This past July had the opportunity of being assigned to the 2003 14 and under baseball World Series in Canton, Michigan.
We played by American League rules, however the FED pitching rules, and FED reentry rules were added as well for the tournament.
None of the umpires knew this until we attended the mandatory umpire's meeting the night prior to the opening day of games for the World Series.
The point I am making is, if you advise your umpires that you play by a certain set rules, then that is what you do all year, and you do not adjust them for any reason.
