The regulations for the 53rd National Baseball Series have just arrived in my Gmail box before the Cuban National Commission made them official. Its subject states: New Rules, it has an attached document with headings and sub - headings, with resolutions, with the rules that according to this email should govern the new tournament.
The file is long. Now I will just point out its main topics, what it is really relevant and glaringly obvious at once.
Of course, the payments to players are already included with their shares in reliance on individual leaderships. It was also easily assumed that this step would also bring fines. In this case, the regulation clarifies that the players guilty of indiscipline both on and off the field will be fined.
The amount to be paid by the sanctions will be 200 Cuban pesos (CUP) for offenders. In this section there is a subsection devoted to clarify that if the indiscipline is an attack on another person with an object, this player would immediately be expelled from the tournament.
Another major new feature is the increase of the reinforcements for qualified teams once completed the regular stage. Now each manager could ask for 7 (last season were 5) players from the rest of the squads not involved in the second round.
In this season is entirely compulsory the psychologists, doctors and physiotherapists from each team to travel with their teams to the provinces. The document also clarifies that team managers are responsible, solely and exclusively, to discuss the field rules prior to the start of the game.
The regulation does not speak about the issue of the use of video on challenged calls, so it is deduced that it was another rumor, then we should expect for other leaked mail, another wallet theft to inform us on our baseball.
