FAQ

What Rules Does Rizzler Check Automatically?

Rizzler's rule compliance engine automatically monitors pitch count limits, rest day requirements, the catcher-to-pitcher rule, and minimum play requirements during games and across your schedule. When a rule is about to be violated (or already has been), Rizzler alerts you before the mistake costs you a game.

Rules Rizzler Checks

Rule	What Rizzler Does	When It Alerts You
Pitch count limits	Tracks every pitch during in-game scoring	When a pitcher approaches or hits the daily limit
Rest day requirements	Calculates rest days from pitch count data	Before a game, if a pitcher isn't eligible yet
Catcher-to-pitcher rule	Tracks catcher innings alongside pitching data	When you try to assign a catcher to pitch after 4+ innings
Minimum play	Tracks batting and fielding appearances per player	Mid-game, if a player hasn't met the minimum by a critical inning
Playing time tracking	Logs every inning each player is in the game	Season-long; flags uneven playing time distribution

Which League Rules Are Built In?

Rizzler ships with built-in rule sets for Little League International, USSSA, and Perfect Game. Little League, the most common and most strictly enforced youth baseball rulebook, is the default and covers:

Daily pitch count limits by age (50-95 pitches)
Rest day calculations (0-4 calendar days)
Catcher-to-pitcher restrictions (4-inning and 41-pitch thresholds)
Minimum play requirements (1 AB + 6 defensive outs)

Can I Set Custom Rules?

Yes. If your league uses Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken or local modified rules, you can set custom pitch count limits, rest day tables, and playing time minimums in Rizzler. The compliance engine enforces whatever rules you configure. (USSSA and Perfect Game don't need custom setup; their rule sets are built in.)

How Do Alerts Work?

Rizzler alerts you in two places:

During games: While scoring, you'll see a warning when a pitcher is 5 pitches from the daily limit, when a player hasn't met minimum play requirements, or when a catcher-to-pitcher conflict would occur.

Before games: On your game planning screen, Rizzler shows which pitchers are eligible based on rest day calculations from previous games. Ineligible pitchers are grayed out so you can't accidentally assign them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Rizzler prevent me from breaking a rule, or just warn me?

Rizzler warns you. It flags the conflict and explains the rule. You can override the warning; the final decision is always yours. But the warning is logged, so you have documentation if a question arises later.

What if my league has rules Rizzler doesn't know about?

Set custom rules in your team settings. You can configure any pitch count limit, rest day schedule, or playing time minimum. Rizzler's compliance engine adapts to whatever rules you set.

Is rule compliance tracking included in the Free plan?

Yes. Rule compliance checking (pitch count limits, rest days, catcher-to-pitcher, and minimum play) is included on every plan, including Free. The one compliance tool that requires the Club plan is the organization dashboard, which shows compliance across all teams in a league.

Does the organization dashboard show rule compliance across all teams?

Yes. League administrators on the Club plan see compliance data for every team through the organization dashboard.
