series of three-inning games on each game day;

  • The 4 balls, 2 strikes count will be used;

  • Pitchers will be limited to six regulation innings per three-game series;

  • Games will be played until their conclusion with no runners placed on bases.

  • Regular season games will be declared a tie after six-innings;

  • There will be no advancing the runners on wild pitches; a wild pitch that misses the backstop will just be a ball.

Playoff Format

  • All teams make the playoffs.

  • The Top 2 seeds will receive a bye

  • All playoff series will be a best-of-three series.

Roster Rules

  • A maximum of seven players can be rostered.

  • No roster moves will be allowed after the conclusion of Week 3 of the season.
