Ok I had a situation where we played a team that was using a noise maker in the dugout while we were playing defense. It was a clapper like devise that basically was like slapping 2 spoons together. It started out as one of the parents was using it in the stands then the players got ahold of it and was using it in the dugout while our pitcher was pitching. I figured it was fine out in the stands but didn't know if it was ok in the dugout................After the game my SS told me she asked the ump if that was legal and he told her NO but didn't do anything about it.
