- Top of a new inning begins with visiting team placing their last recorded out on 2nd base as a base runner.
- Visiting team begins with 1 out.
- When 3 outs or max run limit for that age is reached, home team bats to finish the extra inning.
- Bottom of a new inning begins with home team placing their last recorded out on 2nd base as a base runner.
- Home team begins with 1 out.
- If the home team goes ahead by 1 run, the game ends.
- If 3 outs are recorded and the score is still tied, start a new inning using tie breaker rules (see bullet point 1)
- Continue until one team wins.
