League-Wide Rule Compliance

Last season, two games in your league ended in protests over pitch count violations. One coach didn't track rest days correctly. Another pitched a kid who had caught four innings earlier in the game, a clear catcher-to-pitcher violation. Both resulted in forfeits, angry families, and board meetings nobody wanted. Rizzler's rule compliance checking catches these violations before they happen, right in the dugout where they start.

What Rule Compliance Checking Does

When coaches in your league use Rizzler for pitch tracking, in-game scoring, and game planning, every decision gets checked against the rulebook as they make it. The rule checks work on every plan, including Free, so every coach in your league can have them.

Compliance Area	What Rizzler Checks
Pitch count limits	Pitchers staying within daily maximums
Rest day requirements	Required rest days before a pitcher takes the mound again
Catcher-to-pitcher rule	Catchers who can't legally move to the mound
Minimum play	Every player getting required at-bats and defensive outs
Substitution rules	Substitutions made within the rules

How It Works

Real-time alerts for coaches: Rizzler warns coaches before a violation occurs. If a pitcher approaches the pitch count limit, the coach sees a warning on their phone. If a player hasn't met minimum play by the fifth inning, a flag appears. This catches most violations at the source, in the dugout, before they become problems.

Checks while planning, not just in-game: Because the rules engine runs while a coach builds a game plan, problems like a scheduled starter who won't have enough rest surface days before first pitch, when they're easy to fix.

Consistent across the league: When every coach plans in Rizzler, every team gets checked against the same rulebook. League directors also get organization-level visibility that expands as the organization dashboard grows.

The Compliance Conversation

Having compliance data changes how boards handle disputes. Instead of investigating he-said-she-said complaints, the coach's own game log has the facts:

"Coach, your game log shows that on May 15th, your pitcher threw 72 pitches. He pitched again on May 17th, and that's only one calendar day of rest when the rule requires three. Can you walk me through what happened?"

That's a factual conversation, not an accusation. The data is there because the coach logged the game in Rizzler.

Preventing Violations vs. Catching Them

The goal isn't to police coaches after the fact; it's to prevent violations before they happen. Rizzler's rule compliance feature does the prevention work at the coach level, on every plan.

Most coaches who violate rules do it accidentally, not maliciously. They lost track of a pitch count. They miscounted rest days. They forgot which catcher caught four innings. Rizzler eliminates those accidental violations for coaches who use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the compliance data live?

With each team. Coaches see pitch counts, rest day status, and minimum play tracking for their own roster in the app, game by game. League directors get organization-level visibility that expands as the organization dashboard grows.

What if a coach overrides a Rizzler warning?

The warnings inform; they don't lock coaches out. A coach can proceed if they believe the situation calls for it, and the game itself is still recorded, so the pitch counts and rest days end up in the team's game log either way.

Does this replace the official pitch count tracker?

Rizzler can serve as the official pitch count record if your league adopts it league-wide. Many leagues use Rizzler as the official digital record alongside the traditional paper tracker as backup.

Can we share compliance reports with district?

Rizzler doesn't generate district compliance exports. Per-game pitch counts and rest day records are viewable in the app for every logged game, so you have the underlying numbers on hand when filling out district paperwork.

Is compliance checking available on the Pro plan?

Yes, and on the Free plan too. Rule compliance checking works for every coach on every plan. The Club plan ($79/mo) covers up to 20 teams and 300 players, so your whole league can run on one subscription.

Stop rule violations before they happen. Rizzler checks every game plan against the rulebook, on every plan. Compare plans.
