i do sanctioned little league, which follows LL rule book strictly.
i do independent traveling leagues as well (from 13 yr. olds to 16-17 yr. olds.) and they tell me what they want at the plate confrence. most of them play OBR and sometimes they want to hit 10 guys or they want to do special stuff with runners for catchers and what not. a coach will usually say they want to do something special (like with runner for catcher, pinch runners) and if both agree its fine with me. im not picky on what they want. i call the game to how they want to play.
i will do whatever the coaches want, as long as its still a baseball game. usually the only changes to regular rules are usually with runners for catchers or pinch runners. sometimes its the guy that made the last out, and sometimes its a guy that isnt in the game.
the college league i did this fall was NAIA but we just did OBR with free substitution and hit a 10 man lineup.
