BTW, I simply stated facts. There is no system under FED to make individual changes to their rules. If you do, then you are simply no longer playing under FED rules.

That's true for the FED football and basketball rulesets also.

Yes, we know what the rule book says, but we've been discussing how certain things are changed at the discretion of the governing body (state or local).
Examples:
1) Enforcing the batter's box rule
2) Not allowing a JV player to substitute because he isn't wearing the EXACT uniform of the varsity (even though everyone knows his uniform is red and the opposition is black and white)
3) The dugout extensions and warm up area, as decribed this past season in a point of clarification
4) Pine tar above the allowable mark
5) Allowing only OFFICIAL Fed baseballs
6) The mercy rule
7) Blood on a uniform
8) Warm ups on the sidelines while the other team is taking infield
9) Mounds that conform to the rule book!
