DUGOUTS
• Ball on the top step of the dugout is in play.
• The facings of railings surrounding the dugout areas are in play.
• A live ball (batted, thrown or otherwise) striking any screen or protective netting set on the field- facing wall or railing (e.g., a backstop or protective netting) and rebounding onto the field is live and in play. Any additional screening set behind an out of play area (e.g., dugout, photo or camera well) shall be considered out of play. Thus, any ball striking such screening is dead regardless of whether it ricochets back onto the field of play.

TARP
• A ball lodging behind or under canvas on field tarp is out of play.
• A ball striking the field tarp and rebounding onto the playing field is in play.

OUTFIELD WALL
• All yellow lines are in play.
• A batted ball in flight striking above the yellow line is a homerun.
• A batted ball in flight striking to the right of the vertical yellow line in the centerfield area is a homerun.
• A batted ball in flight striking to the left of the vertical yellow line in the left field area is a homerun.
• A ball resting on the lower padding along the bullpen fencing is in play.
• A ball should be considered out of play (“lodged”) if it comes to rest atop the third or higher tier on the inclined padded wall in the right and left field corners.
• A live ball striking the blue padding (including concrete and fan safety railing) in foul territory and rebounding onto the playing field is in play. However, a live ball striking the unpadded fan safety railing in foul territory is considered a dead ball.
• Any batted ball in fair territory that, in flight, strikes any portion of a higher wall at a point above a lower wall, which then bounds over the lower wall is a home run.
