Local league - At the beginning of the year, I mention any local rules relevant to the age group, especially when the visitor is from out of town. (Especially time limit or run limit per inning), remind the age groups who have added rules (like 12U - D3k and IFF) of those new rules, and then what Dakota says.
At tourney, I always add at the beginning, "Strict ASA rules, no additions" which sometimes spurs a question about something they are not sure is local or ASA.
That's about it.
