SPECIAL GRINCH RULES:


Each team gets:

  • 1 Offensive DO-OVER
  • 1 Defensive DO-OVER


Use it anytime — take away a home run, a diving catch, a grand slam…
BE THE GRINCH AND RUIN SOMEONE’S FUN! 😂
Just tell the umpire you want to use your DO-OVER / Mulligan.

⚠️ If you argue about it… you may lose it.



LANGUAGE / UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR

Drop an F-Bomb within earshot of the umpire or director?


➡️ GRINCH TAKES AWAY 1 RUN
or
➡️ Removes 1 defensive player for a full inning


Unsportsmanlike conduct:
Lose a run and possibly get ejected.

This weekend is about having FUN, not “win at all costs.”

💣 HOME RUNS AFTER THE LIMIT

Hit HRs after your team has used its allotted limit?


➡️ 1 OUT + 1 RUN REMOVED
(Sorry—not sorry. The Grinch loves pain.)


🚭 PARK RULES (SERIOUS)

  • NO sunflower seeds
  • NO smoking
  • NO outside food or drinks

Violation = lost runs and/or possible ejection

We LOVE these parks and want to keep them in our rotation — please help us protect them.


🟢 STEALING IN SLOWPITCH?

YES! The Grinch LOVES stealing.

Once the pitch hits the ground, runners may advance at their own risk.


🎄 FESTIVE BONUS POINTS

Dress festive — ugly sweaters, Christmas costumes, Grinch green, etc.

The most festive teams or player Will be rewarded!!



IMPORTANT NOTE:

The Grinch or Event Staff reserves the right to take away runs, players, or even forfeit a team for rule violations or un-Grinch-like behavior.
