Dave, that's a great chart. I stepped into the vacant UIC position for my kids little league earlier this year, and I'll be handing this to all my umps.
Another rule you may want to call out because it's significantly different than the regular season rule is maximum pitchers per game. In the regular season you can only use 5 pitchers (or a 6th if your 5th gets hurt). In tournament play there is no maximum number of pitchers.
One thing that drives me nuts about LL is the fact that they have a whole separate set of rules and elegibility requirements for tournaments. This is yet more evidence that the entire LL experience is designed around the tournament season. I'd rather see one set of rules used all year, tweaking only things that must be changed to account for the tightly compressed schedules of most tournaments.
