1. Identify Your Field:

• Choose a suitable area to set up your Benji Ball field.
• Set up bases for first, second, third, home plate, and the pitcher’s mound. (Stay tuned for our Benji Ball bases, coming soon!)
• You can play indoors or outdoors but avoid pavement or gravel to prevent damage to the equipment.

2. Field Arrangement:

• In a gym or small area, designate any space that you deem reasonable for the "outfield" and "foul ball" zones.
• We recommend placing bases 20 feet apart and in a diamond shape, just like traditional baseball.

1. Wild Card Sides:

• At the start of the game, teams decide what the "BENJI BALL" sides mean. Get creative!
• Examples: Automatic home run, automatic out, switch hitting hands, etc.

2. Game Start:

• Teams roll the ball; the better outcome chooses whether to bat or field first.

3. Disputes:

• Resolve disputes with a ball roll-off. The team with the better roll gets their way.

1. Pitching:

• Pitch underhand or overhand – your choice!
• Each batter gets a maximum of three pitches to keep the game moving.

2. Batting:

• After each at-bat, the next player in line steps up to bat.
• A game consists of nine innings, with three outs per inning.

3. Fielding:

• Position players on first, second, and third base, and spread others out however you please. Make sure to have the outfield covered!

1. Home Runs & Hits:

• Solo Home Run: Ball lands on "HOME RUN" with no players on base, or hit over a home run fence.
• Two Runs: Home run with one player on base.
• Three Runs: Home run with two players on base or a hit that brings two players home.
• Four Runs (Grand Slam): Home run with bases loaded or ball lands on "GRAND SLAM".
• Other Hits: Single, Double, and Triple outcomes advance the players on base accordingly.
• No bunting allowed to keep the game upbeat and energetic.

2. Ghost Runners:

• Used when fewer than four players are on a team.
• Ghost runners hold their base, allowing the batter to hit while maintaining base runners.

1. For Younger Kids or Limited Mobility:

• Use a cone or tee for hitting.
• Allow hits to roll and rely on the ball's outcome to determine plays without rushing.

2. For Ample Space:

• If the ball rolls out of the infield, let it stop to determine the outcome.
• Fielders can make plays in the infield or catch fly balls for outs.
• Hits off of walls that are caught count as an out.

• Avoid swinging the bat near others to prevent injuries.

• Backyard on Grass
• At the Beach
• Your Local Park
• Gymnasium
• Avoid Pavement or Gravel
