Tournament Rules:
- Teams consist of a maximum of 8 players (4 females and 4 males). A team may start and continue a game with a minimum of 6 players (3 females and 3 males).
- Games consist of 7 innings or 55 minutes.
- Kickball is played on a regulation softball field.
- A batting order must be presented before the game, and males and females must alternate.
- The ball is put in play when the pitcher rolls the ball toward home plate and the batter attempts to kick the ball. The batter must wait for the ball to be within three feet of home plate before kicking the ball. If the batter does not like the pitch, he/she should not attempt to kick it, and another pitch will be thrown. There are no strikeouts or walks. A batter gets only two attempts at kicking the ball. A missed attempt or foul ball on the second attempt is considered an out.
- A runner who leaves the base before the pitch reaches home plate or is hit, is out and the ball is dead. Leading off and stealing bases between pitches is not allowed.
- The batter is out in situations similar to softball (forceouts, popouts, etc.). In addition, a runner is out when he/she is hit by a thrown ball below the shoulders.
