Indoor Hitting League

We were looking to do a hitting league for non high school players. Typically teams get points for strike outs, walks, ball hit to back of net, etc. Any examples of how to typically score, or examples of score cards?

I started a league with my teams last year where we have....
1. full line up of at least 5 to play
2. live pitchers, catchers, and umpire (coach calling pitches)
3. colored rope is across the top back 1/3 of the cage ceiling and down vertically on the side walls to establish points (balls hit up in front of rope is a fly out, past the rope is a point)
4. a large target in the back of the cage wall (for the catcher to get 1 throw down per inning. If she hits it, a point is deducted from the opponents)
5. No points for pop ups, or dribblers... Batter is out for these (our goal is line drives only)
6. 1 point for a line drive, 2 points for a holy crap, frozen rope (umps call)

This format allows for 3 teams to show up (11 or 12 on a team) we'll then divide the teams evenly and now have a 6 "Team" tournament!!!
We charged each full team $50 per tourney.... this covers the facility rental and the ump fees

If 5 or 6 teams show up the extra money will go into the organization and will be used for parties for the girls...
The big bonus here was my girls got to see live competition of pitchers, adjusting to the different blues ever-changing strike zone, are were better prepared for the next real tournament we had scheduled
