Scoring the Game

As Indoor Softball scoring is more complex than the outdoor it is usually done by a non-player who scores for both teams. Points are scored as following

•  1 Point

for each batter who safely reaches 1B - the batter gets 1 additional point for each base they reach on their turn at bat (even if they stop at each base before advancing on an overthrow or mis-fielded ball etc) base runners do not get points as they advance to the next base on another batter's turn at bat, except for the following circumstance:-

•  1 Point

is given for each base runner who safely crosses home

•  5 Points

are scored for a Homerun and additional 1 Point for each runner on base when the Homerun was hit. (A point is subtracted if the batter is caught off the back wall).

• - 1 Point

for each out made by the defensive team. Note it is perfectly possible for a team to have a negative score!!

Additional Outs will be given for ( -1pt )

Any ball hit over the nets 

Any ball that is a direct hit on the ceiling

If a ball lands in fair territory then rolls into the dead area

Sliding - To avoid damage to the flooring and to yourself, we must enforce this policy - Sliding into bases = OUT!
