We have a large ASA rec league that uses a 1:15 time limit (no new inning after the limit) and a 5 run per inning limit. Player participation is assured by bat-the-roster rule and unlimited defensive sub rule. The coaches understand the purpose of a rec league, and most have a regular rotation they follow on defense. The league games are double headers, and the batting order continues in the second game from where the first game left off. Pitchers are limited to 5 innings (or parts of innings) per double header.
The LL player participation rule is not any more effective than how this league is run.
