I think you make pretty good points, Pete, and I don't have much of a quarrel. I still think it's goofy about the league you work that changes base awards for balls thrown out of play, but yeah if that's what they wanted to do I guess I'd acquiesce.
I would draw the line at "house rules" that adversely impact reasonable safety rules.
The high school fall league I'm working this fall is kind of amusing in that the coaches (who are mostly just dads helping out the "real" coach, who can't actually coach the team due to UIL rules) all say they're playing "high school rules," but most of them don't know the first thing about the many differences between FED and the pro rules they're more familiar with.
Fall ball is typically pretty low key, though, so we tend to muddle through without serious incident.
