The Rule
The rule we are discussing is whether or not a coach can have a count 'clicker' in the dugout or on the field at anytime.
A board member at our last USSSA tournament came to our dugout in the last inning of our game and told our coach he had to put the clicker up or be ejected. I told that man he better show me in the rules where that was because we had NEVER heard such a thing in our life! Our kids were on the field in defense, not batting.
The man said after the game that he could've been ejected so it states in the rules. Well he then preceded to tell me that they went by not 1, but 3 different rules. OSSAA (Oklahoma Secondary School Activities), USSSA AND Major League! The tournament was listed and advertised as USSSA tournament. We live in Northern Oklahoma. We have never heard of FED or anything like what some are talking about. I think the guy was just being a real @$$.
Thanks for all your input, now I don't feel like I raised such a stink over nothing!
