Kickball in Sowal

How 'bout a game of Smear the Queer.

What are the rules?? I can't remember- that is one from the memory vault!

Do you guys already have a kickball, or do we need to buy one or two?

i have a barbie kickball.

Count me in!:clap_1:

I'm not very coordinated but, damn it, I've got heart!

What about a friendly game of dodge ball?

KICKBALL RULES​

We'll try these...see how it goes...


The More The Merrier. Everyone (adults) is Welcome.
Except Bullies And Crybabies. We have enough of those already.

She Who Holds The Clipboard Holds the Power.
Right or wrong, She has the final word in all disputes. No arguing. It's a bad vibe for someone who isn't getting paid to be your girlfriend.

It's Only A Game. Chill Out...
The First Team To Score 10 Runs Wins The Game.
All bases must be touched by the runner to count.

Four Fouls Is An Out.
No bunting: a kick must travel more than half the distance to the pitcher or it is foul. 3 outs is an inning.

A Caught Pop-up Is An Out, Even If It Is Foul.
However, if a foul ball is caught and dropped, it stays foul. No runners advance.

Tagging Up Is Allowed After A Fair Catch.
If a fair pop-up is caught, the kicker is OUT but any base runners can run like hell to the next base IF they wait on base until the kick is caught OR run back and touch that base, then advance. All ties go to the runner.
You Are Out If You Come In Contact With The Ball.

A FORCE OUT is when the ball beats a runner to a base and there is another runner on the base behind. Otherwise, RUNNERS MUST BE TAGGED OUT. In UKA, a runner can run outside of the baseline and all the way to Loisaida to not get tagged OUT. If they can make it to a base without being touched by the ball, they're safe. However, no matter how a runner comes into contact with the ball, even an accidental ricochet off the backstop, they're OUT if touched.

A Runner Can Advance Only ONE Base On An Overthrow.
And - as in life - Stealing is just plain wrong.

Never EVER Throw The Ball At Anyone's Head.
See Rule #3. Beaned players advance a base. Beaners suffer scorn.

I agree with the rules, but I don't understand...Foul or Fair territory....if a ball is caught....how is it dropped?

Think we shall cross through that second line about the ball being dropped...

MJ - can't wait to see you and your gal pal tomorrow. I hear you're bringing friends?

bring it on. i am on my way to the field.

great game, tons of funn. same time same place next week. see you there...if you can handle it.

I can handle it, but I will be elsewhere next Sunday. Wait a minute. I may come back in town just for kickball. I ain't scared, even though your team did win today ;-). Good game.

ScarletB, thanks for putting it all together and making it happen, and a special thanks to Charlie, the Man with the Clipboard, keeping us all straight.

No, thanks to all for coming. It was sooo much fun! Too bad 1/2 the crowd showed up late. I have grass stains for like, the first time in years (so sorry you missed the FALL, Kurt, really). And yes, special thanks to Charlie. I hear we have a 1st base ref/ump and a 3rd base ref/ump signed up for next week. Just hope they're on time.

SOOO...
