You basically need to go to the web site and read them before going out: it is real easy to confuse them. Most are related to run limits, time limits, etc. but the younger the age group, the more local rules. In TBall 40+ rules is average. Since all the parks are run by volunteers there is turnover so our local association is not always able to provide input. Some of them even restate the ASA rule which is the scariest. We suggest they add a section that states - below are rules from the ASA rule book you should know and be familiar with (like LBR) and the rule book takes precedence in the case of a misprint. Most of the associations all register ASA so they get rule books but there are exceptions.

40+ rules sounds like too many knee-jerks
Also, not enough continuity.
