PS - I'm a Dixie District Director as well, albeit for softball. If I ran across this, I would also waive the rule that coaches must be from the regular season. Do you really not have a single parent (male or female) willing to help take your kids to the tournament? I'm shocked.

So now there are rules that decide how many adults it will take to screw a lightbulb. Must we try to legislate everything.
As a Director I certainly would be discussing with that one coach about his control of the team and if he assured me of that , I would let them play ball. That is what the league and post season activities are about. Maximizing involement.
I have coached many , many , many games by myself with up to 15 or more players and for someone to be making rules that decide how many adults it takes to have "Proper adult supervision", is pure crap. If the coach is willing to take on the responisbility, then by god "Let the kids play".
If your that concerned about proper supervision, as a director I would say that I will help you out if necessary but, by all means I would find ways for the kids to play.
