You really are making this waaaaayyyyyy too complicated. We are talking about leagues where kids play in warm-up jerseys with absolutely no numbers. And in most cases players cannot even foul out of a game. Most leagues that I have seen in my state and in other states when I have attended camp, was to allow the players an opportunity to play against competition so they can improve individually or as a team.

Once again you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. I have never been in a summer league where any association has any kind of say as to how a league or tournament is run during the summer or off season. These leagues are sponsored by the schools and any other business that wants to provide money to help run the league. I am really kind of curious why anyone would want to have such a standardize rules set for something that is basically practice. I have been involved with leagues that did not want any dunking period. That is not apart of any normal rule, but the school did not want kids damaging their equipment. I bet that the TD is not going to make a big deal out of this at all. If this was a problem, they should have got it resolved before the game was over. After that most TD are not going to ultimately care that deeply about the results. AAU has more standardization in most cases.

Peace
