The Game
1. The lineup you’ve
set up will also serve as the pitching rotation. The man you put
in the leadoff spot will also pitch the first inning. The second
hitter pitches the second inning, etc. As you may have figured
out, the leadoff hitter has a much greater chance of throwing
more innings (in this case, innings #1 and #5), so most teams
tend to put their best pitcher in that spot. But you can set your
lineup (and rotation) however you like.
2. To pitch (begin
each AB), roll one of the two die. The number represents the column
you will refer to on that batter’s hit rating grid (ranks
being 1-10). Roll the second die. This is the row on that same
grid. If the corresponding square reads “O” (out),
then mark it in your “scorebook” (provided by yourself...we
recommend an average, everyday notebook). You may also land on
a “K” (strikeout), “B” (base on balls),
or “H” (basehit). If the batter got a hit (“H”),
then you move on to that batter’s presonal 6x6 “hit
grid.”
3. Exercise the
same “rolling the die” routine to determine what kind
of hit the batter got. A “1” is a single, “2”
is a double, etc, and use standard baseball rules for moving the
baserunners. In SC Wiffleball 2003 however, runners cannot score
from 2nd base on a single, or from 1st base on a double.
4. Repeat steps
2 and 3 until the third out of the inning is recorded.
5. Repeat step 4
until the game is over.
Post-Game
(or Post-Day)
1. Open the MS Excel
file we have provided and enter the stats from the game, or from
the full day! The stat’s formulas have already been written
in for you, so all you have to do is enter the numbers where they
fit and watch the season grow!
2. Play the next
set of games, or the next gameday, at your leisure, or follow
along with us as we play our games throughout the year!
Mid-Season
All Star Weekend
1. If you’d
like, you can hold your own All-Star Weekend in your personal
league! The way the All-Star Game and Rookie Game works is not
through subjective voting but through objective stat-tracking.
Sorry, but we have not yet cooked up a way to play an interleague
game with the KGJWFBL or hold a Homerun Derby.
2. After the tenth
gameday (there are 15 total in the season), stop the games for
a moment and look at the stats. Each player has a batting rating
and a pitching rating to their name, as well as a corresponding
rank number. For the All-Star Game, you combine each players’
ranks (batting rank + pitching rank). This should leave each player
with a single number. The six LOWEST numbers are in the 3 on 3
All-Star Game! For the 2 on 2 Rookie games, you take the four
LOWEST numbers from only the rookies (players participating in
season #1).
3. In the All-Star
Game, the player with the LOWEST rank number is teamed up with
the fourth-lowest number and the sixth-lowest number. This leaves
the second, third, and fifth-lowest numbers as the opposing team.
For the Rookie Game, the player with the lowest number teams with
the fourth lowest number. They take on the second and third-lowest
numbered players.
4. There is no rhyme
or reason to who is home and who is away during these two games.
Simply flip a coin, or pick favorites, or whatever other idea
you concoct.
Post-Season
1. In Wiffleball
2003 and in SC Wiffleball 2003, the top three (3) teams make the
playoffs. The #3 team and #2 team square off in a best-of-3 series
with the winner moving on to the Series at the Sac finals, a best-of-5
series with the #1 team. Practice the same rules in the postseason
games as you would the regular season games. We even set up sections
in the MS Excel file for you to record the postseason stats.
Post
Post-Season
1. Send us your
stats and/or other season info! We’d love to hear who’s
tearing it up in your league! Who’s going to the All-Star
Game? Who’s gunning for Disappointment of the Year? Who
won the Series at the Sac? Allow the other fans playing to compare
it to their own seasons. You could wait until after the season
is over or you can send us stat updates as you go through the
season! Also, send any feedback you may have for the game. This
can be in the form of flattery, insults, suggestions on how to
better the game, etc. Every thought will find an ear.
