1999 Season
Manchester Softball League Results and Standings for the 1999 season. Some notes on the results of the games from this season…
- “Forfeit” means the home team (first named) lost; “walk-over” means they won. In either case, the result is classes as a win with 0 runs conceded in 7 innings. The forfeitting team’s RCI is unaffected.
- Points are awarded as follows: 3 for a win, 2 for a tie, 1 for a loss, 0 for a forfeit. Teams on the same points are separated by head-to-head results, or by runs conceded (RC) per inning fielded (I).
Division 1
Division 1 consisted of 10 teams playing each other twice. Standings were split into two conferences. Season ends with play-off between the two conference leaders for the title, and other play-offs for 3rd/4th, 5th/6th. The two bottom teams are relegated.
