At the "Manager's Corner" you will find various items posted by Sam that don't quite fit within any of the main categories of information linked elsewhere on this website.

As an example, the C League managers recently voted to permit teams to use separate male-female rotations in the batting order as a means to avoid taking automatic outs by phantom females, provided that: a) there are at least three different women in the female rotation; and b) both managers agree. In other words, this new vote produced no new rule, because it's always been true that any rule (except for safety-related rules) can be modified by agreement of both managers. But, to comply with the spirit of this vote, I've tried to bend over backwards and enumerate as many situations as possible in which I would be willing to agree that our opponents could use separate male-female rotations to avoid automatic outs.

The conditions under which one team can use this alternative type of batting order should be consistent both with C League's historical long-term goal of recruiting and fielding teams with approximately 33% women, and with the more immediate aim to promote a fair matchup in the game at hand. Note, however, that defining these conditions is inherently complex. If it takes several pages in the SCMAF rulebook to define all the rules pertaining to a standard batting order, it can't be just a simple modification of existing rules to prescribe how a totally new invention like separate male-female rotations is supposed to work. As noted in my analysis and policy statement on this issue, there are at least two different ways in which separate male-female rotations can be defined to form one batting order, and both of these definitions have been used occasionally in C League with both managers' permission. Both types of rotating batting orders work with any ratio of male to female batters, not just the worst-case allowable limit of 3:1.
