Introducing Screwball, where the rules change every inning

Ever wanted to play summer softball but with an avant garde approach to rules, a la Calvinball?

• The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department has the perfect alternative: Screwball, where the rules change every inning.

🥎 Here's how to play:

1st: Fielding positions are drawn at random and batters run the bases in the opposite direction.

2nd: New random positions, batters toss a ball to themselves to hit.

3rd: Kickball.

4th: Random positions, male players bat opposite-handed and batters run in the opposite direction.

5th: A 16-inch "Chicago ball" is used, batters run in the opposite direction and each run counts double.

6th: Kickball, this time with four outs.

7th: A player from the hitting team serves as pitcher.

Plus, teams get one "mulligan" that can nullify any play.
