What is Jaguar Kickball?

Jaguar Kickball is a fundraiser put on by the Hartford Wild Roses Rugby Football Club. Our fundraising events are integral to the success of our team. The money goes to help ensure we have the equipment, refs, field space, medical, and all other necessities covered to allow the legacy of Hartford Roses to continue on for many years to come. We have been holding the event for several years now -and it is always a blast!

For the entrance fee you get all the food you can eat, all the beer you can drink, and at least two games (depending on how many teams enter). Costumes are more than encouraged (considering there is a prize given out for the best-dressed team). Get creative and come have some fun with us!

All attendees of the tournament must be 21 years of age or older. It is against the law to buy, serve, or allow underage drinking. We ask all participants and fans to adhere to the law. Anyone under the age of 30 is subject to an identification check, so please have photo identification on hand. We hold the right to refuse concessions, and/or excuse any person from participating due to disrespectful behavior. We are thankful for your participation and ask that you help us throw a fun and successful event for everyone involved!

Three most important rules governing the entire event: Have Fun – Be Respectful – And NEVER Spill Your Beer!

RULES OF THE GAME

1. The official is always right.

2. Games are 7 innings long or 35 minutes.

3. Every player shall bat once each inning. When the last batter of an inning puts the ball into play, the inning will end either when the batter has been put out, cored, or when the defense is in possession of the ball while touching home plate. No tag is necessary at home plate on the final out.

4. The batter is out in situations similar to softball (forceouts, popouts, etc.) In addition, a runner is out when s/he is hit by a thrown ball below the waist.

5.  A batter has only one attempt at kicking the ball. A missed attempt or a foul ball is an out.

6. In order to prevent injury and protect the defensive player attempting to make a play on a base runner, the base runner must be called out ifs/he remains standing and deliberately, with great force, crashes into a defensive player holding the ball, waiting to apply a tag. If the act is determined to be flagrant, the offender shall also be ejected from the tournament. This also means no more beer.

7. Bunting will not be permitted and is considered a dead ball and an automatic out.

8. Rock-Paper-Scissor will determine which team bats first. Be ready to bat in proper order. Please hustle on and off the field as there is a limited time in effect (except in semi final and final games).

9. Teams must furnish a scorekeeper in the event of a protest.

10. Any player can play any position defensively.

11. Each team must have at least three players of each sex. Teams must alternate batting order by sex as far down the order as possible.

12. Ties will be decided by a boat race between the two teams (aka, a beer chugging contest. If you are a non-drinker, water is acceptable).
