Read my account of the protest in our district 9/10 tournament from Saturday night. This whole situation was botched up. You guys obviously need a new TD. ...
Guess I must be considered a lazy DA as I've had to use the home team scorekeeper in allot of my games. It is amazing though that my district is hosting 4...

In my case, District is hosting this tournament and all games are being played in one complex. Knock on wood, but we have had absolutely no problems this year...
So far my district's part of the tournament is doing well. The neighboring district has had two forfeits and several failures to meet MPR. To quote that DA the...

My only problem this year has been the weather. Rained 18 days in June and second most rainfall ever in June. Nice for running my first tournament, huh? I'm...

Mike, Weather is killing us down in Dist. 16 and all around Houston for that matter. We also had the 2nd wettest June in history, nearly 19 inches and only an...
What did I miss? The manager attempted to protest before the umpires left the field but was ignored. The TD brought the umpires back (properly, in my opinion)...
Bruce, I sure Austin/San Antonio is getting wet also, as well as the Waco and Ft. Worth area. We completely lost the past two nights, but this afternoon is ...
TD MAY NOTE EVER (Did I say ever?) ignore or deny a protest. The ONLY one who can is W'Port. That being said, I would strongly advise the manager A& league ...

This occurred to me while doing bases last night.... R2 & R3. In a pickoff attempt at 2B, R2 is obstructed. Since this Type A, you immediately call Time and...

The punishment doesn't exactly fit the crime, though...the batting team would be happy to have R2 safely back on 2B. They now wind up with a run in and R3....
