The manager used "THREE" ineligible pitcher's!
As a board member I'd request his resignation pronto.....

Strictly speaking, you are limited to ordering a replay per 4.19.
Per Reg VI, pitching eligibility is per week. Rest is always required. If the game is replayed later, and the pitchers are eligible at the time the game is replayed, you will have to let them pitch or be subject to another protest.
You are free to dicipline the manager as you see fit, the umpire crew that allowed it to happen, as well as whoever it was that scheduled games on back-to-back days.
I'd be really nasty to the manager and umpires because the very first sentence in Reg VI "This regulation applies only to the Little League (Majors) Division AND MINOR LEAGUE [emphasis added]." For them to state otherwise is asinine and totally irresponsible.
You also need to tell your scheduler to not schedule a team's games on back-to-back days due to pitching regulations.
