Dan, Since there is no governing body or vintage league by-laws there really are no set standard of rules to go by. This can be good and this can also cause problems. You need to talk to the opposing team's representative before the game begins to figure out what rules are in play and what are not.

As far as the practice of free-substitution, the Senators usually let the player count dictate how we sub. If we have 10 or 11 players then we let everyone hit in the line-up. We don't use free substitution but we are flexible enough to allow it in case of injury or if someone gets called away from the game for personal reasons. we try to get everyone in and make it enjoyable for everyone. At the end of the day we are really out there to just play ball in a very friendly and sportsmanlike way, yet compete and try to win.

Let me through this out there as a newcomer. What is allowed during
games with player substitutions. Is there open substitutions? Can
player come out and re-enter a few innings later in a different
batting order? Is re-entering allowed? If only 12 players show for a
game, can all 12 bat in the order? Is all this determined on a game-by
game basis?

By the way, the Wheelmen had their first practice today and we had a
blast. We will be ready!
