We're not shooting the messenger - we've heard the same reasoning before - it didn't hold water then, and still doesn't hold water now. Regardless, LL Inc has...

First night of tournament play. With 4 outs until the game becomes official, home team is loosing 1,000 to 0 (or something like that) when the game is stopped...
We had the exact same situation in a 10s winner's bracket game the other night. Team is winning 20-0 in the top of 3 when the game is called for lightning....
That would have made sense to me, too... but, if you remember some of my other posts... I get in enough trouble with the big dogs when I know what I am talking...
Not here either, but I'm not working the rest of the 10s, I don't think. Car woes are sidelining me. What part of FL are you in? Are we talking about the...
Well - it depends if the TD ran it up the line or not. Only the Tournament Committee at Williamsport can authorize a forfeiture. I have been in situations...
As far as I know, this went up the chain at the same time as the call about whether or not the 5-4 game in the bottom of the 4th I was working was "official"...
Manager can concede any time they choose. Mandatory to "concede" when 10 rule conditions have been met. Any "other" concession should be reviewed by the...
On page T-4, the LGB says alternates are not authorized nor may they accompany the team. Yet further down on page T-7, tournament teams can replace players ...
I don't think conceding is an option. Let's look at pool play, shall we? If I'm playing a pool play game, and just need to allow less than 7 runs to advance,...
This is specifically addressed in the Pool Play Guidelines: N. A manager is not permitted to purposely forfeit any game for the purpose of engineering the...
The OP was about a DE tournament. DE or pool, no one can force a manager to remain. They can choose to leave (the team follows or not), they can choose to...
District 2 ... South Brevard (not BrOward!!) County.... Melbourne/Palm Bay Area.... That game was on a different field... interestingly, my game was moving...
Sounds exactly almost exactly like what happened here in D4 in Polk County. Creepy. Jay FL 4 ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I think it was a storm coming down from the North. I just looked at Google, Winter Haven is about 75 miles due west of Palm Bay (Where the game was)95 as the...
Glad to hear you are ok. Up here in Wisconsin we had one fly into a hill about 3 months ago. Weirdest thing, it's a route that the pilot has flown 100s of...
LLBB, 11-12. Last night. I am U1. B1 walks. F2 throws ball to F3, who conceals the spheroid. B1 (thankfully) stops at 1B. F1 gets on the rubber without the...
I got ..... łTime. Hey, Bucko, give the pitcher the ball so we can play.˛ If B1 had rounded bag (or moved off bag) and was tagged prior to F1 getting on or...
What is a balk in 13 and up is an illegal pitch in 12 and under. Simple as that. Yes, when the pitcher took the rubber without the ball while the ball was...
... Simple as ... the ball ... pitch, ... count is ... This is what I thought, but didn't want to jump into the game. I did a King Solomon. I stand corrected. ...
Just to add another twist to this (since it wasn't defined in OP), at the time pitcher was on or astride the plate without the ball, was there a batter? If...
Why not? What does the batter have to do with it? Clearly intentioned to deceive the runner. Has nothing to do w/ the batter. Bob ... From: "Bill Bruce"...

If the batter had yet to take his position in the box, I would probably just either ignore it or do a "Don't do that". Jerry ... at the time pitcher was on or...
I understand the gist of Bill's question. Some 8.05 infractions may typically be ignored if play is relaxed (no batter, catcher is going to get his mask from...
