SPN 175 Foot Rule for Ontario Only

All outfielders (min 4 outfielders - no rover) must be positioned 175 feet or more, and cannot throw the batter-baserunner out at first base; - "A defensive line consisting of an arc 175 feet from home plate shall be used. No outfielder (minimum of four) is allowed in front of the line until the ball is hit.
If this is violated, the offence has the option of taking the result of the play or an award of one base to
the batter and all runners. No outfielder may make a force out on the batter-baserunner at first base."
This rule will be only for Ontario Provincial Championships and leagues and tournaments
that decide to adopt it. This rule is NOT in effect for RSPA Slo-Pitch
