Procedures and Regulations

  1. All contests shall be governed by High School Federation Rules where applicable and/or as amended by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference and the Central Connecticut Conference.
  2. All games in the regular season will use this game ending procedure:
  • A “regulation game” (4-1/2 innings if the home team is ahead – 5 full innings if the visiting team is ahead) is called for any reason other than forfeit (WHERE A WINNER CANNOT BE DETERMINED according to NFHS Rule 4-2-2); shall be treated as a suspended game and shall be competed at some later date.
  • A game that has NOT reached “regulation length” shall be declared “NO GAME” (regardless of the score) and shall be replayed from the beginning at some later date.
  • Note:  Although a contest is declared “NO GAME” the CIAC pitching restriction rule shall still be applied.  
    1. The length of varsity games to be counted for division championship play shall be ruled by the umpire-in-chief in accordance with the established rules.
    2. Warm up time for visitors for a 3:45 game shall be 3:25 p.m. to 3:40 p.m.  Home teams shall warm up prior to 3:25 p.m.  (Comparable times for evening games).
    3. A first quality ball shall be used for all games.
    4. Conference games will be scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
    5. Afternoon starting time – no later than 3:45 p.m.  Evening varsity starting time – no later than 7:00 p.m.
    6. Teams will play own division twice within their region and once with other divisions in the region for 14 (or 15) games.
    7. Teams will be scheduled 3 (or 4) crossovers in the other regions to complete an 18 game schedule.
    8. No junior varsity or freshman game shall have an inning start after 6:00 p.m.
    9. Tie games: legal games (5 innings) ending in a tie shall remain a tie for purposes of recording divisional standings.  This applies to “inter” as well as “intra” divisional games.  However, C.I.A.C. tournament ranking is based solely on wins and losses.
  • Four (4) divisions with eight (8) teams in each division – two (2) pods in each division (Patriot and Colonial); play teams in your pod twice and once in the other pod for a total of 10 divisional games.  These games would be used to determine the divisional champs.  There would be eight (8) divisional champs (4 from the Patriot Division and 4 from the Colonial Division).  Should teams end up with the identical records, divisional champ(s) would be recognized.

Scheduling:

  • Rank the eight (8) teams in each division 1-8 based on a two (2) year record – current school year record and previous year.
  • Schedule six (6) crossovers – 1 and 2 ranked teams play the other 1 and 2 ranked teams in the other divisions, 3 and 4 play the other 3 and 4 teams, 5 and 6 play the other 5 and 6 teams, 7 and 8 play the other 7 and 8 teams. Crossovers will be reviewed/adjusted on a two-year rotation to allow for a home & away setup.   (Four of the south teams will have to play one opponent from the opposite pod for a second time).
  • Tie breaker to be used when ranking teams:  a) Head to Head, b) Over-all record using the CCC scheduled contests, c) By lot.
  • Schedule sixteen (16) contests for the following sports:  B/G Soccer, G. Volleyball, B/G Basketball, Baseball, Softball  
  • Schools will have the same four (4) open dates
  • Scheduler will need to announce the 1-8 rankings for each sport.
