Sportsmanship
Please, everyone.... let's remember why we're out here. It's about the kids and not the adults. Please don't say anything negative about your child or anyone else's child. Everyone will make mistakes and they don't need mom or dad reminding them of what they did wrong. The same thing goes for the officiating. They're human and can make mistakes too. The umpires and players will do their job. Let the players play and the umpires, umpire. Please don't put it in the hands of umpires or Tournament Director to eject you.

Walks

lead runner dictates when time is called. Juking and clapping is considered stopping and time will be called.

6 pitches with NO continuous fouls on the last and final 6th pitch. If the ball is not in play on the last pitch, the batter is out. 3 strikes and the batter is out.
Birth Certificates
Coaches, it's your responsibility to have them handy in case one of your players gets protested. If you don't have it to show during a protest you will forfeit.
Protest Fee
Protest fee is $50. Protesting coach must let tournament director which player he's protesting. If it's more than one player it's an additional $50 and $50 for every player, you want to protest. This rule is set for teams that suspect but aren't sure. Some kids are big, but it doesn't mean they're too old. My suggestion is to be absolutely sure if you're protesting a player.
If protesting coach wins his protest, he gets his money back and wins the game. Protest must be made before the game is over. If he loses, he loses protest fee.
