- Each club gets two manager challenges to start every All-Star Game and postseason game, and one to start every other game.
- A club keeps its challenge if the replay official overturns any challenged call, and loses it if no calls are overturned. A manager may challenge several reviewable calls within a single play using one challenge.
- Once a club has used up its challenges, it cannot challenge any further play or call in the game.
- The manager holds his hands up immediately after the play. The umpire then starts a 15-second timer, and the manager must decide before it reaches zero or the request is denied.
- The manager must make sure the umpire knows which specific calls he wants reviewed, but need not give his reason.
