Wiffle Ball | return

Wiffle ball was incorporated into the game sometime in the 1990s and was one of the most popular sports. During this time, most games were regulated to 5 or 7 innings.

Rules
Since the City Era, balls are not considered fair if they land outside of a straight line from 1st and 3rd base. This rule was made due to both a lack of players to field and the limited sizes of fields. Originally, force outs could be achieved with a fake throw toward the base before the player reaches the base. Eventually this was replaced with a real throw within a certain distance of the base. This rule was forgotten during the Intergame Era, and from OCT23 to c.OCT24 fake throws were again used. After the throwing rule was remembered it was brought back. A similar situation existed for throwing the ball at base runnings to tag them out.
