I'm telling you, this is some wonderful stuff coming in through here! I'm feeling a little bit better about all of this, and am starting to look forward to tomorrow's games. First task at hand though is that my team has our final game tonight, and we might end up being 1st. Last year was my first year and we finished with one win. This year we are the best team in our league. The head swims.
But then, it is onto trying to get this right. The thing is though that I am pretty sure our league is not a part of any official leagues. We live in a real small town and they scrape for players as is. Our league website is:

And as you can see, we have our own rule book and it all seems to be our own little world. The other coach and I have been going out of our minds due to some of the crazy things that have happened, and I wonder if maybe finding some allegiance with an official league wouldn't help this stuff out. All of the umpires used are parents and people they just drag into the games. I don't think we have anybody that is an "official umpire" anywhere. I wonder if I am the only one actually tracking down rules and the proper way of doing things. But I want it to be right for the girls.
Again, thanks everybody for the help! You do have a stellar group here!
