    USGF AP,DP,Flex question

    Another question. Say we have 12 players, we can essentially get them all in the game without even subbing? Am I understanding this correctly?

    USGF AP,DP,Flex question

    That's a little more understandable. The rule book is almost unreadable.

    USGF AP,DP,Flex question

    Can someone please explain the best way or how to utilize the Flex, AP, and DP? I have read the rulebook and it's the most confusing mess I've ever read. We are new to 10U so trying to be as knowledgeable as possible before the first tournament. Thanks in advance.

    Time Limit Question

    Well, I always have my rule book with me at games, in the dugout. I knew the rule without the book, but needed it to show the umpire, who had no clue. The only reason I couldn't find my rule book is because my wife had taken it in the house the night before to look up some rules about different...

    Time Limit Question

    I told them multiple times that the game was being protested. The UIC said "no it's not" and walked off.

    Time Limit Question

    90 minute time limit, no drop dead. Any inning that starts has to be finished. So technically the next inning started as soon as the last out was made, with 1 minute left. Next inning has to be played.

    Getting a 9 year old to swing the bat?

    Rec ball concern here. I have a few girls that I can't seem to get to swing the bat. They just stand there and walk or strikeout. We play 10U. In practice They swing and hit the ball, but games it's not happening. Also, have a few that back out of the box as soon as the pitcher releases the...

    Time Limit Question

    I told em that. I went to get my rulebook to show them, but didn't find it until they had done made the teams shake hands and clear the dugouts.

    Time Limit Question

    I honestly think the ump had no clue about the rule. I really think she actually thought that the team had to be in the field and we had to be batting before time ran out. She just needs to educate herself on the time limit rules, and other rules for that matter.

    Time Limit Question

    Thanks for The reply, I was 100% sure I was right. We we're probably gonna lose anyhow, but I wanted to make sure the ump knew for future reference that She made a bad call and needs to educate herself on the rules going forward.

    Time Limit Question

    We are losing, Score is 7-2 , we are visitors. Bottom of 4th inning ends. Home team starts to take the field. Umpire yells "ball game, there's only 1 minute left and they can't take the field that fast". I try to explain that once the 3rd out is made, the next inning has to be played if there's...

    Ideal balls for 10U?

    I think we may go with the MacGregor. They are about $20 cheaper per dozen and can get free shipping on them. I wouldn't think the Worth would perform any better? I just have to ask at the meeting tonight if they prefer raised seams(worth) or the flat(MacGregor).
