Rounders is a game played between two teams each alternating
between batting and fielding. The game originated in England and has
been played there since Tudor times, with the earliest reference being
in 1744 in A Little Pretty Pocket-Book where it is called "baseball". It
is a striking and fielding team game, which involves hitting a small,
hard, leather-cased ball with a round wooden, plastic or metal bat and
then running around four bases in order to score. The game is popular
in the UK and Ireland among school girls.
Game-play centres around innings where teams alternate at
batting and fielding. A maximum of nine players are allowed to
field at one time. Points ('rounders') are scored by the batting
team by completing a circuit around the field through four bases
or posts without being put 'out'.
In 1828, William Clarke in London
published the second edition of The
Boy’s Own Book which included rules of
rounders, and contains the first
printed description in English of a bat
and ball base-running game played on a
diamond. The following year, the book
was published in Boston.
The ball circumference must be 190 mm (7.5 inches) and
the bat no more than 460 mm (18") in length and 170 mm
(6.75" ) in diameter. Each base is marked with poles, which
must be able to support themselves and stand at a minimum
of 1m (1 yard). Approved rounders equipment must be used
by the England Team - WAFTsports are the exclusive
suppliers to the England team of their unique aluminium
'Superbat' and their 'Superball'.
