Sportsmanship
Please, everyone.... lets 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 they're 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
a player can be walked by the opposing coach by announcing to the umpire. The batter can only be walked once per game.

Pitches
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, its 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 its more than one player its 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.
