My pet peeve is the "No inning shall start with less than 5 minutes on the clock" or similar rules.
If you want to freaking play 85 minutes, call it 85 minutes - don't call it 90 minutes, except for the last 5.
My other favorite (since fixed) was a rule that 8U gets 1 base on an overthrow... without defining overthrow. I can't tell you how many different ways that was called by different umpires.
