I agree with 90% of what you said.
But in my area, I HAVE to remind people of the run rules and/or time limits. Everyone around here has made up their own rules, but everyone plays games in other towns. 5-run rule here, 6-run rule 1 1/2 miles north of here, no run rule in the last inning over there... 75 minutes here, 70 there, no limit over that-a-way... no new inning if a team is up by the run rule with less than X minutes to go here, never heard of that over there.
THOSE are the rules I mention in this "league" (term applied loosely) just for clarity's sake. None other.
